"Finally, an easy to integrate authentic service with all modern features"

5/5

What do you like best about Descope?

The whole process was very easy. Integration steps for both front-end and back-end were described very clearly and worked as described. It took us just a few hours to set up the account and integrate both front-end and back-end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descope?

Once you select initial authentication options, if you want to change the methods, there is no easy process. I was able to figure it out and complete it, but it could be made easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
