One Click sign-in through all your apps.

What do you like best about the product?
Okta is an exceptionally adaptable platform for managing several aspects of personality to SaaS and on-premises applications. Okta is an excessively straightforward authentication arrangement from an end client point of view. You get the chance to single sign on to the vast majority of the apps you use, and it automatically stores your credentials and logs you on once you are authenticated through their portal. We have integrated Okta with a large portion of our apps. With MFA enabled, you have to download Okta app on your telephone and accept the push to login. SaaS Model, easy to arrangement and supports the most utilized applications from an access management and catalog integration viewpoint. The UI and capabilities are light years ahead of the opposition. I have never had any personal time, login, or 2FA issues with Okta. Our clients save minutes every day, not, at this point drearily composing and re-composing their catalog password.
What do you dislike about the product?
You have to understand Okta documentation appropriately to integrate the appropriate security implementation. There is a colossal learning bend for this software. On the off chance, that any of your password escaped synchronize with Okta it will be somewhat hard to understand how to update the password on the off chance that you are not technically knowledgeable. Beneficiary client support is quite bad. I deal with a ton of merchants and this is probably the least favorite to have to call.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta is a great tool for Single Sign On. The single tick choice has made it easy to stay signed in to all necessary programs. While it is easy to administer, this comes at the expense of some customizability. Backing is moderate, and costs are high.

Secure set up

  • September 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The process is user friendly. The set up is not very complex and adjustable based on what system you are setting up SSO for. Additionally it allows non SSO site passwords to be saved and offers users complex passwords as well. Offer Mobile SSO which is nice for management use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not every system is linked to use them. Would like to see it pushed out to a wider spectrum of business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SSO log in securely to sites that are of business need. It helps with faster/safer log in for users.


    Non-Profit Organization Management

Feature-rich IAM solution

  • September 08, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Okta is a highly flexible platform for managing several aspects of identity to SaaS and on-premises applications. What I like best is the ability to combine these features (SSO, MFA, sign-on rules, custom attributes, provisioning, directory services) into a complete identity management solution. While we have not yet explored using Okta as our central directory service, it also has that capability.

Sign-on rules are customizable, allowing you to, say, enforce MFA for employees in certain groups, or connecting from certain (i.e. remote) locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost. While Okta delivers great value and releases enhancements frequently, the service is costly (particularly for cost-conscious organizations, such as not-for-profit organizations).

And while the support experience is generally pretty good, they are sometimes hesitant to troubleshoot SAML integrations too deeply, citing the fact that SAML sign-on success is more dependent upon the target service's use of the SAML assertion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identity security is the biggest issue we're solving with Okta. In addition to security features such as single sign-on and multifactor authentication, we're realizing that Okta is also a convenient centralized portal to several integrated SaaS applications in our environment.

We are also protecting administrative logins and applications.

Very good authentication solution, but sometimes onerous

  • July 30, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Okta is a super straightforward authentication solution from an end user perspective. I get to single sign on to most of the apps I use, and it automatically stores my credentials and logs me on once I am authenticated through their portal. It has a helpful Chrome extension that lets me quickly navigate to different cloud based apps that my company uses, and automatically prompts me to save apps to my dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if it were more customizable for the end user. For example, it makes me re authenticate every 2 hours, even when I've been logged into the same computer that whole time. I would prefer to be able to change the authentication window myself, though I imagine this would probably create something of a security risk. It would also be great to be able to customize the order with which apps appear in the Chrome extension - as of right now the first five apps are ones I rarely use, and new ones I have added appear towards the bottom.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem is obviously authentication - I am now able to log in to most of the apps that my company uses through the same sign on portal, which is both more efficient and more secure. It also helps me keep track of some of the apps that my company uses - I can open my Chrome extension if I can't remember the name of our business travel app, for example.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Negotiate hard - it can be expensive. Also worth having your IT team consult with end users on default settings so that end users feel like they have had some input into usage.

What do you like best about the product?
Being able to have a simple interface for all my applications makes onbording a simple experience for new employees.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't used other software, so I don't have much of a comparison.

Onboarding problems. Before, we had to send many guides on all of the different applications and accounts you had to create. With Okta, it's simplified.
