Solid Authentication Solution for Modern Apps
What do you like best about the product?
Descope offers exceptional ease of use with reliable authentication solutions that integrate seamlessly into our applications. The platform provides smooth integrations, excellent documentation, and a well-designed interface that makes implementation straightforward for developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
While mostly satisfactory, there's occasional complexity during initial setup and configuration. Better pre-built templates for common use cases would streamline the onboarding process further.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Descope effectively solves our authentication and access management challenges by providing a comprehensive, modern solution. This has eliminated the complexity of managing multiple authentication providers, reduced security vulnerabilities, and streamlined our developer workflows significantly.
A Secure Authentication that’s fast to set up and Keeps users happy.
What do you like best about the product?
A Secure Authentication that’s fast to set up and Keeps users happy.I’m genuinely impressed by how Descope’s no-code flow editor has streamlined our authentication process. As a lead developer for our telehealth startup, setting up secure email OTPs and Google SSO for our web and mobile apps was so straightforward I had it running in just a couple of days, something that would have dragged on for weeks with other tools. The pre-built widgets fit perfectly with our Angular frontend, and the detailed error logs helped us spot a session timeout issue during our last stress test. Honestly, it has made our small team look like authentication pros without needing a cybersecurity degree.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to complain about, but integrating with our existing user database took some trial and error, mainly because our legacy table had inconsistent email formats that tripped up the initial sync. The docs are great for standard setups, but more step-by-step guides for quirky edge cases like ours would’ve saved us a headache. Also, the pricing is fair, but scaling to higher user volumes felt a bit costly for our startup budget.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Descope has been a lifesaver for managing secure user authentication while keeping our platform compliant with HIPAA regulations. We used to cobble together open-source authentication libraries that were a nightmare to maintain and left us paranoid about security gaps. Descope’s plug and play solution handles everything, passwordless logins, MFA, audit trails, so we are not constantly patching holes. Since rolling it out, our user onboarding completion rate is up 29%, and login related support tickets are down nearly half because the process is so smooth. It has also freed our dev team to focus on core features like video consults, boosting user retention by 15% this year. Descope has let us deliver a polished, secure experience without sinking our resources into authentication grunt work.
Great product! Easy to setup & easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
We transitioned to Descope from in-house authentication and that was one of our best decisions! No more bugs with authentication and role management, each new auth flow takes minutes to make using their flow builder. Also their slack community is great! They answer every question (even the dumb ones 😅)
What do you dislike about the product?
1 thing that was missing for me was the session control, we needed this for our per user business model so users won't use 1 paid seat for their whole team, but we transition to a different business model so it irrelevant.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to use and powerful authentication!
Plug and play authentication and authorization
What do you like best about the product?
That I have a vendor I can trust to take care everything related to authentication and authorization for in the product I’m building. There’s no need to invent the wheel in this areas and develop it by yourself. With Descope I do it easily while I know I'm leveraging the best practices in this field
What do you dislike about the product?
If I have to find something it would be the auth flows which might be a little bit complex
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have out of the box authentication and authorization solution without the need of developing anything of your own.
Great experience with Descope
What do you like best about the product?
I most liked their intuitive UI, which translates complex auth flows into visual components. This allowed us to get setup very quickly. Their customer support was fast and well informed, helping us choose the plan that best fitted our use-case. The flexibity of their tools was also very important and integrated with our other existing auth tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor issue,. but would be great to have a way to directly manage my plan and usage directly on the Descope console, currently I can't easily get info on my plan except by contacting support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Descope help our product integrate with Microsoft as an identity provider. Descope handle the multi-tenant token validationa and other Microsoft requirement and provided us with a simple interface to integrate with our existing auth tools.
Simple, fast, reliable Auth!
What do you like best about the product?
Loved the entire experience with descope. It was super easy to get started, they have support for every type of auth you might require, and SDKs to use this authentication in the backend as well. But the best thing about Descope is their customer support - they are incredibly helpful and responsive, and even offered to get on Zoom calls to help me debug some of my issues (and I'm on their free tier!)
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard for me to find things I dislike about Descope, even if I did, it would just be nit picking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling all auth and user identities, descope is our source of truth for all things users/ tenant related.
Solid solution for user authentication
What do you like best about the product?
Once we integrated Descope, setting up user authentication flows is really easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the documentation could provide more thorough coverage of use cases beyond the basic ones.
Also, the experience of styling the login components could be better.

Easy to use, hassle-free auth integration experience
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use as a developer, supports many authentication and authorization types, customizable, has a very clear guide for each IdP on how to integrate with it - very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit harder to integrate with older frameworks - like Laravel for us, but still worked well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Until using Descope, we only offered authentication by standalone email and password. As we grew and started addressing enterprise-level customers, we needed to offer SSO as an authentication method but didn't have the scale to implement it on our own, and we didn't want to re-invent the wheel.
