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.

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.

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.
