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.

Single secure login has simplified daily access and strengthened multi-factor protection
Okta Platform offers several valuable features. The first one is Single Sign-On, which allows users to log in once and gain access to multiple applications without needing to enter credentials repeatedly. I believe that is one of the best features. The second one is multi-factor authentication (MFA). It adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through multiple methods such as a password and a mobile verification code. I use it mostly to manage secure access to enterprise applications and cloud services. Other features include user lifecycle management and integration with cloud applications. I myself have relied mostly on multi-factor authentication (MFA) because I tend to log in every day and whenever I am working or take a break, I use this multi-factor authentication to sign in. Okta Platform simplifies identity management, improves security, and allows employees to access multiple applications through a single secure login. I believe this is a very good feature. Okta Platform has improved our organization through user authentication with features like Single Sign-On and multi-factor authentication. I believe the features it provides simplify identity management, improve security, and fulfill the need for secure and centralized identity and access management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration matrix of the solution is huge compared to others."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This solution is flexible and easy to use for our clients. We use it with different kinds of applications and integrate it with different processes."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution. You can add users and credentials without problems."
"Okta Platform has positively impacted our organization because our staff can connect to all tools and applications we use from a single location, which has saved us time."
"Okta's great for their federation capabilities where it lets the IT team enable business with anyone using common federation features across SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, and internal applications."
"The tool provides a single place of contact for managing users. We only need to manage users in Okta Workforce Identity, eliminating the need to duplicate efforts across different systems. For example, if a user needs to be decommissioned, we don't have to go through all the systems and cloud services; we delete the user in one place. This process is automated with our HR system for both organizations, simplifying user lifecycle management."
"I can say it is more secure, more user-friendly, and integration with applications is easier."
"The Single Sign-On feature is fantastic for different customers and advanced server access is really good for access to the servers."
"Our clients are happy because prior to implementation, they had a very distributed architecture, and Okta has allowed them to consolidate with respect to identity management, which increases their operational efficiency."
"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."
"Ease of use and the ability to trust the product are what I value most."
 

Cons

"The product is very costly compared to other alternative solutions."
"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."
"I would like to improve the tool's implementation and pricing."
"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."
"All of the governance functionality and privileged account management could be improved."
"The training is too costly."
"I would not say Okta Platform is a cost-effective solution. It is an enterprise-grade solution, so it is comparatively on the higher side in terms of cost."
"This solution would be improved by adding biometrics features."
"They also have single sign-on (SSO). When we bought Okta Workforce Identity a year and a half ago, I was also looking at SSO, but not much documentation was available for SSO. The documentation for SSO should be a little more robust for somebody who is implementing it for the first time."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"The stability could be better."
"The lifecycle management part can be improved. It should also have identity governance and the ability to choose a specific factor authentication at the application level. Its licensing and pricing can also be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"It's worth the money."
"The subscription could be yearly or monthly, depending upon your choice."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is competitively priced. We pay annually for the use of the solution."
"The solution is really expensive."
"The product has a user-based license model."
"The solution's pricing model could be better for SMBs."
"Okta's pricing is right where it needs to be and right in the middle of the market."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is reasonable."
