Well Suited
  1. B2C mobile and web apps with a high number of users.
  2. Cheaper and cost-effective.
  3. If the other pieces of the infra are already using AWS services like Lambda, S3, Pinpoint, etc.
Not Suited For:
  1. Advanced use-cases (Biometrics based authentication) Email, and other MFA channels.
  2. For any use-cases needing SCIM.
  3. Customized flows of SSO, and MFA will need a layer on Lambda and other AWS services.

Dashlane Password Manager works really well for situations where we need to share access to client portals or government filing sites, since multiple people can log in without ever seeing the actual password and we can cut off access right away when it’s no longer needed. It is also great for onboarding and offboarding since new hires or interns can get the logins they need quickly and we don’t have to pass around spreadsheets. Another strong use case is meeting compliance expectations because it shows clients we are serious about security and password hygiene. Where it’s less useful is in environments that already use single sign-on since that already centralizes access and makes Dashlane Password Manager feel redundant. It can also be a little frustrating if you rely heavily on mobile since the autofill doesn’t always work smoothly across different apps.

  • Easy to store user profile data directly in Cognito rather than having to build additional services/endpoints
  • Easy integration with AWS Lambda to extend and add sophistication to the service

Cons
  • SCIM implementation is not present.
  • B2B SaaS use-cases are very hard to configure. More suitable or B2C use-cases.
  • Needs more recipes, plugins, SDK's.
  • 2FA with Email as an OTP channel is not supported.
  • 2 FA using biometrics is not available; can be customised using lambda.

  • Initial setup was a little difficult.
  • User SSO invite and sign on would not work at first but this seems to have been improved/fixed.
  • The extension on websites doesn't work sometimes and will need to be refreshed if you open a new tab but have already logged in before.

It has served us very well until now and at the pricepoint it doesn't make us second guess our current relationship.

Usability
All the features AWS Cognito offers gives the user the options they need without making it too complicated. Your customers will be happy. On the administration site usability is also great. After a small learning curve, you can setup Cognito for your usage

Dashlane Password Manager is great for the price. Some feature sets of competitors are lacking, but I'm happy with what we get for the spend. We are a small enough company that I can walk people through the steps, and it isn't something that comes up enough to complain about. Password generation, storage and use are all great.

Support Rating
AWS Support overall is poor. Your main resources are trainings and the docs, and the docs can be very confusing. Using Cognito well involves having a developer learn it deeply and help support your team in understanding it. That said, Cognito's competitors also have dismal support and even worse documentation, so while this isn't a strength for Cognito it may still be the frontrunner here.

We've had no issues with Dashlane. I can't speak to their customer service because I have not personally needed to contact them. I guess that speaks about their product if we've not had any issues to reach out about. Great for supporting data/information on multiple platforms that are shared among team members.

Alternatives Considered
They are ideal tools to create a secure and unique login experience for our applications. Thanks to its API authorization, Amazon Cognito ensures connections to applications that are secure.It is easy to use and provides easy access to files and applications that you need to complete your goal.

I use Proton Pass in my personal life as part of the Proton suite of products, and it's a fantastic, lightweight, and robust service. I personally prefer supporting a solid, privacy, freedom focused company with my personal money, but as far as comparing goes, I'd say Dashlane wins the intuitive interface battle with ProtonPass (not that it's terrible), but ProtonPass wins for listening to customers and developing a dedicated desktop application. As for the comparison with LastPass, I think LastPass might nudge out Dashlane for the intuitive score, but they are practically both at the same level in every way. I'd be happy to use either one

Return on Investment
  • Amazon Cognito has had a positive impact on our business by allowing us to develop services that require user sign-up and sign-in more rapidly. Not only do we not need to build or maintain these features, but Cognito's implementation is also better than what we would be justified in building ourselves.
  • Amazon Cognito makes user management easy. This reduces the time we have to spend supporting users. Non-technical product managers can even use the AWS Console to manage users without requiring support from developers.
  • Amazon Cognito is likely more secure than what would be built in-house; a portion of our attack surface is now managed by Amazon.
