I'm not criticizing the people. Do you not think it's legitimate criticism that using a niche 3rd party login system can be bad precisely because they're still ironing out the kinks?

Keep in mind the alternative is that you are ironing out the kinks of a homegrown login system.

The big thing in my mind is the ability to migrate away from a SaaS.

You mean the alternative is better, right? Your outage is within your control, not in the hands of people with much less skin in the game.

As always, it depends. A quality SaaS provider is going to have more expertise in their niche. They'll have more advanced functionality that can be turned on quickly (SSO for that big new partner).

> Your outage is within your control

This was the standard argument against cloud infrastructure and the industry has continued to shift in that direction anyway.
