It manages user access for webpages and Kubernetes clusters while keeping my apps secure. Automation also benefits me in daily tasks. It performs better even on low specs devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenUnison?

One thing I dislike is the use of third-party tools for better performance, which could pose a security risk. Also, the price may be a bit high for some users, and its services are not available in all countries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most simplified way to authenticate and authorize Application users"

4/5

What do you like best about OpenUnison?

We had a dry run to see how fast we could build an authentication mechanism with Openunison, and surprisingly the online documentation was so good that we were able to integrate within no time. Also the support team at Openunison is excellent, and they know how to solve any problem. We particularly were curious about LDAP and how Openunison would help, so their support team helped us out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenUnison?

None, for now, will keep posting if find any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

To build an authentication mechanism across multiple products is hard as they might have different models for logging in. In our case, one of them was using LDAP and Openunison helps with that we believe and it worked out great for us. Also, SSO is picking up and we will be using Openunison for integrating SSO for future purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
