Tailored to the lifecycle management needs of banks
The customer finds value in adopting a platform from Jira, particularly for the ease it brings to their processes, both for on-premises operations and batch processing. Their objective is to create a new customized server specifically designed for generating certificates. This server is intended for the generation of certificates, emphasizing that it is not meant for free domain replacement. The platform of choice for this purpose is Digital One, a product that offers full customization and aligns well with the customer's preference for tailored solutions. The process of certificate issuance from Microsoft's AB involves renewal or replacement every five years. However, an issue arises in that this particular certificate requires renewal annually instead of the standard five-year cycle. The challenge is attributed to personnel changes, where an administrator responsible for the process resigns within the five-year period. To address this, we seek an automated solution that operates seamlessly with a single sign-on approach, eliminating the need for user IDs or passwords. The automation involves approval and subsequent deployment without complexities. Being a partner of DigiSet, we rely on the implementer for support in service deployment, installation, and resolution of any issues that may arise.

Automated lifecycle management has cut onboarding times and now drives secure, clean access
Although I am a fan of Okta Platform overall, there are areas where it could improve security outcomes and reduce admin friction. My top improvement areas include the system log and analytics upgrade, which are great for point troubleshooting, but trending and root cause analysis across large tenants still require exporting to SIEM. Verbose queries and long-range retention costs can add up. Additionally, while certificate rotations are better than most, the process is still manual for busy portfolios, especially concerning multi-SP SAML certificate rotations and app metadata drift. Two more buckets of potential improvements for Okta Platform involve user experience and security. There is the issue of push fatigue and prompt sprawl, where users receive multiple prompts across different apps and sessions. I arrived at the rating of eight because the core controls are strong and reliable, but a few operational UX and UI gaps prevent it from being rated higher. The reasons for not giving it a nine or ten include ongoing issues concerning safety and change safety, the complexity of group rules and mappings, and the lack of robustness in policy management. Additionally, there remains a need for more manual involvement than necessary, especially for large portfolios and dual certificate rotation, along with proactive SP data metadata validation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I emphasize the importance of automation in Wi-Fi management, particularly in tasks such as certificate renewal. The requirement extends to the ability to generate new certificates from a local server within the data center. There is a need to establish a new server for local certificate issuance and highlights the desire for automation in the deployment process. The emphasis lies in leveraging automated solutions to streamline these operations effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the communication based on PKI certificates."
"The public key infrastructure certificates issued by the PKI servers helped me set up good client-server authentic communications."
"Okta Platform is the gold standard when it comes to identity providers and the single sign-on experience."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Implementing Okta has reduced a lot of IT work; I would say it saves hours and hours of work when it comes to single sign-on and the same for user onboarding, offboarding, and group settings."
"Okta Platform has impacted my organization positively by providing convenience, first of all, because there are no more different passwords for many different apps, security has also improved because we eliminate a very big weak point that passwords represent, and we maintain control to ensure we only give access to the necessary apps to the necessary people."
"As an integrator, I find Okta Platform user-friendly with a good number of connectors, making it easy to integrate with applications, and it is easy for SSO implementation and MFA implementation."
"Our customers use it for multi-factor authentication, lifecycle, and workflow."
"Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"With the help of Okta and its outstanding user friendly UI, integrating more than 300 applications went fairly easily."

"From an automation perspective, PKI is a bit of a debatable topic and can be improved as time demands."
"When you are doing basic things, it is straightforward, but if you are going to be doing workflows, other things, or recon and trust, then there is effort involved, and that is where it gets convoluted."
"The product is expensive compared to other tools."
"The pricing could be improved."
"For enterprises which really prefer to have their own identity within their own perimeter, Okta Platform might not be the solution they might look for."
"The only improvement point I would suggest for Okta Platform is that it needs to redesign the feature request system because there are many important features that are not taken into consideration."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
"There is no proper documentation on integrating test cases with Okta, and this issue is troubling whenever I try to implement it."
"Users sometimes have difficulty getting verification codes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution won't cost much, as this would be free with the licensing from Microsoft."
"I would rate it seven for the price."
"The solution’s pricing needs to be reasonable. You are dealing with a lot of components and the pricing is component-based."
"The solution's pricing model could be better for SMBs."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is competitively priced. We pay annually for the use of the solution."
"License is around US$20,000 annually."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"The price of this product could be lower."
"Though I don't know about the licensing model of the product, I wouldn't be surprised if Okta offers a per user license subscription model."
"Okta's pricing is right where it needs to be and right in the middle of the market."
