FusionAuth: Essential for Security Research with Easy Setup
What do you like best about the product?
I like that FusionAuth helped me in getting some details about my past accounts, like where the account was created and by which server and browser. It gives me partial access to important information, which is crucial for my research on vulnerability and identity theft. Also, the initial setup of FusionAuth was quite easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how FusionAuth is available for everyone, which means while I'm using it for my research, others can use it against me to get my information reversed or changed. It would be better if there was a way to enhance privacy, like adding face or retina authentication so that no one can misuse it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FusionAuth helps me research data lost due to security vulnerabilities, providing partial information about account creation details like server and browser used.
User-Friendly Integration with Easy Setup
What do you like best about the product?
I use FusionAuth for authentication and user management, including for SSO and roles. I find it user-friendly and that it works out of the box. It's easy to integrate too. The setup is straightforward, and the documentation is clear, which enhances my experience significantly. Compared to Keycloak, FusionAuth feels less complicated and more straightforward, making the initial setup pretty easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI feels too complicated at first. Some advanced features take time to understand, and an advanced toggle or similar option could be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use FusionAuth for authentication and user management. It saves time on building and maintaining our own auth system.
Easy Setup, Predictable Pricing, Needs UI Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I find FusionAuth very easy to set up and use, with pretty understandable API features. The interface is clean and easy to use, which is good. The pricing is pretty predictable, especially when compared to other services. It's good for developers like me who own a website, thanks to its clean APIs and good API documentation, which is easy to understand and take action on.
What do you dislike about the product?
The token lifetimes don't really last long, which is a bit frustrating. Also, when I first logged into FusionAuth, I didn't really understand what it was meant to help with. The interface, while functional, isn't user-friendly or particularly pretty. It wasn't easy to understand at first, and I had to do my own research to figure it out. This part of the experience could definitely be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find FusionAuth easy to set up and use. It simplifies login and authentication, sparing me from manual coding. The API is clear and helps make it user-friendly for my website.
Easy Integration and Self-Hosting Flexibility with FusionAuth
What do you like best about the product?
I use FusionAuth for authentication in my react app, and it has been incredibly beneficial. I don't need to create my own authentication system from scratch, which saves me a lot of time and effort. It handles security issues effectively, so I don't have to worry about the complexities and potential vulnerabilities of rolling my own authentication system. I also love that I can add multiple providers simultaneously without dealing with each one separately, which greatly streamlines integration and management. FusionAuth offers good pricing, which is an attractive aspect for me. Its easy integration process ensures that I can incorporate it into my projects without unnecessary hassle. One of the standout features is that FusionAuth can be self-hosted, which is a significant advantage compared to other alternative solutions, allowing for more control over the deployment. Additionally, the initial setup was straightforward due to the very clear documentation, and the community support has been quite helpful, providing valuable assistance when needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the lack of clear pricing with FusionAuth. It's not easy to tell at a glance, and I wish this could be made clear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use FusionAuth to avoid building an auth system, handle security, integrate multiple providers easily, and self-host. It's cost-effective and integrates swiftly into my React app with supportive community and documentation.
Streamlined User Management with a Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate FusionAuth's ease and modern UI, which make managing user roles and organizations straightforward and prevent these tasks from becoming a side project. The administration UI is particularly usable, providing an efficient way to manage these elements. I value the built-in multi-tenant support, single sign-on (SSO), and permission features that eliminate the need for hand-coding authentication logic, significantly simplifying the management process. Moreover, FusionAuth has saved me the effort of developing additional services to manage roles and authorization, which is a huge time saver.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some parts of FusionAuth feel a bit too configurable, which can be overwhelming. Although the flexibility is generally positive, it results in having to click through multiple menus for a single tweak that ideally should be centralized. This adds unnecessary complexity and detracts from an otherwise efficient user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use FusionAuth to avoid the hassle of manually managing roles, simplifying user and organization management with a user-friendly UI. Its built-in multi-tenant, SSO, and permission features spare me from coding custom auth solutions.
