"Effortlessly Secure and Easy to Implement CIAM"
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

I mostly like the ease of use and the support from the implementation team. It's great that we can reach out through Slack. FusionAuth is reliable, stable, and we've not experienced any problems so far. The initial setup was really easy, with many ways of importing our existing user base with barely any impact.

"Easy Setup, Predictable Pricing, Needs UI Improvement"
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

I find FusionAuth very easy to set up and use, with pretty understandable API features. The interface is clean and easy to use, which is good. The pricing is pretty predictable, especially when compared to other services. It's good for developers like me who own a website, thanks to its clean APIs and good API documentation, which is easy to understand and take action on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

The token lifetimes don't really last long, which is a bit frustrating. Also, when I first logged into FusionAuth, I didn't really understand what it was meant to help with. The interface, while functional, isn't user-friendly or particularly pretty. It wasn't easy to understand at first, and I had to do my own research to figure it out. This part of the experience could definitely be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unmatched Ease and Flexibility for Identity Management"
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

We use FusionAuth as our primary identity system for user authentication and facilitating SSO with larger clients. I love its full-featured identity management with added security, like MFA. It's very easy to implement, offering almost unlimited flexibility for any desired solution. The onboard and pilot team is fantastic, providing invaluable insights on advanced features as we grow. There's no easier identity solution to set up and deploy, and I wouldn't change a thing as we've had zero issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

Nothing. I would not change a thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FusionAuth: Essential for Security Research with Easy Setup"
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

I like that FusionAuth helped me in getting some details about my past accounts, like where the account was created and by which server and browser. It gives me partial access to important information, which is crucial for my research on vulnerability and identity theft. Also, the initial setup of FusionAuth was quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

I don't like how FusionAuth is available for everyone, which means while I'm using it for my research, others can use it against me to get my information reversed or changed. It would be better if there was a way to enhance privacy, like adding face or retina authentication so that no one can misuse it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FusionAuth is My Favorite Authentication Provider for My Apps."
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

FusionAuth suited my needs as the authentication system for a number of web applications I use and I particularly like the ease with which I can control different methods of logging in - email/password, social logins, and even magic links. The self-hosted option is particularly appealing because the APIs are simple, and control over the data is guaranteed. I have the freedom of self-hosting without the worry of being stuck in a rigid setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

The admin UI could use some work. It is quite frustrating going through many menus for what should be simple adjustments. It takes a lot longer than it should to set some advanced features like a tenant-specific role or a webhook. Other useful features are paid and can be expensive for smaller projects.

"Top-Notch Identity Provider, Top-Notch Support, Minimal Cost"
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

Have been using FusionAuth as our primary identity provider for a few years now. It's been fantastic. Their documentation is professionally written and well organized - that along with their "Ask AI" feature has made it possible to accomplish some sophisticated configurations to meet our customer needs without having to reach out needlessly for support. Speaking of support... they are very friendly and quick to respond to messages. Various installation methods (managed or self-hosted) and different plan tiers make it quite flexible for various product needs. The starter plan is very generous and compared to other offerings on the market the cost is minimal. Overall I'm very pleased with selecting FusionAuth as our identity provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

Minor gripe, but I would find it helpful to be able to generate more advanced reports on users, usage, sessions, etc from the dashboard directly. Some of the reports I've had to generate in the past were easier to generate by using their API, then writing a quick script to roll-up results. Otherwise, not much to "dislike" about the service - it's frankly been one of the easiest to incorporate into our stack. Very pleased with our decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and Reliable Authentication Solution"
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

I like FusionAuth because it is flexible and developer-friendly, allowing full control over authentication and user data. It saves me time, makes integration smooth, and lets me customize authentication the way my application needs without fighting the system. It's also reliable and handles login, registration, and roles seamlessly. Plus, the initial setup was relatively straightforward with clear documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

Some parts of the documentation and advanced configuration can feel overwhelming at first, and simplifying the onboarding experience would make it even better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Integration and Self-Hosting Flexibility with FusionAuth"
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

I use FusionAuth for authentication in my react app, and it has been incredibly beneficial. I don't need to create my own authentication system from scratch, which saves me a lot of time and effort. It handles security issues effectively, so I don't have to worry about the complexities and potential vulnerabilities of rolling my own authentication system. I also love that I can add multiple providers simultaneously without dealing with each one separately, which greatly streamlines integration and management. FusionAuth offers good pricing, which is an attractive aspect for me. Its easy integration process ensures that I can incorporate it into my projects without unnecessary hassle. One of the standout features is that FusionAuth can be self-hosted, which is a significant advantage compared to other alternative solutions, allowing for more control over the deployment. Additionally, the initial setup was straightforward due to the very clear documentation, and the community support has been quite helpful, providing valuable assistance when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

I don't like the lack of clear pricing with FusionAuth. It's not easy to tell at a glance, and I wish this could be made clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined User Management with a Learning Curve"
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

I really appreciate FusionAuth's ease and modern UI, which make managing user roles and organizations straightforward and prevent these tasks from becoming a side project. The administration UI is particularly usable, providing an efficient way to manage these elements. I value the built-in multi-tenant support, single sign-on (SSO), and permission features that eliminate the need for hand-coding authentication logic, significantly simplifying the management process. Moreover, FusionAuth has saved me the effort of developing additional services to manage roles and authorization, which is a huge time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

Some parts of FusionAuth feel a bit too configurable, which can be overwhelming. Although the flexibility is generally positive, it results in having to click through multiple menus for a single tweak that ideally should be centralized. This adds unnecessary complexity and detracts from an otherwise efficient user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective SSO Solution with Competitive Pricing"
What do you like best about FusionAuth?

I appreciate the simplicity of FusionAuth, which makes it easier to use. The great support provided is definitely a plus, and I find the pricing to be appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FusionAuth?

I heard a developer say that he wishes that the redirect to FusionAuth took more query parameters so we could pass more context along. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
