The modern API for
auth & user identity
WorkOS is a modern API platform that empowers any developer to quickly build and ship complex enterprise features: User Management, Single Sign-On (SAML), Directory Sync (SCIM), and Admin Portal (enterprise onboarding).
WorkOS accelerates SaaS companies in their journey to become Enterprise Ready, so their app has all the features to be adopted ‘wall-to-wall’ in a large organization.
Our customers win. Their customers win.

What happens if you don’t become enterprise-ready?

With our in-house solution we had to spend 2-4 hours provisioning each SSO connection. I wanted to find a solution that would allow us to focus on building core-products.
If you work with another provider, you probably won’t get the same level of support that WorkOS provides. We'd get immediate responses to technical questions we posted in Slack.
The decision to use WorkOS was straightforward. We saw good feedback from existing customers and reviewing the documentation made us confident that our needs would be addressed.
SSO is a crucial part of our Enterprise Pro plan, and with WorkOS we could roll it out in less than a week. Docs are comprehensive, the Admin Portal has made customer onboarding a breeze, and the level of support we received directly in Slack has been phenomenal.
What sold WorkOS was the Admin Portal. Our UI gives customers a link; they go to the Admin Portal, complete onboarding steps at their leisure, and never have to talk to us, making the onboarding process a breeze.
SCIM is a game-changer for our customers, saving them a lot of time and reducing friction. It's crucial because, without SCIM, customers would likely get frustrated and might even switch to another provider with a smoother experience.
The onboarding process has been excellent. I love sending IT admins the link to set it up themselves and getting an email notification when it's completed. It's so efficient not having to get into meetings or go back and forth via email with IT personnel.
I think we could have done even more business if we had partnered with WorkOS earlier, it's been incredibly well received.
Integrating was straightforward, pleasant, and fun. The team answered my questions quickly, and went above and beyond to help when I ran into issues.
WorkOS simplified the complexity of implementing single sign-on (SSO) with multiple identity providers.

With WorkOS we got exactly what we needed, and the integration process was straightforward.
When I asked the team, how was the experience with WorkOS? They were just like, this is incredible.
We did consider open source, but WorkOS provided a far superior developer experience.
With Audit Logs, we were able to launch the storage, querying, and export capabilities we needed into production in just a matter of days.
We viewed WorkOS’ connections-based pricing as a more viable option aligned with our projected growth. The Admin Portal has also been a critical feature allowing us to save engineering time and provide a more polished enterprise experience.
WorkOS was super easy to self serve and get up and running. It provided us super easy-to-implement must-have functionality out of the box.
