According to my experience there is nothing to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i like the way we can customise it according to our ease and requirements. with the single sign in only we can get the acces of all the applications running on the keyclaok we need not to login for each application individually.the apis are opensource and freely available with its user interface to navigate through all the roles, groups and users. i am currently using it in my application as a tool for giving the screen level access to the users based on their attributes and roles assigned to them. it handles everything perfectly and never goes down.its secure and provides token based authentication and authorisation to the applicantion with which it has integrated.i am currently using it with spring boot which is basically the java based framework and it works smoothly and perfectl and l like to use it instead of java authentication and authorisation techniques becaue its simple and easy to use without any complexity.

Keycloak is open-source authentication and IAM platform which integrates SSO & LDAP for our AWS environment. It has superb feature provisions such as user management, multi-layered authentication protocols, and fine-grained authorization. It incorporates authentication to our EKS clusters and provides security services with less effort. Also, it supports our organization's protocol standards like OpenID connect, SAML 2.0, and OAuth, which are mostly preferred by our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keycloak provides the capabilities to include access to only the entry point and effectively control who is able to access the services. In our AWS accounts, few have privileges to add access on their own manually or remove other users' access by mistake, but after setting up Keycloak, these difficulties were prevented. Overall, I'm satisfied with the endpoint access protection and compliance solutions offered to our AWS Infrastructure by Keycloak. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keycloak is open source and offers support plans for enterprise customers and provides the features needed for my configuration of LDAP, SAML, OIDC, and OAuth workflow and user setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multitenancy and High-Availability configuration and monitoring could be better. Making the session replication for the High-Availability mode would make it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can united the all services and applications with the same authentication way using keycloack.

Also key cloak give you many implemented option to handle access and roles .

The UI is very helpful and usable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some old versions I faced issues that the configuration is reset automatically, after I update it this issue is solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the realm configuration and the way in which we can achieve a multi-tenant setup. I tried having a local setup of keycloak on my machine and it was pretty easy. You can have a local docker container running and can easily play with the app. Another feature that I felt was pretty cool is , it can be plugged and played with existing systems, as its integration is seamless.

I dislike the documentation and the examples that are provided in them. The documentation deals only with a single happy path considering very specific usecases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requires running keycloak in a separate server for getting support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool has a clean and easy to access admin console. Good resources and clear documentation help in using the tool quickly and to its best. Ability to write REST APIs to manage the user groups and permissions help in managing better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike overall. Had some trouble finding things in documentation to help write some APIs for the tool. But after some longer search, I could find some help either from official documentation or through other resources like stackoverflow. So maybe that's something you could improve on in having better structured documentation for Java APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
