Comprehensive identity and access management solution – FusionAuth.
I've been using FusionAuth for nearly four years, and it stands out as a state-of-the-art solution. It seamlessly covers IAM/CIAM, offering various features that align perfectly with our requirements. I also appreciate the team's proactive approach in providing education and addressing priority concerns whenever we reach out.
We never had a downtime or an impact for login functions after using FusionAuth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Changing the front-end / UI reuqires a special skillsets or work with a few vendors. This could have been simplified.

FusionAuth is a solid authentication provider with fair pricing when compared to other providers. It is fully feature, offering authentication methods ranging from classic user/password to magic links and social IDPs. It is easy to use, easy to integrate and implement thanks to the technical resources they provide, both in the form of documentation and subject matter experts. As an Enterprise client, we have access to a Slack channel allowing us to get quick and responsive support from the FusionAuth team. FusionAuth Cloud is a robust solution that can be used to authenticate hundreds of thousands of users on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Terraform provider to manage the FusionAuth deployment configuration sometime lags behind software releases leading to some issues when environments are strictly managed via Infrastructure as Code practices. Some customization and configuration options can only be defined at the Tenant level which can lead to some pain points when it comes to meeting some product or business requirements on an application-per-application basis. The FusionAuth Cloud versions lacks some monitoring options like Prometheus that are available when self-hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to set up, and get running. We have a simple use case that most other products over-engineered.
Still very good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing negative comes to mind. The setup was great, and support was very helpful getting us integrated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Logically it makes sense. They also provide SDKs for frameworks like Angular. Their blog posts, AI Bot are all useful resources for figuring out OAuth and integrating their products. And, they continually improve these resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Angular SDK appears to prevent using FusionAuth in a way that seems that is supported by other OAuth compliant servers; e.g. OAuth. Specifically, for additional security, it seems as if the Angular SDK doesn't allow you to have the Authentication server (self-hosted or FusionAuth Cloud) deployed to the cloud and yet use it for local development. It seems like this should be allowed because of other OAuth servers support it and there are other mechanisms to prevent the CORS issues other than the headers the Angular SDK uses.

Flexibility and a lot of options to build customised solutions.
Especially the ability to manage users across different countries with clear boundaries using tenants.
Customisations ranging from themes, lamdas to sms templates.
Events, logs and auditing it just covers all your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
UI customisations need improvements. Request logs needs to be improved a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Has the features we need, easy to use libraries, team responds to questions/suggestions in a timely manner. Support for SCIM, SAML. Easy to integrate into our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Need more information in some Lambdas (JWT Populate)
Not easy to follow what the future feature roadmap is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
FusionAuth provides a Terraform provider which allows DevOps to support it along side all of our IaC. Their APIs also allow easy integration with scripts where necessary for importing, exporting, and managing all Dev, QA, and Production environments. Our Developers are enthusiastic about the level of documentation and the ease of integration and implementation. We've had excellent support from FusionAuth when needed.

It would be helpful if FusionAuth supported vanity domains for each of our environments instead of only for each FusionAuth server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are lots of IDPs out there. This one is focused for developers. APIs are at the forefront of their product. Easy to embed in your product. Also, the pricing is tailored to developers versus the big guys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not as well known as the larger players such as Entra or Okta. Their cloud model is not a multi-tenant model. Seems like they host individual systems on vms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The community editon helped us to easily implement a powerful AuthX for our services. It also provides an API which makes integration very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing model imposes some ties between the hosting plans and the license plans, for example you cannot use a community or a starter license on a high availability hosting, it has to be a more expensive one. So if a set of basic features suffice for your needs but you want high availability the only option is to self host. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Once you have done the initial configuration in your code base (setting the callback routes, handling the grant in your controller etc.) , everything else can be configured in the FusionAuth Dashboard. For example, adding new IdPs, themeing, hiding/showing fields etc. can all be done in a intuitive UI without needing to redploy your application.
- The FusionAuth Dashboard itself is (to me) much more straightforward and locigical compared with Auth0, which I have used in the past. They have some great features in there like "Lambdas" which trigger when certain actions happen, making it easy to hook into the signin flow dependant on which IdP you are using. It is very customizable, but also has some great default out-of-box settings.
- Pretty active developer support through a maintained GitHub Issues page, which feels like they are working alongside developers to build a product that their users want.
- All the support and advice during the kick-off meetings was very helpful. Sometimes those meetings can be sales-heavy, but we had a lot of engineers on the call offering great insights and advice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Whilst the documentation is pretty good, getting started is a little overwheleming, mainly because of all the different ways that you can configure FusionAuth (self-install or cloud-based). A more streamlined "Getting Started" guide for SaaS based products using cloud-based instances would help to get up-to-speed quicker. I feel like the documentation is all there, but it is sometimes hard to find what you need due to the way it is organized.
- I love that you can really customize the theme of all the pages and emails. However the theme template engine that they use is a little bit cumbersome. Once you get the hang of it, it does the job fine, but there is a bit of trial-and-error required to get started with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It provided a good replacement for Auth0 / Okta for our system as we have been priced out of their "base market". It respects all of the same industry standards and complies with all necessary pieces but provides a bit more configuration capabilties and their docs are more focused on the development community as opposed to market "fluff". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very minor in terms of "dislike" but it requires a lot more configuration to "get going" as opposed to the higher priced options. A higher level executive / manager probably would be put off, but teams implementing loved the options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
