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."

More Gluu Pros →

"It is dependent on the evolution of your user base. It depends on usage per user, so the more sign-ins there are, the more expensive it becomes, so it works best for smaller companies from a financial perspective.""Okta Workforce Identity is easy to use and has a lot of components.""The solution can scale very well.""I like the tool's workflows, which is user-friendly. It can integrate with different applications. I particularly like that users are delighted to access their applications without the hassle of entering their username and password each time. It truly enhances user-friendliness.""The product requires very little maintenance.""Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes.""They have good push authentications.""First of all, the solution is very simple."

Cons
"I would like to see features around federation, authentication, authorization, and AI APIs with a ChatGPT interface.""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."

More Gluu Cons →

"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning.""We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved.""The ability or the options in the solution for changing the look and feel are not good enough because in our partner portal, essentially what they have is an ugly admin interface.""We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito.""There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it.""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.""There are some issues with the interface that can be improved.""We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."

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"
