		Related Products Auth0 Auth0 takes a modern approach to Identity, providing secure access to any application, for any user. Safeguarding billions of login transactions each month, Auth0 delivers convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation. Auth0 is part of Okta, The World’s Identity Company™. Auth0 lets you quickly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications, with new Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) that goes beyond role-based access control. Authenticate users across all applications with a customized, secure, and standards-based single login. Universal Login connects users to a central authorization server. Credentials aren’t transferred across sources, which boosts security and protects against phishing and credential stuffing attacks. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (like the browser) be used by native applications for authentication flows. Auth0’s Universal Login achieves this while enabling SSO. 1,069 Ratings Visit Website FusionAuth FusionAuth is a modern, developer-focused identity and access management platform built to give you full control over your authentication stack.

About ZTXGate is an identity-centric Zero Trust Network Access platform for securing access to private applications and infrastructure.

ZTXGate can be operated by the customer or an MSP and deployed on-premises, in public cloud infrastructure, across hybrid environments, or in fully air-gapped networks. Core access operation does not require a mandatory CoreZT-hosted cloud control plane. The platform supports OIDC and SCIM identity integration, device-posture signals from Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne and Jamf, SIEM integration, clientless HTTP/HTTPS access, and phishing-resistant biometric authentication through integrated ZTXBAS.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Definitely made me feel like my information was secure and that no one could sign into my stuff. It is easy to use and quick to confirm any time you log into an account of yours. I like the ability to have true Multi Factor Authentication using this software, which isn’t possible using text or email. Duo was a relatively pain free implementation that quickly enhanced our ability to authenticate and access resources remotely. Duo is a fantastic little program that keeps everything safe. I love that you don't have to take a phone call or type in a code to log in. You just click a button and you're done. We use Duo on just about everything in our organization and so far we haven't had any problems. Love the option of adding multiple phone numbers, easy to use and easy to understand, and easy to adapt to whatever situation you might have. Cons Even though I do like my accounts being secure at times I do feel annoyed constantly have to have two (Duo) logins. It can be challenging when you change phones to use Duo. There was some enhancements to the app through out the time that we have had Duo and it has introduced some minor annoyances into the overall workflow of using it. But generally nothing too disastrous. You have to have a smart phone to do this effectively or you have to go to a phone call and code punching. My only other complaint is that that accept and deny buttons are in the opposite of what you would naturally expect them to be. So I constantly deny my access all the time. The only feature that was not my favorite was the Frequently asked questions, or the help section, it doesn't show many options.
