Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"The most valuable feature is interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the authentication for the consumers. The integration with other third-party applications is excellent."
"The most valuable features of ForgeRock are social login and data protection."
"ForgeRock has CIAM, which other products didn't have, and they have DevOps ready."
"ForgeRock is an extensive product with many functionalities and capabilities, much more than many other tools combined."
"The solution integrates well and it is important for them to keep up with the current trends in the market quickly enough, and they have been doing a good job at it."
"We have found the identity and access management tools in the solution to be particularly useful for our organization."
"We create and define the permissions and configurations for the users."
"Even though we have very small business interests with them today, they see that we plan on growing drastically over the next two years. Therefore, we have excellent support and we are now at a point where we are not calling tech support. We pick up a phone and call the Account Manager and they'll get everything resolved for us. We don't have to queue along with everybody else and go through a long process."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"There is a possibility to improve the machine-to-machine authentication flow. This part of Auth0 is not really well documented, and we could really gain some additional knowledge on that."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"The solution's documentation is not very good, and they do not give more details."
"The user interface could be improved as it is cumbersome and outdated. It doesn't have a responsive UI."
"The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."
"Lacks simplified documentation within the tool that requires use of a separate portal."
"It should have a better user interface. Its flexibility should also be improved. It is not about simplifying; it is more about flexibility. Each company has its own requirements, and ForgeRock can provide more flexibility in terms of the use of existing modules to implement features for the customers."
"I think the upgrade process is sometimes a little complicated and there are failures that occur."
"In an upcoming release, the solution could improve by limiting the need to do customizations."
"The solution requires more simplified customization. However, part of the problem is my clients determining their own preferences. Technology can help and do many things, but you have to define your own policies to ensure that the solution or service works within those parameters. Helping customers understand their business and different processes is another issue not relating to the functionality of this solution."
