And Google is trying to push their identity products, but they are very far from being mature enough for enterprise needs.
I generally suspect folks making comments like this are really not familiar with the products and their uses.

Most of the folks we see are moving from Firebase rather than Google Identity Platform. Wait, I'm confused. Are they the same thing? https://cloud.google.com/identity-platform/docs/sign-in-user... uses them interchangeably.
Ah, another search turns up https://cloud.google.com/identity-platform/docs/product-comp...
So Firebase auth is built on Google Identity Platform.
I did consult other groups using Google Identity Platform at our company and some things came up:
* SMS / email templates not customizable
* Undocumented user auth rate limiting with hacky workarounds
Otherwise our devs have been quite happy with it. I've primarily settled on it because it already has approval at our org, it's simple, and fairly well documented - especially compared to something like Cognito.> I've primarily settled on it because it already has approval at our org, it's simple, and fairly well documented
Those are great reasons to select a product. If it works for you, it works for you!

I was half expecting a new CIAM solution from AWS at Re:Invent. I don't understand why they don't invest more in Cognito. Such an own-goal.
