We have to setup a SSO system for our customer. Multiple applications needs to login, PHP applications, mobile and SPA applications.
AWS Cognito is very quick and easy to set up in a basic configuration, allowing you to have a fast and reliable SSO system. with Hosted Login Page option a lot of features, like reset password, registration and email sending, form checks are fully working with just a few clicks.
A better error description when something goes wrong during setup. Better documentation with some use cases will be very appreciated.

If you evaluate Cognito against other identity management solutions in the industry for the price point and the features provided, Cognito is a winner for normal run of the mill authentication and authorization needs of you web and mobile apps. It has one of the lowest costs per monthly active users and the feature set is fairly good.
The features lack when compared to an Okta or similar commercial offerings. This includes non availability of IdP initiated SAML, multi valued attributes, SAML encryption etc. However, this is understandable as the price point is much lower.
