"Integrating FusionAuth With A Django Application That Is Already In Prodiction."

4/5

What do you like best about FusionAuth?

The best thing about FusionAuth is that it provides a way to easily adopt its features incrementally. This is a lifesaver if you are switching authentication services while an application is in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

I have two critiques that relate to the Python client specifically. First, the login function returns a JWT, but not a refresh token. This behavior, however, is documented, occurs across all SDKs, and the documentation provides a workaround. Second, I wish the docstrings in the Python client referenced which API endpoint it was calling. I feel this would have saved some time in constructing the necessary payloads given their size and complexity, . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The particular client we are doing this integration for is a FinTech startup serving accounting firms. Their clients range in size from solo practitioners to extremely large firms. These larger firms have established authentication solutions (mostly Active Directory). Smaller firms do not necessarily use any authentication solution in particular, however, our client still wants to enforce some additional security measures, like MFA, even if such measures are not implemented by their client firms. FusionAuth abstracts the implementation details of these desperate client authentication systems nicely; allowing for a consistent authentication flow at the application level.

Furthermore, this client is currently pursuing their SOC2 certification. We recommended using the hosted version of FusionAuth because it has already achieved SOC2 compliance. This allows us to lean on FusionAuth's SOC2 guarantees during the client's SOC2 review period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
