Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Provides user signup, login, and role-based authorization flows. Supports social logins, SSO, SAML, multi-tenancy & passwordless login methods. SDKs for most languages & tech stacks, with REST APIs for everything else. Can integrate with API gateways like Kong and AWS API Gateway. Can be self-hosted or cloud hosted.

Tradeoffs

WebAuthn and passkeys are only available in more expensive plans. Default UI looks a bit dated, so you will want to customize it.
