Auth0 vs. Jamf Connect

Great for user authentication and access priviledge management. We are using it for both our commercial and financial clients and Auth0 meets all the regulations and due diligence required to close deals with these enterprise customers. Given their tiered pricing structure, we don't see a scenario where Auth0 would not be appropriate for the solution it provides.

Jamf Connect is a nice and customizable tool for password change or password sync and account creation during an enrollment process. The configuration is not very easy to understand at the start. Especially if an iDP comes into play and you don't have an idea with Azure or similar services. With Jamf Connect ad bind is dead on macs.

• RBAC is simple, straight forward and easy to manage
• Integrations of Social Login are simple to configure and the Auth0 documentation shows step by step how to configure it
• Rules/Hooks provide customization to the Auth0 flow, making it a great solution to define how we allow our users to login into our applications

Incentivized

• password sync works very well
• regular updates to Jamf Connect with improvements
• small and simple tool
• Account creation is now on next level after we don't need AD Bind

• Price point for ALL features can get a bit pricey. But they have a startup plan which helps big time. Developer plans start at $23/mo and do not include all features.
• Actions, rules, hooks, and email customization are great features, but the UI is a bit tough sometimes, not very responsive to screen size and code editors are cut off in a difficult place to maneuver.

• the Jamf configuration app for the config profiles looks not really Jamf-like
• Why are under "Jamf Connect Deployment and Update Settings" in Jamf Pro all possible configuration profiles listed? We have some and I don't think there had to list every!?
• how the Jamf Connect updates work under "Jamf Connect Deployment and Update Settings" is very unclear. i.e. for troubleshooting

For our purposes, Auth0 is still one of the best valued RBAC platforms in the market.

- integration and ease of implementation - great over all product support specially for passkey biometric authentication -Auth0 is very reliable to use their API integration for security
verification. It provides best API to integrate our website and application
with Single Sign In option and two step verification option. Sales and technical teams are always there to provide support

There isn't a clear method to get a hold of support when trouble arises if you're on their standard plan. You can file a support ticket and they generally are responsive. I've often been able to find similar questions to the questions I've had when it comes to support in their ticket history, however, some have been closed without a satisfactory conclusion for the original poster.

We went with Auth0 over Okta due to price concerns and the overall simplicity of Auth0. We chose Auth0 over Amazon Cognito because Cognito has very poor documentation and client library support. Auth0 offers a service that hits the sweet spot for organizations with small development teams and limited finances.

• SAML SSO is a breeze - this alone saves a lot of dev/support hours.
• We are not worried by hackers and chasing security protocols and standards, I guess about half a day job of a developer.
• Telling customers we can connect them with what ever they have whether its social / SAML / OIDC put us in flexible position

Incentivized

• we need more time to understand how Jamf Connect and the configuration "really" works
