Facilitates improvement through feedback collection, quizzes, and event data generation
Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system. Gluu filters and displays relevant information based on the user's role in the processes. Users can set it up to view as a viewer, worker, manager, or controller of the area. The front end offers different views but provides an easy dashboard for employees. On the dashboard, users can configure it to show tasks, related work instructions, and connected processes. It's very user-friendly, allowing end-users to understand their tasks and processes without needing in-depth knowledge.

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

"Most of the features are related to banking within this particular IT industry. Security and the market are also important features."
"Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system."
"First of all, the solution is very simple."
"The MFA part is the best; MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication, and Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text, which provide different ways of logging in for users and were a lot more than what we needed."
"The solution so far has been very stable."
"The pass-through authentication is very useful."
"My favorite aspect of Okta Platform is that it is really user-friendly."
"The onboarding is the solution's most valuable aspect, as it helps us save time in terms of creating a password for each of the SaaS applications versus Okta, where you have this one single pane of glass to see who has what application or who needs which application."
"Ease of use and the ability to trust the product are what I value most."
"If your use case is multi-cloud data centers and hybrid cloud architecture, Okta is a solution to go to."
 

Cons

"The tool integrates AI into the process modeling aspect. I believe this addition will significantly enhance usability. Additionally, it might be beneficial to have the capability to import content from other tools into this platform. Our platform follows its business process modeling notation standard, which differs from BPM. It uses a simpler notation, making it easier. The ability to import content from other tools could accommodate users accustomed to different standards."
"I would like to see features around federation, authentication, authorization, and AI APIs with a ChatGPT interface."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"Okta Platform is a bit expensive compared to other solutions. Okta Platform is a bit expensive, and in fact, I am using the managed services from Okta Platform; they too are a bit expensive for us, but we are using them because we are happy to go with this solution."
"The initial setup could be easier to do."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"Better multi-factor authentication integration and support, it's around v2.0 and will need a 3.0 release for maturity."
"Maybe the interface could use some work but, for the most part, the tool is pretty cool."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"The tool is cheaper compared to typical German products. I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"The product's price is high. For each feature, a certain payment is required."
"Okta's pricing is right where it needs to be and right in the middle of the market."
"The price of the solution is fair for what it offers."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is good."
"We pay 23 pence (approximately $0.30 USD) per user, annually, for 150,000 users."
"It is costly for large companies."
