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.
