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.

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.

I love the "Bring your own UI" idea, it's also fast and reliable. We've been using it for 4 years without any major issues
