"Great full-cycle authentication/authorization platform from Amazon"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Cognito?

First of all it`s very easy to add authentication/authorization flow to your application without implementing this yourself and spend lot of time for it. It supports MFA, login with social accounts, internal users database, fully implemented OAuth flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Cognito?

Absolutely absent localization for error messages sent by platform (this small ticket has not been resolving for several years by AWS team - only promises - https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=265505)

Hosted UI does not have localization as well - https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=301920.

Small number of customization features for custom login page Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazon cognito allows user management for your mobile applications, allows you to do it in an easy "
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Cognito?

Amazon Cognito is a broad and complete platform when resltar what I like most of this would consider that the best thing is to make the services can be used without access to internet which is something that is sought with many programs and few they have and is one of the biggest advantages, additionally allows to create ways to have a wide security in what relates to passwords and difficulty when hacking an account if it is the case, so you can be sure having information here.

It is a platform that I like and I have been able to recommend it to a diversity of colleagues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Cognito?

Among what I do not like about this Amazon Cognito platform are its menu, that is, the options that are usually counted are not the best, in addition to be able to use the platform with its best tools, it is necessary to make a payment even though the initial registration does not generate an additional cost.

Although the payment is a disadvantage because it is not available to everyone I think that the payment is important in order to have a continuous improvement and be able to advance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Cognito?

responds well and is cost effective to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Cognito?

user pool identity provider documentation is very thin. WE struggled to get it to work. The docs seemed to explain that you could add multiple identity providers and have them connect to a single cognito account but it doesn't seem to actually work that way. We ended up using an identity pool and IAM roles and consolidating federated users with internal acounts on our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
