Simple, fast, reliable Auth!
What do you like best about the product?
Loved the entire experience with descope. It was super easy to get started, they have support for every type of auth you might require, and SDKs to use this authentication in the backend as well. But the best thing about Descope is their customer support - they are incredibly helpful and responsive, and even offered to get on Zoom calls to help me debug some of my issues (and I'm on their free tier!)
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard for me to find things I dislike about Descope, even if I did, it would just be nit picking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling all auth and user identities, descope is our source of truth for all things users/ tenant related.
Solid solution for user authentication
What do you like best about the product?
Once we integrated Descope, setting up user authentication flows is really easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the documentation could provide more thorough coverage of use cases beyond the basic ones.
Also, the experience of styling the login components could be better.

Easy to use, hassle-free auth integration experience
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use as a developer, supports many authentication and authorization types, customizable, has a very clear guide for each IdP on how to integrate with it - very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit harder to integrate with older frameworks - like Laravel for us, but still worked well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Until using Descope, we only offered authentication by standalone email and password. As we grew and started addressing enterprise-level customers, we needed to offer SSO as an authentication method but didn't have the scale to implement it on our own, and we didn't want to re-invent the wheel.

Descope Delivers an Exceptional Product with Outstanding Support

Descope solves our need for modern Identity and Access Management by enabling a fully passwordless authentication experience. It provides a seamless and secure login flow across multiple platforms, helping us deliver both strong security and a frictionless user experience.
Effortless, Secure, and Dev-Friendly Authentication at Last
What do you like best about the product?
1. Customers can roll out SSO on their own—no Customer Success or Solutions Engineering support required.

What do you dislike about the product?
A small hurdle was generating PDF versions of the SSO guides that kept their dynamic details intact, so customers could forward them to their internal IdP admins—who don’t have platform access—letting those teams handle the setup on their own.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Descope removes the heavy lifting of building and maintaining authentication by giving us an all-in-one, passwordless-ready platform for SSO, MFA, risk checks, and customizable login flows. That means our engineers focus on core features instead of auth code, our security team gains unified auditing and real-time alerts, Customer Success spends less time hand-holding SSO setups because customers can self-serve, and users enjoy friction-free sign-ins—ultimately accelerating releases, tightening security, and slashing support tickets in one move.
Super customizable, super easy auth solution with amazing support
What do you like best about the product?
Descope has been a great experience so far. The UI is super easy to use, and it’s honestly one of the most customizable tools I’ve worked with. Whether you're a developer or more into no-code, it just works. Setting up sign-up and login flows feels more like building with automation tools than coding an auth system from scratch, which is exactly what we needed.
One thing I really appreciate is the support. The community is active, and the Descope team actually responds quickly and helps you out—even if you're not on some huge enterprise plan. We ran into a few tricky implementation issues and they were right there to guide us through it.

What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to nitpick, I’d say the naming and terminology can be a little different from what you might be used to with other platforms. It took a bit of figuring out at the beginning, especially around access keys. But once you get it, it’s smooth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a modular authentication solution that could be used to consolidate authentication experience across multiple application. Furthermore we were interested in reducing our security risk by not storing user passwords. Finally we were interested in easy implementation of social login with g-suite and microsoft to make the login experience more seamless for our end users.
VP of Engineering
What do you like best about the product?
Descope made onboarding incredibly easy—I was able to completely replace my previous auth service in just two days. Their team is highly responsive and worked closely with me to ensure everything was production-ready. The documentation is clear and well-structured, making it easy to self-serve and implement features without friction. Overall, a great experience!
What do you dislike about the product?
One challenge I faced was with supporting external API keys, which wasn’t as straightforward as I expected. Some additional guidance or examples in the docs would have been helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Descope helps us manage authentication and authorization across multiple tenants in our product. It also enables secure authentication for service-to-service communication and supports external API keys for user access.
