Fully featured IAM Solution for Enterprise SaaS
What do you like best about the product?
Descope has been an ideal fit for Aptly’s identity and access management. Its login flows builder made implementation flexible and smooth, allowing us to integrate SSO, SCIM, and directory sync without heavy engineering effort. The flexibility to support multiple authentication methods (passwordless, social, MFA, etc.) ensures that our clients have the capabilites that enterprise customers expect. Additionally, Descope’s team has been highly responsive and supportive, making the implementation a very good experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s little to dislike but if I had to point out one area for improvement, it would be ensuring all documentation is up to date (understabdably difficult when featue release quickly) and expanding documentation with more advanced implementation examples.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Descope provides a single solution for identify and access management (IAM) with advanced features that enterprise clients like those of Aptly expect such as SCIM integration/directory sync, and detailed audit trails.
Leveraging Descope reduced burden on our engineering team and enabled features that would have otherwise taken us much mroe time and effort to implement, namely fine grained authorization (FGA).

Descope saved us so much time...
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to integrate, tons of needed features and use cases, slick desing, startup program.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly cant find anything that I don't like about them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Descope took all the CIAM effrots from us, allowed us to not write a single line of code for any of the use cases of tenants, users, api keys management.
NO BRAINER!
What do you like best about the product?
Have a best-practice, best-of-breed AuthN/AuthZ platform for your product is just a non-negotiable in 2024. To do this in a way that also stays current with the current threat landscape is difficult to do if this specific area is not your core competency. Descope has allowed us to achieve this bar with a surprisingly simple integration effort. No, rolling your own solution here is not a good idea or faster.....stop thinking about it.....choose Descope.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had hands-on experience with Descope in two organizations now and I have not encountered an issue that was not addressed by their team or roadmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexible yet standards-aligned AuthN/AuthZ platform for out entire product portfolio allowing us to shift our focus to our distinctive competencies and move faster in those areas without sacrificing quality/security.
Excellent experience with Descope for client authentication
What do you like best about the product?
The personal and extensive (read: unlimited!) support from Michael Rimboim and the Descope team is what made my experience excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was not easy to onboard with Squarespace- but we did it and it's working great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are making log in to the online library and membership sign up way more secure than it was. We also were able to take alot of manual labor away from a volunteer team of librarians running the library.
Solid tool, great customer service
What do you like best about the product?
Customer service is very responsive and supportive. Solution is very flexible to meet custom needs and has lots of features.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's definitely a learning curve and some features/use cases seem to only be supported using Flows, not API/SDK. Flows can do pretty much everything though, so that might not be a con if you're OK with the no code approach.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to handle lots of different custom use cases for both retail and business customer identity. Provides us with confidence in our CIAM and that we will be able to keep up with changing landscape as CIAM and MFA approaches evolve.
Taken a huge headache off from me
What do you like best about the product?
Once configured, this is a superpower, especially for a small startup.
We implemented it to comply with one login requirement, and all of a sudden, we found plenty of other ways to take advantage of it.

What do you dislike about the product?
Coming from virtually no experience or knowledge on the subject, it was a pain to really understand all of its aspects, and since our setup is quite unique, we had to spend a lot of time making it work.
The support team has gone out of their way to help us. At one point, three team members were consulting with us, and one of them continually followed up until we reached success.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a bunch of tools connected together to allow logins with MFA and some SSO. moving to Descope, most of those tools became irrelevant, we have now one point of entry for all future users, and this entry point can be configured to receive tons of login options, and already allowed us to implement IP filtering per user without any code.
A former customer identity specialist who loves Descope
What do you like best about the product?
Having been a customer identity specialist for years, I knew I wanted a solution to handle the authentication for my new application. I previously worked for a leading company in the space, but I couldn't justify their price point of several dollars per user just for authentication (there are so many other costs that go into building, hosting and maintaining an application). However, I wasn't willing to compromise on quality just to save money, so I explored all of the competitors I was familiar with before selecting Descope.
Descope was easiest to use, had the features I needed and made it easy to do everything from setting up different user flows, to creating different development environments. Plus, as we scale their price point is appropriate and doesn't require ridiculous negotiations to get to a reasonable dollar amount for the authentication portion of the application .

What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to see Descope continue to expand the pre-built integrations they have, but this is something I can manage around by working with the APIs of the apps myself while Descope continues to expand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It handles all of my authentication flows including login, sign-up and user registration for protected pages that require signup prior to access.

Best product I used this year
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly easy to use, requires less than 1 day to setup, and has had great reliability across our applications. I never thought that auth would be this easy to setup. Drag and drop database sync, sign up flows, etc. have been impeccable for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could use some improvement, and their documentation is great but takes an hour to get used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to roll auth in house. This was incredibly painful and unreliable. We got introduced to Descope and never looked back. It took us just a day to integrate. The fact that we haven't had to worry about it since speaks volumes.
Modern Way To Do Auth
What do you like best about the product?
Descope is one of the most developer friendly services I've personally worked with in the last couple years. Since I first started working with Descope, they released a lot of new features as well as improved existing ones which means they're constantly making an effort to provide the best product possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing might be steep for some projects so this is probably not a one size fits all solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to build flexible auth flows that even support no-code way of building.
