DataStax was faced with a critical situation when their identity provider shut down without notice, leaving them with little time to find a new solution. They needed to migrate quickly without disrupting their customers and the DataStax Academy, but were limited by the traditional "good, fast or affordable" trade-off. Fortunately, they discovered FusionAuth, which provided a complete solution with all the features they required, efficient migration tools, and significant cost savings. With FusionAuth, DataStax was able to save over $150,000 in developer resources and three months of time, and achieved a 59% performance improvement from day one.

Gluu and FusionAuth are two powerful identity management solutions designed to simplify the process of building an in-house system, eliminating costly development and maintenance time. Both platforms provide standard features of a modern identity management platform, as well as unique features tailored for modern applications and businesses. They share commonalities such as single-tenant and on-premises capabilities, support for common authentication standards like OAuth and OpenID Connect, and offer free options to control costs. However, Gluu has a more complex installation process requiring deeper knowledge of server management, while FusionAuth offers an easy-to-install solution with a setup wizard. Additionally, FusionAuth provides more control over user experience through customizable email templates, triggers, and localization, as well as advanced features like event-based emails and real-time analytics.

Summer is here and so is FusionAuth 1.7, which introduces sophisticated Consent Management and Family Relationship Models to simplify obtaining and tracking individual and parental consent choices. The new consent APIs allow applications to easily manage and track user consent for various purposes, including parental permission, marketing emails, website tracking, and more. These features help applications comply with regulations such as the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the European Union's GDPR requirements. Additionally, FusionAuth 1.7 includes several updates and fixes, including improved export of audit logs and login records, better support for third-party two-factor authentication devices, and more. The platform is constantly being tested and updated to ensure it provides a flexible and powerful identity and access management solution, and has recently received awards and recognition from the identity and access management industry.
