"It's similar to having all applications in one."
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy that Okta comes with all the necessary essentials. Because you can access all of these features simply logging into a single application, Okta can support many applications and function as a one-stop shop. Because you have to successfully complete authentication and verification before you can use your account, Okta also makes sure that it is safe. Additionally, it's really simple to use and browse.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a single thing that I dislike about okta workforce identity....
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You may save a ton of time by using our new system, which easily gathers all applications in one location. Eliminate the need to search across multiple platforms.
Efficient Identity Management Solution: Okta Workforce Identity Review
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Okta Workforce Identity’s seamless integration capabilities with our existing systems, providing robust and secure identity management across our organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
While generally satisfied, I find that Okta Workforce Identity’s user interface could benefit from some simplification to enhance user experience, especially for less tech-savvy users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta Workforce Identity solves our organization’s authentication and access management challenges through seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) integration. This improves user productivity by reducing login complexities and enhances security by enforcing centralized access controls across our diverse range of applications and platforms.
Reliable, Enterprise SSO and Identity Management
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and usability of the platform makes it easy for both users and admins.
What do you dislike about the product?
It amazes me that some of the platforms haven't created point and click applications. There is always a way to make it work with the protocols, but other platforms need to get on board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Seamless access management to multiple SaaS platforms.
Simplifies user lifecycle management and provides SSO
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The tool provides a single place of contact for managing users. We only need to manage users in Okta Workforce Identity, eliminating the need to duplicate efforts across different systems. For example, if a user needs to be decommissioned, we don't have to go through all the systems and cloud services; we delete the user in one place. This process is automated with our HR system for both organizations, simplifying user lifecycle management.
The main features we find most valuable are the single sign-on and the OTP authentication. The ability to connect via a PC or a mobile phone makes the process seamless.
The MFA feature enhances regular authentication through the user portal and utilizes one-time passwords generated from QR codes on mobile devices.
What needs improvement?
We faced some challenges during the Okta Identity Workforce deployment. Integrating with AWS and other cloud services posed some limitations with federated options. For instance, features like automatic user addition from AWS to the tool were missing, requiring manual intervention. The API is limited compared to the manual configuration possible through the UI.
I think Okta Workforce Identity could improve by making its API more robust, ensuring that all UI capabilities are exposed in the API. This is particularly important for integrating with other applications, such as AWS and other cloud providers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for six years.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing model is fine for general service usage. However, the charges for API features and API tokens can be quite high.
What other advice do I have?
I would give Okta Workforce Identity a solid eight out of ten. There's always room for improvement, but overall, the tool performs well and meets our needs. The solution was my first experience with such products. Previously, I had used internal tools like Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Active Directory services within Azure, which were excellent for corporate environments. However, I find Okta Workforce Identity more suitable for startups.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I dislike about Okta, best tools out there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to onboard, provision users and offboard users.
Integrates multiple applications with its single sign-on capabilities
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution in my company for its single sign-on capabilities and for secure authentication.
What is most valuable?
The feature I like the most above the product stems from the fact that the tool allows for integrations. One can integrate multiple applications with the product's single sign-on capabilities, meaning with a single username and password, you can access multiple applications. If you have 50 applications, then you need not provide a y different username and password to log individually into each application. With the single sign-on capabilities, you can log in to multiple applications using Okta Workforce Identity. Okta Workforce Identity can be used to deal with configurations and several integrations. One can access multiple applications without having to provide multiple usernames and passwords. You don't need to remember multiple usernames and passwords when you have Okta Workforce Identity. Okta Workforce Identity also provides security to its users by providing MFA features. There are also a lot of workflows available in the product, which can be beneficial for users.
What needs improvement?
The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Okta Workforce Identity for a few months. I have just started to work with the product, and so I don't have much exposure to it.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I feel it is one of the top most products in the market. There are very few products in the market, like the ones from Azure which are similar to Okta, which offers some of the best solutions in the market.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. For each and every feature that our company uses in the product, there is a need to make payment to Okta, making the solution costly.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is good.
How was the initial setup?
I have not done the product's initial setup phase.
What was our ROI?
It is always beneficial to use the product since, with the single sign-on feature, users can also provide and get access via mobile app. If you are not able to access the product, you can do certain configurations with the help of automation. Everything is possible in the product with the help of its automation tools and monitoring policies.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product's price is high. For each feature, a certain payment is required.
What other advice do I have?
The product helps improve our company's employee onboarding process because the solution has integrations with multiple applications.
The single sign on capabilities of the product is one of the best, especially in terms of its ability related to configurations.
The product has an in-built MFA feature. When someone tries to sign in, the product asks for the authentication ID.
I recommend the product to others. It is one of the best products in the market. There are some people who use SailPoint instead of Okta Workforce Identity.
I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Best IAM on the market
What do you like best about the product?
It abliity to connect to all the SaaS applications we use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the search feature would use fuzzy search
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to provision an deprovision SaaS accounts.
OKTA IDP review of the platofrm
What do you like best about the product?
The platform. The team has been extremely happy with the prodcut so far and end user have expressed the same opinion
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing currently I have ran into that could be a dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The move from on-prem solution to a cloud solution was the primary factor. OKTA also has been a product that I have worked with before and understand its capibailites
Improves security and productivity and enables integration with customers' domains quickly
What is our primary use case?
We used the solution for domain control and password management. In my previous company, they had 40 different products. We used Okta for single sign-on management.
What is most valuable?
AuthO is a highly customizable access management tool for applications. When I want to integrate an application and enable SSO, it provides a single-click operation. It is very easy. Okta enables us to integrate with customers' domains quickly. It's one of the biggest advantages. The development team can easily pull out APIs and quickly code for identity management.
It also provides multifactor authentication features. The tool helps improve our security and productivity. We can easily pull up the APIs and integrate them quickly. We would have had to build our own solution if not for Okta. Okta has saved us tons of money by removing the pain of building a tool. It is easy to use.
What needs improvement?
We had some implementation issues.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for about three years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
The support was very good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
It is a SaaS product. It took us less than a month to implement the solution in our organization. However, it took a little longer for us to deploy the tool for our customers because we had to do it product by product. We deployed it for our customers in three to four months.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We paid a license fee for our own use. For the customers’ use cases, we had an OEM model and paid a small percentage of the fee. We had a very nice Okta team. The overall cost was not bad.
What other advice do I have?
I am working with Keeper in my current organization. The business case is different. I'm not looking at integrating with customer's domains or products. I use Keeper primarily for personal use cases. Okta is a very good product. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
Very useful to have, not completely SSO
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to sign into various software
All software to be found in one platform
Fingerprint use is great
All software to be found in one platform
Fingerprint use is great
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the SSO doesn't always work, could be the setup of the various applications that are in use, but multiple logins are required in a single session sometimes. Still easier than remembering a password for every application
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Access to various applications. Security.
