Mostly a user, but also support an Application on Okta - great from both perspectives.
What do you like best about the product?
Okta is really easy to use from the user perspective - just click the app icon and then get launched into your application. It also support 2FA which is an absolute must these days for security. I also manage an application that is on Okta (Salesforce) which integrates with Okta very easily.
We also implemented Salesforce/Okta at my last job and it was very easy to get going- less than 1 day.

What do you dislike about the product?
From the admin side, Okta doesn't support more complex Salesforce licensing permissions without more customization. Our company hasn't been able to figure this out yet, so we create the users from Okta and assign the initial profile, but not the more detailed "Groups" and "Permission" sets".
From the user perspective, I don't have any complaints.
One negative issue I experienced a couple months ago was that Okta went down for a couple hours - users could not access applications (even though the applications were running just fine).
Note that my review is focused on Employee SSO. Customer SSO is quite different.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have users only utilize a single username/password across all application. Increase security and control over who has access to various applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Okta is one of the biggest SSO providers in the market, you will definitely want to consider them.
Okta helps me keep all my passwords in one place, without looking at them
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I don't have to enter in my passwords over and over again. once I enter them in and they are in Okta, I only have one password to remember. I can pretty much forget all of my passwords and Okta will just remember them and put them in the appropriate fields for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it pops up every time I put a password in. If there was a way for me not to have to click anything and for it to just save it automatically with no pop-ups, that would be awesome! Everything else is pretty great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Where I work, there are a lot of different systems and sometimes it can take forever to be able to go from platform to platform because of all of the login gates. With Okta, I don't really have to worry about logging in, which cuts down on the time I take switching between platforms throughout my workflow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it, it will save you a lot of time logging into things!
Okta Review
What do you like best about the product?
Single Sign on is seamless. I can also see all my work apps at one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The process to add accounts can be improved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single sign on saves time if I forget a password and I do not have to reset it everytime I use a app or stayed logged in
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A lot of companies use different cloud companies like Zendesk, Google apps ADP etc. Okta provides a wonderful platform to combine the sign on process for all these login and is really useful.
The best password helper ever
What do you like best about the product?
Love how it remembers the passwords for all the sites i use and helps me update it when i knew password is needed for a site
What do you dislike about the product?
Don't like how i have to sign in again once i'm logged in with the same password on my computer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease the stress of remembering different passwords
This user is very happy with Okta.
What do you like best about the product?
Okta is simple. I can access my apps wherever I go, from any computer, without having to worry about relying on PW's saved in a browser - which I do not trust.
What do you dislike about the product?
It competes with the browsers' saves PW seemingly endlessly. Not a flaw of Okta - I just wish they could build in some sort of integration where you can control the settings of your browser via the Okta dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security. Increased productivity.
Simple to use SSO
What do you like best about the product?
Okta is an easy tool to explain to new users to get up and running in their various tools right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Okta plugin being required for some sites and not for others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preventing users from having to sign in and out of the same tools multiple times all day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
LastPass Teams may fulfill similar requirements
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, and their mobile app is pretty good.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard area to see all of your connected apps is a little wonky. I would like a bit more customization options available. If it was more customization I could see it being used as a good homepage for work
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single Sign On for multiple applications is super easy to use
Easy SSO For All Applications, Mobile or Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
One of the must frustrating experiences of being on a corporate network is having to use multiple passwords between apps. Okta makes it easy & secure to log into many different apps. Authentication is handled two-form by a single password and text/numeric verification. Everything launches easy from commonly used systems like WebEx & Workday (your apps may vary!) to the least common like getting into expenses.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that sticks out to me. Rendering actually works well on mobile and even in low bandwidth situations. Naturally Okta will log you out if you are switching networks (wireless, vpn, etc), however, this is part of security folks!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease + security of access to applications which otherwise would have to be behind different passwords. Okta lives in the web and undoubtedly provides a flexible platform for many organizations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider cross compatibility with Okta. OAUTH 2.0, versatility in managing from the web, java/JS/node.js/PHP support all look promising to people who need to customize the feel of the system.
Excellent Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use, just give our employees the SSO URL and we're done. Fast and easy to deploy and assign new apps and practically every app we utilize in our organization is in Okta with a simple and straight forward guide. If a device gets lost/stolen it's very easy to remove the user from apps or even disable their access all together in case of termination. Their support is superb, call in and you are directed to an engineer within minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had one hiccup during deployment of a non-standard application that had some issues integrating with Okta, in the end it wasn't Okta's fault but that of the developer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a single easy to manage login for our business applications. Now users no longer have to manage/balance multiple username/passwords for different sites and applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a product that just "works" our of the box, Okta is it.
Okta for IAM
What do you like best about the product?
Okta has very good SSO functionality. The OAN has lot of applications which are Okta verified.
Configuring SSO is very simple.
Configuring SSO is very simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a great Identity management solution lacks certifications and attestations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Okta for both Identity and access management in our organization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I strongly recommend this product. It is very cost effective and useful.
