What do you like best about Keycloak?

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.

What do you dislike about Keycloak?

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.
