Self service of centralized authentication, secure and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Built with security in mind, self hosted and flexible to serve numerous services that need authentication in a centralized way. Did I mentioned that the Dashboard Rocks?!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very easy to install and configure, but I see new alternatives of installation that I haven't tried yet, maybe I just talking junk and should go ahead and try these new ways of having it running ;-)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FusionAuth solves security problems allowing administrators to control the requirements of the passwords and centralizing a single-sign-on to all products and services.

An excellent balance of flexibility and ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
FusionAuth's feature set is hard to beat - it really is an all-in-one auth solution. We particularly appreciate the themable multi-tenant aspect to FusionAuth, the full OAuth 2 support, and the built-in registration, login, and forgot password flows. The admin console makes it easy to get started, but FusionAuth's API-first approach and excellent documentation have made it a breeze to automate tasks once we've got them working via the admin console. To top it all off we love that we can self-host FusionAuth and maintain full control over our user data. We've been doing this via Docker and have had very few problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The upgrade process for theme/email templates can be kind of a pain and we're not huge fans of freemarker. The flexibility afforded by this theming system is totally worth the effort though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use FusionAuth to manage > 50k user accounts (> 10k daily active users) across multiple iOS, Android, and web applications. The OAuth 2 support gives us a unified registration and login experience across all these platforms. It would have taken us many months to build a custom solution with a fraction of the features that FusionAuth gives us.
Easy to bring up, easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
It was a snap to get a self-hosted instance of Fusion Auth going, and for the same amount of effort it took to integrate just one social provider, I got a lot more flexibility.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to plan and deploy one more system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets me move all my authentication for both front-end and back-end to one place, without requiring me absorb the risk of moving everything off to a single social provider. The turmoil at twitter makes me very glad not to have chosen that option.
Don't reinvent the IAM wheel, focus on your domain logic
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with Kafka is fantastic for implementing integration events.
The handy built in email template editor makes it easy to customize your auth-related emails.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Kickstart tool is great for automating setup through API calls but it would be nice to have a little bit more of a declarative config file or environment variables for some of the commonly replicated setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OAuth integrations and auth token management are much better handled by a dedicated service like FusionAuth than by using any framework feature or library. We don't need to worry about identity management and can instead focus on the domain logic of our applications.
The free tier is generous and has been fit for our purposes
What do you like best about the product?
We support users across multiple apps and have found Fusionauth to be a good solution tot his problem. We also enjoy the typescript api client, support for SSO providers and the thorough documentation surrounding that.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to manage theming and templates for Fusionauth UIs, including the recover password screen, is not very approachable and looks really dated out of the box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to support a single user across multiple apps in our family of products which FA does effectively. We need to support SSO and FA handles that quite well. We benefit from having saved a lot of time not having to develop these features ourselves.
FusionAuth is the easy-to-use yet powerful auth system you're looking for!
What do you like best about the product?
Finding an easy-to-use yet powerful auth system is challenging. But FusionAuth provides this effortlessly and inexpensively. After discovering FusionAuth, creating our first demo took just a few hours. After that promising demo, we dove deep into the FusionAuth white papers and API docs to bring Circleboom Login to live.
From my previous experience with other identity providers, I can easily say it saved more than a couple of man/months and tens of thousands of dollars.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features are well hidden, and it’s not easy to understand how to find them, particularly adding roles to an application. Every time we want to do this, we search around and think, “where’s that roles menu item? It was here last time”. Then we realize after a few minutes that we need to exit “app edit mode” and click on the user-shaped icon to get into the roles. You manage every important thing about an app on the “app edit” screen, except role management.
On the admin dashboard, I still have to search for action buttons (you usually put them in the upper right corner). It’s somewhat contrary to standard UX.
Even though I love the product, I think it needs a user experience overhaul.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a standalone SSO system to help our users log in and use the different tools we create without a hitch. With FusionAuth, we were able to create a robust single sign-on solution.
Great center piece for your suite of services
What do you like best about the product?
FusionAuth takes the authentication implementation off your hands and is highly flexible when integrating across multiple applications. Migration from other systems is easy as well when using the API or Lambdas.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the search and sorting of users between tenants, applications and roles needs more attention. It is difficult to isolate users by tenant or application in the UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FusionAuth provides a central application for our team to handle authentication and user management. We do not need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to providing authentication for a new service.
The easiest Auth/IdP system to deploy
What do you like best about the product?
I'm a technical consultant helping clients implement IAM solutions, and, having found FusionAuth, it's now my product of choice for complex integrations. I've worked with quite a few alternatives, and I must complement the team at FusionAuth for a very well-thought-out application with the clearest UI I've found so far. This covers virtually every integration you'll come across, but, when things get tricky, like dealing with legacy systems, poorly-complying OAuth or SAML implementations, or multiple client dependencies, FusionAuth gives us a comprehensive set of APIs and related tools to help out. I've also really appreciated the diagnostic facilities that come with the FusionAuth; these help reveal what's going on under the bonnet when things don't work the first time! The features are well explained in FusionAuth documentation, which is probably the best I've come across in the IAM area. When I was starting out with the product and having various questions, I was impressed with the quality of the forum and the fact that it was well supported by members of the FusionAuth tech team.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not a lot that I can complain about. One thing I'd say is that because FusionAuth is a relatively new contender in the IAM areana, there are fewer helpful tips on the Internet than for rival products. However, in the time since I've been using FusionAuth, I've noticed that changing, I guess others are now catching on about the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I often work on complex integrations, frequently on government and local authority jobs, where legacy systems abound. FusionAuth is the most flexible CIAM I've found so far, which combines a clear UI and a comprehensive API, giving me the "glueware" I need to link systems together. I also like the fact that I can download a free version and run it on-prem, typically in a VM that I can snapshot whilst I'm building out a complex solution. That, together with the authentication flow debugging that FusionAuth provides, has really helped accelerate my learning in the IAM field.
Best Developer Friendly Auth Solution
What do you like best about the product?
You can tell it was created with developers in mind because the documentation is top notch and the examples are well written and clear. Also, the support is above and beyond expectation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really serious comes to mind. Overall it is a really great product with great support. I'd love to see even more content on their YouTube channel maybe because I find it really helpful, but I'm sure they are working on that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had multiple projects in development. Some I needed to have auth in an on-premise situation and others could be on cloud. I love that FusionAuth had the flexibility to provide both and for a much cheaper cost than others. I couldn't afford the other options and would have ended up trying to write it myself which would have been a nightmare.
Easy to integrate, and full-featured
What do you like best about the product?
FusionAuth has a simple to use API, and terrific API docs. We get everything we need including registering users, login both natively and through social platforms, issuing and managing access tokens, performing service-to-service auth for our back end microservices, and managing user roles. The APIs are lightning fast, and there are also APIs for bulk user operations (such as import from our previous, homegrown auth solution). They easily handle our scale of 100,000+ users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, really. There are some features we're not ready to take advantage of yet, such as SAML integrations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use FusionAuth as the identity provider for our SaaS application and client APIs, and we rely on FusionAuth for account registration, login/logout, access token refreshes, and activating/deactivating accounts. Internally, we use FusionAuth for backend service-to-service authentication and authorization, and for managing user roles in internal applications. We also use FusionAuth to allow for external identity providers, like logging in with Google. FusionAuth automatically handles account creation for us in this case. We plan on adding support for multi-factor. All of this is beneficial because our engineers can focus on our core product features, and not spend their time on solving problems and maintaining solutions that are necessary, but not core to our business.
