"Simple Authentication Setup, Needs Better Webhooks"
What do you like best about Kinde?

I like Kinde because it's super easy to use. It literally takes just two to five minutes to set up authentication, which used to be a tedious task. I also appreciate the very good documentation they provide, which makes it simple to integrate with the SaaS applications I'm working on. The platform's components for rendering and conditional rendering are also something I really like, as they are easy to use and helpful. Once the authentication is in place, I can focus on the main logic of my application without worrying about it, which helps me move fast and stay focused on what's more meaningful for my SaaS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Webhooks, man, I wish they had better webhooks. I'm not sure if they have right now, but when I was using it, they did not have webhooks. I wanted users to also be synced in my database. So, yeah, webhooks are the one that can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Auth Product"
What do you like best about Kinde?

Moving from Firebase to Kinde was easy and has allowed us to really increase the way we manage our SaaS platforms users and RBAC. Moving to kinde has been amazing for our business and has also helped us to ensure our security for clients is above the industry standard.

The new addition of the billing has been great too as we are able to move out of stripe and now have a single provider to handle our foundational user onboarding, billing and continued authentication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

So far we have not found any limitation within kinde for our use case. All the features we needed and expected work perfectly.

I could suggest some reporting added directly within the Kinde management portal but with the ease of setting up the Kinde API with our CRM and having custom workflows we no longer have a need for reporting directly in Kinde Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"What a great product, so happy we found it!"
What do you like best about Kinde?

Kinde was super easy to integrate. We had to try and replace an existing Identity Server based customised solution so we had to try and make it work in place of our old solution with minimal rewrites and without completely changing our code. Kinde was up to the challenge and would have been even easier if we didn't have these restrictions in place.

The support we received from their team was fantastic, even in the lead up to the project when we were trying to select a solution, they were great in helping us evaluate Kinde and answering the many questions we had.

Once everything is set up, it just works really well. It's fast, easy to administer, and the pricing is very fair and reasonable compared to the competition.

The team is always building new features and growing the product so it's great to just see new helpful features appear! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

If any of your code is stuck on .Net Framework (rather than modern .Net) then they don't have an SDK, but implementing Kinde using the oauth token endpoints is still very easy.

Importing users via CSV has some limitations at the moment which I believe they will be working on in the future.

In some instances the docs were a bit vague or incomplete and I had to go to their support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Migrating from Auth0 to Kinde"
What do you like best about Kinde?

Everything is simple and easy to use, yet the product is feature rich and comprehensive. They've manadge to do a great job of balancing technical features with clean and uncomplicated UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

I've seriously found no downsides. Its a fabulous product and my only very minor complaint is i don't know how to pronounce the company name! Kind? Kind-e? ha! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to setup, elegant solution"
What do you like best about Kinde?

Kinde is very easy to setup with my Nextjs project. It takes care of user session management for me with simple functions. I love that I didn't have to manually manage user sessions and cookies. User management is easy from the Kinde dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

I wanted to change roles using the API. I found the API docs for the machine to machine tokens was confusing. I had to dig deep into their Slack channel to find this information. I wish they would write more clear instructions on this aspect of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Tamal,

Thanks for the review and thanks for continuing to chat with our team about your feedback :)

"One of the best authentication system out there for devs"
What do you like best about Kinde?

Working with Kinde has been an awesome experience. Their Discord channel offers fantastic support, and the setup process is a breeze no matter what language you're using. The pricing is great, especially since you don't need a credit card to get started. Plus, you get two environments for testing your code in the free version, which is super handy. The community authorizations available are extensive, making integration smooth and secure. Kinde keeps impressing us with their ongoing improvements. We highly recommend them to any agency looking for a reliable auth solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Everything worked awesome while working with kinde, but last time I faced an error everytime while logging in in Firefox browers😅 it was working in my chrome ,but not in Firefox. Another thing, i would also like to know a way to store the users in a database like Mongodb or SQL :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Thanks Anish!

We'll look into Firefox for you. Thanks for raising.

"Easy to implement authentication"
What do you like best about Kinde?

First of all, amazing work! Kinde provides seamless authentication on the user end and effortless integration for the developers. I was able to integrate kinde with my next.js app in less than 10 minutes (literally) cause the documentation is very clear and straightforward, telling exactly what to do! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Personally I never ran into an issue with kinde since I used it on a small project of mine but I think since kinde is kinda new in the authentication market so the community support won't be as huge when compared to other providers but that's just a matter of time with the services kinde provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Thank you Sujal! Glad you're enjoying Kinde so much.

"Quick, hassle-free setup"
What do you like best about Kinde?

The Kinde setup was very straightforward. It's the first Auth tool that I implement myself, so I can't compare, but I was satisfied with the experience. So far, I've received a timely reply on all of my support requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

My implementation was fairly basic, but I did notice some missing features that required workarounds. There are also some integrations to email campaign services and analytics tools that seemed available with other Auth providers that weren't yet available for Kinde.

"Finally an affordable login solution that is actually good"
What do you like best about Kinde?

I found Kinde looking for an affordable alternative to Auth0. Auth0's recent price hikes of 3x+ and their maximum monthly user limit of 20,000 MAUs without switching to an enterprise plan were a killer for me. Kinde offers plans with no MAU limits and a very affordable monthly price.

The default kinde login UI is clean and simple and more intuitive than Auth0's Lock.

Most importantly, Kinde's support has been there since day 1. After reviewing 10+ Auth0 alternatives, I settled on 3 which I actually booked calls with. The great people at Kinde were friendly, responsive and I truly felt they were there to help me. After signing up, the support team was there with answers, most times within 12 hours. In the few situations where I was looking for a feature that didn't exist, they considered the request and actually implemented the feature. The team has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

Kinde is growing fast, but because it is a newer platform it isn't as feature-rich as Auth0. Luckily their support team has been responsive, considered my requests, and has actually scheduled out development to enhance the product.

It would also be nice if the Login UI could be customized like Auth0's Lock via JavaScript. This is something that has helped me handle detecting when a user is logging in within a WebView so the "Sign in with Google" button can be disabled since this is a scenario that isn't allowed via Google and provides the users with a bad login experience. Alternatively, it would be great if Kinde could do this detection on our behalf. That would be even better than what Auth0 is doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Hey Ryan! Thank you for the extensive review.

Glad that you're enjoying the degree of support.

We're working on greater customizability for the Login UI in a manner that is sustainable and aligned with our focus on security. We'll have some new features for you to test soon.

"Best-in-class authentication as a service"
What do you like best about Kinde?

Extremely easy to integrate into existing software products. Also they genuinely have great technical/product support through multiple platforms which I have taken advantage of on numerous occassions. They offer all of this for free, although their pricing once you get a substatial number of users is very reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kinde?

There are some features that haven't been released yet which I'm looking forward to, however they're on their public roadmap, and always open to discussing status and expected timelines. That being said, the product is already very feature complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Connor Cameron of Kinde

Thank you Jamie! Glad you're enjoying Kinde and the support offering.

Excited for a few of those features to come out.
