"Powerful, Flexible Authentication with Effortless Setup and a Great UI"

5/5

What do you like best about FusionAuth?

The flexibility of the offering, paired with its power, feels unmatched in the authentication industry right now. With both self-hosted and cloud-managed options—and clear migration pathways between the two—it stays extremely cost-effective for software businesses of any size. Setup is a single line for self-hosted deployments, and the UI/UX web application is incredibly easy to use for managing your instance(s). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

The cost of the self-hosted license is a bit steep, even though it’s still very competitive. FusionAuth would benefit from lowering that barrier to entry so more customers have the chance to succeed with FusionAuth powering their authentication needs. In turn, that could help drive additional sales as those customers grow their businesses, including eventual moves like cloud migrations from self-hosted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

FusionAuth provides me with a clean, trustworthy, and efficient way to meet my authentication and authorization needs. Just as importantly, they have a team of real people—engineers, architects, and integration experts—who help ensure you get the most out of their offering. We not only addressed this need, but also discovered additional areas where FusionAuth could add value and reduce our reliance on bespoke solutions within our own offering.
