IBM Cloud App ID is our first supplier when it comes to app authentication. IBM is a very known provider and we didn't have to research its trustworthiness or hesitate [on] our purchase decision. Even though it can be a bit expensive, efficiency is our top priority.

IBM Cloud App IDServiceControl
Likelihood to Recommend
Whenever you need to provide Security Provider functionality for a web based application it is well suited. You can also integrate with other directory services (e.g. SAML, Facebook, Google), but not so easily with other Auth0 based services. The customization of the login page is very intuitive, but does not allow much customisation. using the integrated Cloud Directory, you do not need to integrate with existing security providers and you can build up your own user base - including Multi-Factor Authentication settings and password policies.

Both the software have different use cases, like IBM Cloud App ID, which will be more suitable for internal websites and apps or specific event website authentications, Auth0 can be suitable for consumer websites, e-commerce sites, where social media login is preferred more by the users. Both have their own capabilities so can be chosen according to their needs.
