Auth Solutions on the Market
· 2 min read
In summary...
- If I am running a new startup and do not want to build my own auth systems, go with auth0.
- If I am running a company that needs integrations of enterprise services, then go with onelogin for their compliance.
- Google Firebase is awful and not easy to migrate in the future. Google would better consider acquiring auth0.
