Auth0 Reviews & Product Details

Auth0 takes a modern approach to Identity, providing secure access to any application, for any user. Safeguarding billions of login transactions each month, Auth0 delivers convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation. Auth0 is part of Okta, The World’s Identity Company™. Auth0 lets you quickly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications, with new Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) that goes beyond role-based access control. Authenticate users across all applications with a customized, secure, and standards-based single login. Universal Login connects users to a central authorization server. Credentials aren’t transferred across sources, which boosts security and protects against phishing and credential stuffing attacks. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (like the browser) be used by native applications for authentication flows. Auth0’s Universal Login achieves this while also enabling SSO.

"Quick and easy to implement, robust feature set with plethora of integrations"

5/5

What do you like best about Auth0?

The CLI tool that allows tying current implementation to version control, and enabling seamless propagation across environments is extremely powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

Our specific use-case requires more flexibility in terms of branding pages/emails and custom domains to support our whitelabel applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Auth0:

I would highly suggest it to anyone that is considering building their own authentication service. I would also suggest it to anyone considering replacing their existing authentication service. Auth0 is the gold standard in authentication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Auth0 solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it primarily for SSO between applications. As a growth company with significant M&A activity, we have applications in several different languages/frameworks, and Auth0 has SDKs/clients in all of them, making the integration process quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super responsive & always ready to help"

4/5

What do you like best about Auth0?

The team is extremely willing to help our team with insights and de-bugging. We have a check in with them quarterly as well as constant communication outside of meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

There has been a lot of turnover on the team since I have started working with them. This hasn't caused many issues, however it is a bit disconcerting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for setting up authentication to our apps"

5/5

What do you like best about Auth0?

Overall, it's very easy to use, it gives you some templates in different programming languages (like python, node.js, go) that you can use on your apps, and it's very clear about what type of application you need to set up in Auth0 in order to meet your app's needs (whether is Native App, Single Page App, Regular Web Application, Machine-to-Machine, according to OAuth 2.0 standards).

The sign up/sign in features are very good. For users is very easy to create an account and then login into the application. Also, you can set up regional settings, so users from different parts of the world can get the login page customized in their language (in our case we use English/Spanish, but there are many more).

I'd recommend to set up a development tenant and a production tenant, so you can have more freedom to test out new features on the development environment, and you can allow access from localhost for developers. The good thing is that if you want to set up a production tenant, Auth0 runs a series of checks, specially for allowed URLs, so you know if your environment is really ready for production; for instance, if you have localhost as an allowed callback URL, Auth0 will not move your tenant into a production environment until you fix that.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

The only thing I would change is to be able to create custom logins more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Auth0 helps with authentication that developers do not have time for."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Auth0?

Auth0 has a lot of authentication options for developers that don't have time to implement their own versions on their systems. It's affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

Some of the administration options are not available via API, which makes it harder to totally automate auth0. Everything available via the UI needs to be available via API, in fact, it should be in the API first, then the UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bait and switch + bullying - They lost long term business."

0/5

What do you like best about Auth0?

N/A - There was very little to like by both sales and operations teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

Quote for renewal was produced 20 days before the renewal deadline. New pricing models doubled the price for a reduction in service consumption. Was bullied on meeting 20-day window to accept the offer or leave service.... There will be no further business personally with this company nor their parent Okta. I am speaking as an individual.

"Nice solution to "start small but think big""

5/5

What do you like best about Auth0?

Time to production. Both doing a solution demo with customer branding and setting up Dev and Test tenants were achieved in a couple of hours. Customizing the standard integrations to fit is rather "configuring" and within minutes, you can test! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

Real customization is not a thing to do! If you need changes that require you to do full UI/UX adaptation will make you move to a "outside the SaaS" bolt-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Auth0:

If you are a developer and need to secure any eServices, try Auth0

If you need to provide full customization rather plan to do the login UI screens yourself and do not rely on the "out of the box" Lock.js... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Auth0 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly authentication for a globally unified user-community, accessing a number of eServices such configurators, shops, education etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bit of a learning curve, but it really did make the auth a lot easier."

4/5

What do you like best about Auth0?

The quickstarts are good. It gives you a good point to work from, and the articles and API explorer really allow you the chance to test drive some of the capabilities of the libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

The documentation can be a bit circular sometimes. Read A for more. Then you read A, and it leads you back to where you started. It happened to enough to be a bit frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Auth0:

Find the walkthrough videos and be very meticulous when you follow them. Also, if you're able to change the dashboard lay out to the old one so the instructions match.

The new UI makes it a tiny bit difficult to match the directions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Auth0 solving and how is that benefiting you?

There's a load of capabilities I wanted to use, and having auth0 manage some of the more fiddle parts of the auth process meant that I could concentrate on implementing fun features than messing with user management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Having fun implementing Auth0 in my application"

5/5

What do you like best about Auth0?

It is making authorization and authentication a breeze to implement with its user-friendly UI and intuitive API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

Same as other vendors, need more examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Auth0 solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm trying to create an application simulating the functionalities of a tuned down grocery store management software. Since the application can be shared by the store managers (e.g. to manage suppliers, customers, and employees), the store employees (e.g. to manage inventory, aisles, departments, and purchases), and customers (e.g. to create and modify orders) with sensitive information exchanging, a secure and an efficient authorization and authentication platform for the users and their roles is a necessity. Auth0 has provided me with a straight forward and secure way to achieve that part of my goal for the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for developers not for enterprise"

1/5

What do you like best about Auth0?

Nothing comes to my mind as we have to deal with short comings of auth0 from day to day basis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

Rate limiting, rules for client credentials and so many issues with not able to access permissions in the rules, no token exchange support, no metrics and alerts of any type. No enterprise-grade features. UI search is so broke that we built cli to search our API's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very simple to use and powerful"

What do you like best about Auth0?

Auth0 is very easy to use and gives you the peace of mind that your site is secure. The rapid development of your application is a key factor in the creation of your products and with Auth0 you will find Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Auth0?

I have a bit of confusion about the inner workings of the product I used. I read a little about its operation, but I had to look in their posts, I hope a support guide was available on its operation while you use the product and not just a black box that is used, since being sure how Authentication works is very important for the peace of mind of using Auth0.
