What our customers say
“Moving to Descope has been a game-changer for our engineering and product teams. The building-block nature of their platform helps us go live and iterate quickly on identity journeys, helping us provide frictionless and omnichannel user experiences while saving developer time.”
Arnie Katz, Chief Product and Technology Officer
Read case study
“Descope has been a great partner to our IAM team. We appreciate the simplicity of their product, the speed of innovation, and their active and responsive support. Whenever we launch a new application or user portal for external stakeholders, Descope is now the default auth provider in our minds.”
Naveen Zutshi, CIO
Read case study
“We were skeptical about Descope Flows at first. Many dev-focused tools can limit velocity for more experienced teams. But when we saw how fast it can move, without any unnecessary hand-holding, we were fully bought in.”
Zachary Lin, Senior Software Developer
Read case study
“Whether it’s easily adopting passwordless methods like One Tap, adding risk-based MFA, or unifying identity flows across web and mobile apps, Descope provides workflow-based building blocks to help us achieve these goals much faster than before.”
Nitin Shingate, CTO
Read case study
“Partnering with Descope has helped Navan enhance both our user onboarding experience and security posture. The flexible nature of Descope Flows enables us to adapt better to changing business or security needs without burdening our developers.”
Ofer Ben-David, EVP Engineering
Read case study
“Descope satisfied our requirement for sophisticated multi-tenancy with support for complex, per-tenant configurations. The ability to define roles and permissions for each tenant, while delegating role creation to tenant admins, proved invaluable.”
Bryan Wise, CIO
Read case study
"We love Descope SSO flows from a CX standpoint. A customer we onboarded just told us it was the fastest implementation ever. It usually takes weeks but we were done in 15 minutes - small talk included!"
David Li, Senior Software Engineer
Read case study
“Visualizing the user journey as a workflow enables us to audit and modify the registration and authentication journey without making significant code changes.”
Arkadiy Goykhberg, CISO
Read case study
"We needed a better provider who would actually pay attention to the platform and not just muscle people around. With the flexibility of the social auth, passkeys, everything Descope has—it was an easy drop-in for our authentication flow. ”
Brian Powell, VP of Engineering
Read case study
“Our team really appreciates the empathetic and ever-present support. Whether it’s regular check-ins, guidance for unique use cases, or fast response and deployment for feature requests, we can see that Descope has our back.”
