Very good and flexible user authentication service

Easy integration of multiple auth methods. It's very easy for developers who don't have too much experience in this field as well!

Pros

The only thing is that I would like to have more information about the security of the cluster, because I use it mostly for the security of the cluster. The security of the cluster, I use it because of the risks that I

Pros
  • It's free
Cons
  • It's not very user friendly, and it's a little bit difficult to manage the cluster
