Disclaimer: I work for a Clerk competitor, FusionAuth.

Can you share your evaluation process? I'm always curious how folks evaluate auth providers.

Did you do a spike? Full POC across a couple of solutions? Rely on a recommendation from a friend? Run through a quickstart and decide it worked and you had bigger problems to solve? Something else?

Nice website! I like your docs too. Small tip though, the couple obviously AI-written articles (ostensibly for SEO purposes) in your footer are a little of a code smell.

Also design wise, the main logo item (vortex looking thingy) is a tad bit complex, maybe think about a redesign focused on making it more simple/recognizable. The rotating dashes on the landing page hero are a good motif though, so I'd lean into that.

Also noticed that on this page: https://fusionauth.io/tech-papers/winter-2026-g2-fusionauth-... the form under "To get this tech paper complete the form below." doesn't load on Firefox with Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled. Disabling it causes the form to load though.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll pass it on!
