Okta is a great hub for our business!
What do you like best about the product?
Okta is simple to understand and use. The site is not overwhelming visually. I use Okta for the MySystems, so everything I need is right in the same place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not yet found anything that I dislike. It serves its purpose. I don't use it every day, so I am sure there would be more room for improvement if I were on it all the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta makes it so all the apps I need to use for work are in one, easy-to-access place. I can move them around to put the ones I use the most at the top and move the ones I don't use as often to the bottom. I can even add my own personal web links for shortcuts on the same Okta dashboard.
One of the best complete SSO solution for organizations
What do you like best about the product?
Here are some things which I like about Okta -
- I don't have to set different passwords for different applications fo the same organization.
- If I login once, I don't need to enter the password again for the next 24 hours. I just login at the start of the day and I am good to go for the rest for the day.
- With the help of the homepage, I can see all the listed apps that I have access to. I don't need to save any URLs.
- It gives an option in my phone to approve login via fingerprint so I dont need to enter PIN or anything, a fingerprint is sufficient.
- Almost no downtime. In my experience with Okta for 2 years and 5 months, I never experienced a down time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Here are some things which I do not like about Okta -
- No option to approve sign-in in phone via front camera. (Not every android phone has a fingerprint)
- The process of adding a new phone to approve/reject sign in is very painful. I had to contact my technical support for the same. (I was locked out during the weekend when I switched to a new phone).
- Dark mode is not there for the website. Hope it gets added soon.
- A frequently visited option is missing. I would like all the most used apps at the top.
- A most recently visited option is also missing. I would like all the most used apps at the top. Or a combination of frquently visited + recently visited.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a software engineer by profession and an employee.
From an employee side of things, I do see myself benefited from this app in terms of not remembering multiple passwords, signing in only once a day, see all applications at a single place, option to approve/reject sign ins.
'From a administrator point of view, I can imagine that for employers this app is solving their security and authentication needs. Making sure that only auhorised people are allowed to access company software resources.

Okta Verify serves as a decent authenticator to get the job done
What do you like best about the product?
Okta is pretty straightforward and easy to use for identity verification purposes. It is extremely easy to add new accounts, leveraging Apple ID and thumbprints to allow access into accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unlike other verification apps, Okta Verify leverages a loading bar to indicate when a new code would be generated. This can be confusing for users who are unfamiliar with the app, particularly given the slight lag after the bar indicates completion. I find that the design is not as intuitive as other verification apps but not a massive barrier to usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary use case is identity management for single-sign-on. This allows users around the company to access sensitive platforms and information, providing security and alleviating any privacy concerns for the company.
