About FusionAuth

FusionAuth is a customer identity and access management (CIAM) software designed to help developers authenticate, authorize and manage user access. The platform enables administrators to assign roles to team members and secure logins via single sign-on for various applications across the web, mobile and desktop.

Managers can automatically detect anomalous check-ins, block user accounts post attacks and access applications via federated logins. FusionAuth allows supervisors to protect and control data in accordance with general data protection regulation (GDPR) and health insurance portability and accountability act (HIPAA) compliance protocols. Additionally, operators can create multi-step registration forms with customizable form fields to collect applicants’ data.

FusionAuth offers an application programming interface (API), which lets businesses integrate the system with several third-party applications including Apache Kafka, CleanSpeak and Twilio. Pricing is based on monthly subscriptions and support is extended via forum, knowledge base, video tutorials, FAQs, email and an online contact form.

An easy to use and yet powerful multi-tenant self hosted authentication service

Our overall experience with FusionAuth has been truly positive. FusionAuth had everything we were looking for from an authentication service and therefor it helped us save countless work hours implementing our own solution.

Pros:

Integrating with our software was relatively simple thanks to the versatility offered by FusionAuth's multi-tenant feature. And thanks to the great online community we were able to overcome almost every issue we encountered since day one.

Cons:

It may be because of our use case being so different from what FusionAuth is normally used but we would love if its performance was improved specially the memory usage.

Reasons for choosing FusionAuth

FusionAuth's multi-tenant feature.

Pros:

Ease of implementation Security Stability Well documented Robust API Passwordless login/magic link MFA Responsive and helpful support/dev team

Cons:

UI is not immediate intuitive in some cases, like roles and permissions, but docs are great Would love a feature similar to Okta's SWA for applications that still don't have SAML or OAuth

Reasons for choosing FusionAuth

Money, time, security, self hosted, well documented

Reasons for switching to FusionAuth

We needed a lot more features and can't shovel out enterprise dollars right now for a small environment undergoing a lot of dev work, and FA is perfect

You guys make my life easier

I really like the UI (except for Freemarker templating) and the Documentation is just awesome. Being part of the Slack-Channel is great and people there (especially robotdan) are really responsive.

Functionality

Pros:

- Documentation. - Easy configuration trough a well-designed UI. - Adding Social Logins is a no-brainer. - It even suits the needs of very small projects. - Docker-Configration is easy and update procedure painless - Its free without the support. Still i get support on the slack-channel and therefore writing bug-reports and feature-requests is something i can give back.

Cons:

Templating (both UI and Emails) is a pain. But it's not an easy task to make it better. At least it works most of the time and is better than other solutions I know.

Reasons for choosing FusionAuth

Because i had the feeling that it is the bes tool i can use for free for my startup.

Reasons for switching to FusionAuth

Because I had very painful experiences with Keycloak on a project with my former employer. They didn't even accept bugfixe-PRs for severe bugs referring to stupid merge and test guidlines. The FA documentation and overall website experience made me choose this product. It just gives a good gut-feeling and getting startet is easy!

Functionality

Pros:

The biggest impact for me has been an immediate understanding of the way the system works, and indeed auth software should work. All the examples are clear, concise and above all actually work! The support via their slack channel is just awesome, they've never let me down. Great product, great company, and above all amazing people.

Cons:

Nothing springs to mind, but the distinction between tenant settings and user settings can be a little confusing at first.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review Stefan. Just to be clear, while FusionAuth has open sourced many things (docs, example apps, client sdks, supporting libraries) the core is not open source. The community edition is forever free as in beer but not free as in speech. This is something we continue to have internal discussions about, but as of right now, we're not planning to open source the core application.

good keycloak alternativ

So far I'm fine :) I did not use FusionAuth on production yet, but going to investigate this opportunity. I believe it may be great piece of software to bootstrap your new services in the internet and be concentrated on the business logic, at the same time being confident that you use top auth technologies.

Functionality

Pros:

I like that FusionAuth popped up on the market, because until today there was only one major player - keycloak. Documentation is complete and good, I have experience contacting the developers, they answer quickly and passionately. Fact that FusionAuth is provided as SaaS from IBM also says something to me. Interface is quite fresh, I like this also. API is consistent.

Cons:

- To be honest, I'm not a fan that this is another Java enterprise application; - I know that keycloak is backed by Apache and is open source, so I believe that it'll continue to exist. I don't know the backers of FusionAuth so far and it's plans for the future.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review. Regarding your concerns, there's no reason why you couldn't run FusionAuth until you had a migration plan. We also offer source code escrow to customers who want one.

Pros:

* authorization features * permissions management * almost ready-to-use helm chart at the time we tried * json kickstart is perfect * no need for elasticsearch

Cons:

* unable to export the fusionauth config to json so that I can use it as a kickstart * difficult to deploy on k8s if we really need to expose it (we did not succeed in that; however it's no problem for us, because we don't expose fusionauth any more)

Reasons for choosing FusionAuth

* fusionauth has more features than authn (for instance, fusionauth manages permissions) * fusionauth is easy to deploy

Reasons for switching to FusionAuth

It was a disaster to setup.

Great hosted IAM solution

I was able to get FusionAuth up and running immediately and without problems for testing. Production deployment with AWS ECS, RDS, ES, and ELB was very quick too. I haven't used it at scale yet, but I'm fairly confident it will handle scale given its architecture.

Interface could be more intuitive and being Java/Tomcat-based makes it a little bloated
