Every time I've had a client ask to use one of these services it has ended up being more work and worse UX, with more bugs on the edge cases, than just doing it yourself.
I've implemented Gigya, Janrain, Auth0, Firebase and Amazon Cognito.
The only time I've seen them make sense is internal tools. The company I work at has a policy where any enterprise tool must auth with Okta which means logging into everything is a piece of cake for employees.
