The developer experience is just incredible. Ory makes auth a really easy thing to use and makes powerful features approachable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a hobbyist, I sometimes wish there was an easier way to use their Kratos tooling, I don't want to have to setup Oathkeeper alongside it for one of my projects just because of where I have to deploy it. Not amazing in Coolify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There’s good support whenever an issue comes up. Once it’s integrated, it’s easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial learning curve to understand how it works Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ory is very easy to integrate into application thanks to the provided SDK and component library. It only took us 2 days to have it fully integrated in both our front (with customized login forms) and our API.

Since Ory is an open-source solution, it also gave us the reassurance that we could switch to a self-hosted setup if necessary. This flexibility helps us avoid vendor lock-in and protects us from the significant price increases that some competitors might impose. The Ory Network pricing is also cheap (70$) while providing a large set of features related to authentication, making it a great deal.

On the documentation front, the team has made significant improvements over the past year. It is now easier than ever to understand the challenges of authentication and how to address them. Authentication is often a complex and risk-prone area, but Ory's excellent documentation and straightforward integration gave us the confidence we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ory Network does not yet cover every settings (editing an identity, updating some internal URL / settings, ...) but the CLI is there as a fallback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The open source ecosystem of tools impressed me. Their docs are very useful and provided examples are practical and lets you get into the flow of creating your own solutions quickly.

Their products have a clear separation of concerns and once you grasp it you "magically" understand how things connect to each other and how modular their tools can be to fit in our use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used mostly Kratos and Hydra, and although they work nicely together, it took me a couple of hours to figure out who is doing what, and how they communicate with each other.

So, it would be great to have newcomers to the ecosystem an easy (perhaps even visual) way to understand the ecosystem of tools and how they interact with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The architecture of Ory, where there is no dependencies between their services honestly makes it the most flexible identity system I evaluated. I use both Kratos and Keto I save a lot of time because the configuration is simple, but I can still handle pretty complex use cases.They are easy to deploy and scale in a Kubernetes environment.

Honestly, not many. I do feel that the documentation is not for beginners. Identity is incredibly important for SaaS and even in the age of AI, proper authentication, and authorization will always need to be maintained. I think if Ory were to have exemplary docs on how to use Ory Identity in product lead growth flows, or how to support multi team organization applications. Instead they have small whimsical examples that are fun but not real. Most developers learn by example. Younger developers learn by _literal_ example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ory develops opinionated IAM software, that will allow the right amount of customization to adapt it to your use case, but will not allow you to by-pass security. It does not compromise on security. We started using Ory when Ory Network, the cloud solution, did not exist yet, and the open source self-hosting part was the main way. We use it since then, and the Ory stack has proven to be a solid part of our infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the need for monetization, the open source software of Ory is not getting the attention it deserves. Instead, the cloud solution and enterprise images are the way to go, leaving open source users on their own.

I'm sure there are other ways to provide monetized value from the OSS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team is looking for a highly customisable identity solutions to suit and support the advanced authentication use cases for our readers. We are also in the midst of modernising our legacy Java stack (EC2s) to Go. Ory auth being components-based and being fairly un-opinionated in terms of OAuth standards has helped the team to layer and build our custom business logic. Being open sourced, we are able to control the deployment of the images, API rate limits, domains and how we would like authentication to work.

Ory Network will be better choice if you need a more out of box identity solution and you are a small team.

For open source hosting, it's will be a lot more work unless your business requires very advanced and special use cases to support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being open source does come with it downsides, the image being out of date and ridden with bugs as our team discovered. Some of the glaring bugs can trip us and slow us down.

Ory being un-opinionated, does require one to know the OAuth2 and Identity domain very well, else it can incur very high learning curve to know how to make Ory Kratos to Ory Hydra to work together.

It does not provide a front end client SDK out of the box like other IDP solutions. It's also lacking in advanced admin user management features like other IDP solutions. Unfortunately, our team has to spend time to build and layer over to achieve the same feature parity with our previous IDP solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have some very specific requirements around crypto wallet identities and the issuance and management of verifiable credentials. The flexibility and easy of use of the Ory products really helped us focus on building our product whilst not having to re-invent the wheel and staying in compliance with industry standards. Ory's products fit like a glove, they took over where we stopped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, just the documentation. Sometimes it was tough finding exactly how to implement certain details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're using Ory to offer our customers the ability to sign-in using SSO to our product. Integrating was straight forward and Ory's products are completely and fully documented.

Any questions or feature requests are handled fast and directly with very knowledgable customer support.

A nice additional benefit is that any low-priority feature could be self-built due to Ory being fully open-source, and their Network product using the open-source implementation.

Because we're very happy with Ory we are aiming to fully migrate our complete authentication solution to Ory in the mid-term future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike about Ory and their products except that some features can take some time to be implemented due to their small team size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Ory is open source and has a developer first approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could improve on the gaps in our documentation and the confusion between Cloud and self-hosted versions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