FusionAuth gives me a dependable option for centralizing all my logins.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate their flexible self service options for role and permission management. It cuts down my need for engineering involvement for setting and gatekeeping access for multiple application logins to a single account. The self hosted option gives me control. It also feels modern and easy to manage and it also gives me the peace of mind knowing that all the data remains in our control.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation provided is detailed but there are instances where it assumes a certain technical knowledge that some of my team members do not possess which can lead to longer onboarding times. And I can understand the need for fast iterative cycles but some updates have introduced minor config changes that have actually broken some things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FusionAuth is the first centralised system I have used. I can now manage my multiple tools without the fuss of juggling passwords and access policies. It has been particularly liberating for our devs, since they can now implement a secure log in system for multiple projects in a matter of seconds. Overall I have far fewer I can't log in support tickets and more importantly I have more time in my day.
Good Product, Horrible Customer Treatment
What do you like best about the product?
We have complex needs in that we’re a multi-sided, multi-tenant enterprise SaaS platform and need to support customer specific identity providers for SSO. We also require end-to-end authentication across different applications, microservices, and APIs. FusionAuth’s flexible multi-tenant architecture and first-class developer experience enabled us to unify all of this in short order, and made it simpler than others (at the time) to do so.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their commercial practices are horrible. For many years we were a "no maintenance" customer, never needing to leverage their support or complain in any way. At the request of their CEO we let them do a press release about our selection of them. We served as a sales reference too, even speaking with prospects, at least one of which became a customer spending more than double what we did.
Last year, out of the blue, FusionAuth dropped a more than 2x price increase coupled with an annual commitment under the guise of dropping high availability hosting from the plan we were on. We didn't need any of the features in the new tier, either.
Their account executive hounded us relentlessly via email and voice mail, all the while ignoring our request for specifics as to how a downgrade would be handled if we did not proceed. Ironically, their VP of sales would email about "our continued partnership." Meanwhile, their backoffice kept renewing our existing plan, sending mixed messages.
After years of being their advocate, we were left feeling like just another number to squeeze for revenue.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FusionAuth’s IAM platform was built with developers in mind and is API-first, meaning developers are able to easily integrate its authorization and authentication services such as OAuth, OpenID Connect and SAML directly into the products they're building. At the time we selected them, they were leagues ahead of other competitors like Auth0 in this regard.
FusionAuth improves my productivity while keeping my applications secure
What do you like best about the product?
FusionAuth manages user authentication for my internal and client side applications and what I enjoy the most is how easy it is to set up single sign-on and multi-factor authentication. As once configured, I never have to manage them again. I enjoy the simplicity of the Dashboards and the low frequency of user facing changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Troubleshooting documentation, and documentation on tweaking some components, is to me overly complex. I also didn’t anticipate the configuration time due to the state of the legacy systems. Further, I feel reluctant documentation around advanced settings and some high level prompts on what is to come would go a long way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can now focus my uncovered time on user facing applications, knowing that the security of user access to back-end applications is stream lined and also since FusionAuth improves compliance around security and manages support requests around blocked accounts.
Solid!
What do you like best about the product?
It's user friendly, offers great flexibility with customizable workflows that are easy to set up & use
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. I like the software.....
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly login issues,
FusionAuth is My Favorite Authentication Provider for My Apps.
What do you like best about the product?
FusionAuth suited my needs as the authentication system for a number of web applications I use and I particularly like the ease with which I can control different methods of logging in - email/password, social logins, and even magic links. The self-hosted option is particularly appealing because the APIs are simple, and control over the data is guaranteed. I have the freedom of self-hosting without the worry of being stuck in a rigid setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
The admin UI could use some work. It is quite frustrating going through many menus for what should be simple adjustments. It takes a lot longer than it should to set some advanced features like a tenant-specific role or a webhook. Other useful features are paid and can be expensive for smaller projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FusionAuth saves me countless hours on building authentication systems from scratch, which is a significant portion of time wasting effort. It automates user account consolidation, password management, complicated login processes, user sign up and sign in, and user centralization. With authentication systems no longer being an issue, I can dedicate my time on the actual product.
