“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

Databricks

“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

Owens and Minor

“Working with Descope was incredibly easy. We didn’t have to throw away our old system to get all the benefits of passwordless or SSO. Now, our team has new tools and Descope lets us keep the environment we’re comfortable with.”

Ashish Sarkar, CIO

You.com

"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

Branch Insurance

“Visualizing the user journey as a workflow enables us to audit and modify the registration and authentication journey without making significant code changes.”

"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

“Flows helped us make API calls to the backend to check if a tenant had SSO enabled without relying solely on email domains. This gave our members more flexibility while maintaining security, something that would have been difficult with our previous system.”

Chad Dulake, Senior Software Engineer

“Descope met our needs and use case perfectly. The product is easy to deploy, we appreciate the SDK-level customization, and their team is super responsive to any enhancement suggestions.”

VP of Engineering, Media & Entertainment

“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.”
