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.

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).

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.

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.
