As CTO of OpusFlow, I'm extremely pleased with the 'just work' concept delivered via Clerk."

After many attempts at various authentication methods for our projects – from custom-made to Auth0 and others – OpusFlow soon realized the complexity that is often associated with these approaches. To simplify this process, we conducted extensive research until Clerk.com, a developer-friendly authentication platform, was discovered. After conducting a Proof of Concept test to ascertain its performance and reliability, Clerk became our obvious choice for internal projects. We quickly made the switch! Following the successful use of these projects, we decided to take it one step further and implemented Clerk into our largest enterprise SaaS ERP system yet.

After using Clerk for an extended period, with numerous groups that consisted of anywhere from four to ten developers at a time, we are thrilled about the possibilities in store. It is already sufficient enough for our needs as it stands now and its support system provided by Clerk.com is remarkable – it's far more than mere assistance. The shared eagerness between both parties to continue progressing their platform further has been amazing!
