Easy to setup auth for my apps
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use to get started with adding auth to my apps that can use third parties to authenticate (i.e. Twitter, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
Little difficult to understand how to use roles/permissions for applications
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Main use case for me has been quickly adding third party auth to my apps without having to roll my own solution and/or needing a user/role/etc. db.

Great Product for authentication
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to integrate with our current system. The features available are awesome and it helped saved a huge amount of effort for us to create our own authentication service
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice we could have a trial of the services that we are currently not subscribed to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Authentication of users, MFA, security of the accounts. Ease of use and easy to implement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to implement no need to worry about authentication and security
Great experience working with dedicated team
What do you like best about the product?
The Auth0 team has been extremely supportive and receptive. It’s made onboarding a difficult integration much easier, even with varying time zones and availability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really jumps to mind, but the documentation could be a little bit easier to find. Would love to be able to self service a bit more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating authorization across multiple services. And speeding up the time to build out MFA, and SAML capabilities.
Efficient, reliable , open very good Identity provider
What do you like best about the product?
Fast bootstrap , and free trial period to learn/poc
What do you dislike about the product?
some basic option can be quite expensive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Password management responsibility
Authentication of Mobile app & APIs through Auth0
What do you like best about the product?
The platform grows with you and provides you the security needed. As Auth0 keeps updating its solution with each new insight or major changes in the field of authentication we as a customer are relieved from this burden. The platform also allows you to create as many tenants as you have environments in your application landscape. Through use of these tenants we could integrate the platform easily into our ALM.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no easy way its own administration portal to see all of the existing tenants and which tenants you don't have access to. When you don't have access to one of the tenants you also can't see who to contact.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a SaaS solution for B2C authentication which has great mobile SDKs. As Auth0 keeps these SDKs up to date and provides good documentation we can configure the authentication and move on to our applications themselves. By using the solution we were able to significantly reduce our authentication related development.
Excellent service and support

flexibility to work with multiple apps ,connections , multiple db connection
migration scripts , SSO integrations. i like the guides around different SAML providers.
the ability to customize login page per customer,

What do you dislike about the product?
the back button bug or when users bookmark the login page - they will get an error
this should be fixed and everything would be perfect.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have fun with it
Auth0 is an easy to use service and helps us make secure authentication for our applications.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease with which it can be implemented on different platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I still do not like is the fact that there is not much documentation for the mobile part that is to say for Android and for iOS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
So far I am teaching it, I used it for a couple of personal projects, but it still costs a bit for companies to implement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try the different ways to implement, and share your experience using Auth0.
Overall great product, difficult UI
What do you like best about the product?
Great UI and services offered for authentication and authorisation services
What do you dislike about the product?
* The documentation is not up to date and confusionari on different parts — and although I've been pointing out the wrong pieces in the Slack channel — nobody listened.
* No support for oAuth2 introspection
* No support for oAuth2 introspection
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identity is hard, and Auth0 makes it so easy
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep in mind that the documentation might not be up to date or even incorrect
Auth0 helped us to improve the customer experience through the adoption of a standard authentication
What do you like best about the product?
Auth0 gave us the peace of mind of having a secure and reliable platform with which we resolved, and will resolve, the future challenges in identity issues.
We admire the many code samples that you provide, from the product integration tutorials for the most known technologies (and not so much) to the examples of how to write a rule or a custom database script.

What do you dislike about the product?
All Auth0 documentation would be available in Spanish.
The costs for business customers are a bit high.
For large organizations like ours it is necessary that you provide Long Term Support (LTS) because it is very difficult for us to follow the dynamics that you have for changes and deprecations of features or libraries.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A recurring problem before using Auth0 was to enable a new user repository to an application, this task took us weeks of work. We can now solve directly on the console with a few clicks and without the need to involve the development sector responsible for that application.
Reducing vulnerabilities in the login flow was something we never thought we would solve, now Auth0 allows us not to worry about these issues.
The adoption of the platform reduced from one month to one week (or even days) the time that we used for authentication and authorization in each project.
We reduced the costs in the projects due to the savings in development time that we dedicated to the security of each application.

Auth0 is the best option!
Auth0 is amazingly flexible and customizable yet having good usablity and simplicity
What do you like best about the product?
- Auth0 cares about and gives back to the (open source) community, e.g. with the free plan
- Auth0 develops most of their software/libraries not as proprietary closed source but in the open which improves trust and security
- Auth0's only and main focus is on their external customers and no one else (e.g. in contrast to AAD)
- Auth0 has the best documentation
- Auth0 is the easiest to use (clear separation of APIs and Applications/clients .. which competitors can only dream of)
- Auth0 is the most flexible solution on the market (especially regarding the "last mile")
- Auth0 fits the serverless mindset

What do you dislike about the product?
- The pricing model must be easier to understand.
e.g. I get asked ...
- why is the price per external active user in "developer pro" ten times higher compared to "developer"?
- why is m2m tokens not included in "developer"?
Because what people told me they are doing in order to avoid the much higher "per user cost" of the "developer pro" plan is to use "users", assigned "permissions" and the "password grant" instead of "m2m apps" and the "client_credentials grant". I dislike this happening very much.
- Auth0 Management Portal's ...
- usability on mobile devices. It's not really adapting to smaller screen sizes.
- application and API search functionality is basically not usable. I'd wish that either the "user and application" seach would work (having a lot of users and apps) and be extended also for APIs or (better) have dedicated search for apps and APIs in the respective overviews .. that would work as well and as fast as the API search that one only gets to use when authorizing a non-interactive app for an API (where you have the search field for the API).
- The user enumeration attack vulnerability when having a database connection's signup functionality enabled (also see support ticket: https://support.auth0.com/tickets/00440353)
- The missing functionality in the Management API regarding Auth0 tenants, e.g. to create, delete etc.
- The missing (tenant-agnostic) logs for operations/events regarding Auth0 tenants, e.g. logs for events like "TenantWasCreated" etc.
- The fact that you can authorize dashboard admins only for either individual apps or EVERYTHING (including the creation of new Auth0 tenants 😳). I'm missing at least some kind of privileges for a group of apps and APIs.

see also: "What do you like best?", but especially the flexibility one has using rules. In a rule you can go and query legacy systems for authorization information and put those inside the tokens.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're using machine-to-machine communication, ensure to cache your tokens.
