We use Microsoft Azure AD B2C to manage users. AD itself is a nice (for enterprise software), is used all over the place and is pretty stable.

B2C on the other hand is a different story. Every few months we have to roll out a new tenant in our system. Tenants are identified by B2C "applications". Every single time, the new application doesn't work. Every single time the fix involves editing the JSON spec, changing something random (like a "true" to a "false"), saving, and changing it right back again.

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence... we're planning a migration to AWS.

Also, try Googling for documentation related to "Microsoft Azure AD B2C". Almost every shred of internet wisdom is related to AD and not B2C. Even with Microsoft's own documentation you sometimes follow a link from a B2C API reference and find yourself in AD-only land and it isn't obvious. This makes the task of researching features and debugging infuriating.

B2C is the worst product we have ever worked with. Outages on constant basis, an extremely complex XML configuration, translation bugs, unsupported features which are only available in AD but not AD B2C (e.g. M2M), and really bad documentation. We basically had to dive in their github examples and issue tracker to make it work. Do yourself a favor and stay away from it.

Maybe Bing search would be better for MS docs? (ducks)

I got a full-blown belly laugh out of this, thank you.
