Provides strong authentication feature, which requires users to enter a one-time password (OTP)
The main issue I've noticed pertains to setting up the desktop client on virtual machines in Azure, GCP, or AWS, specifically for Entrust Identity Enterprise intended for on-premises use. It works for on-premises, but I'm not sure if it's fully supported in cloud environments. If support were added, it would function perfectly with on-premises configurations. So, it functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP.

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

"Entrust Identity Enterprise is a very mature product, it is very reliable and there are many use cases for which you can use the solution."
"I am impressed with Entrust because they are one of the most advanced identity access management companies. Their portfolio of products is well aligned with the CISA zero trust framework. If you compare the features of Entrust products with the CISA pillars of zero trust, you'll see that they're perfectly matched with CISA requirements."
"This solution is flexible and easy to use for our clients, and we use it with different kinds of applications and integrate it with different processes."
"Entrust is an enterprise account, and they have a support system. Their training is also top-notch, and they are willing to share their knowledge with their partners."
"It is a scalable solution. You can add users and credentials without problems."
"The integration matrix of the solution is huge compared to others."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"The best feature is the speed and execution of Okta Workforce Identity; the moment you click on single sign-on, you immediately get the notification on your mobile phone, then you do the authentication and within a second you get authenticated."
"The feature that is most valuable to me is the automated user provisioning that we set up using Okta as a major part of that process."
"Customer service is excellent; we don't have to worry when we have an issue, they are always on top of it."
"The stability is fantastic and has never been down."
"Okta is a very compliant solution, and it is easy to deploy."

Cons

"I would like to improve the tool's implementation and pricing."
"The product is very costly compared to other alternative solutions."
"It functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP."
"It would be better if the on-prem Entrust Identity Enterprise solution could have the same features as the cloud version because the latter is easier to use."
"We are introducing new processes and are migrating to a new version. Once we explore new functionalities, we'll be able to assess what could be improved."
"The integration process takes a bit longer than we would want it to."
"All of the governance functionality and privileged account management could be improved."
"Okta Platform does not recognize when I have already verified myself once on my HubSpot login across multiple tabs."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."
"A couple of improvements with the lifecycle management that will help companies that don't have an HRIS system to help manage contractors and contingent workers would be to add ways to disable their accounts once a certain time point is designated."
"I have worked on Okta Platform's IGA features, and they were not great or up to the mark."
"Another area for improvement is pricing; it becomes complex and expensive when you add features."
"We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription could be yearly or monthly, depending upon your choice."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"It's worth the money."
"Okta Customer Identity is not an expensive solution."
"Okta's pricing is right where it needs to be and right in the middle of the market."
"This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."
"The solution’s pricing needs to be reasonable. You are dealing with a lot of components and the pricing is component-based."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is reasonable."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is competitively priced. We pay annually for the use of the solution."
"It could be a bit too pricey for small companies. Okta Workforce Identity can add a lot of benefits, but smaller companies may not have a lot of applications that need to be managed by Okta Workforce Identity. In larger organizations, there are more departments, applications, and users to manage. Okta Workforce Identity adds a bit more value to those bigger organizations. In addition to standard licensing fees, there are also additional costs for things"
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
