We performed a comparison between Auth0 and ForgeRock based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"I simply use the JWT from the client on the server side to process requests and push updated profile data to a database/queue as needed and end the process without having to persist data in the web server (sessions)."
"Easy to navigate, handle and manage the applications."
"The solution integrates well and it is important for them to keep up with the current trends in the market quickly enough, and they have been doing a good job at it."
"Even though we have very small business interests with them today, they see that we plan on growing drastically over the next two years. Therefore, we have excellent support and we are now at a point where we are not calling tech support. We pick up a phone and call the Account Manager and they'll get everything resolved for us. We don't have to queue along with everybody else and go through a long process."
"Easy to customize and adaptable to any environment."
"ForgeRock has CIAM, which other products didn't have, and they have DevOps ready."
"The most valuable features of ForgeRock are social login and data protection."
"The support is good and prompt."
"I like the way it is handling authentication and authorization."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check then signature to validate the token."
"The tool's price should be improved."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"The user interface could be improved as it is cumbersome and outdated. It doesn't have a responsive UI."
"The only problem with ForgeRock is that it is derived from an open-source product, so sometimes it's a bit unstable."
"We're worried about the scaling. We're told it will be okay and there won't be issues, however, I'm not 100% convinced."
"It should have a better user interface. Its flexibility should also be improved. It is not about simplifying; it is more about flexibility. Each company has its own requirements, and ForgeRock can provide more flexibility in terms of the use of existing modules to implement features for the customers."
"The solution's deployment should be made easier."
"They should improve the solution by include reporting."
"The solution could improve by adding more advertising and marketing."
"Automatic Deployment needs improvement. it could be made easier."
