"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful."
"It's reliable and it does what it is advertised to do."
"The ease of deployment, ease of use, and speed of delivery is what I like about Okta Workforce Identity. It is very easy to use. For a lot of software, you need to be trained extensively and have a very technical background. Okta Workforce Identity is quite simple. You can integrate any software into Okta. They've got a network of 7,000 applications that easily integrate into it."
"One of the features that I have found to be very valuable is its interoperability and compatibility with all types of resources, whether it's networking, infrastructure, or applications. That is, it is compatible as well as interoperable, as far as the federated authentication is concerned."
"The initial setup is easy."
"What I found most valuable in Okta Workforce Identity is that it worked together with VMware Workspace One, so there was this device check at the same time. My company used the trusted device method that enabled you to define that only the trusted devices including the Workspace One agent were able to access the applications directly without an additional authentication step."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution could be more reasonably priced. We find it to be a bit expensive right now."
"It is an expensive solution, so I would like its price to be improved."
"I think that the solution needs to be made available in a local region of every country, especially in countries like Taiwan."
"The setup could be more user-friendly."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Google is not well supported in France."
"The solution should have better integration."
"I think this product needs to shift the focus from our software, our solution, like social media analytics to our customers; not maintenance in the hardware."

"The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."
"The solution’s policies are difficult to understand due to the policy methods. They use authentication. The solution’s workflow is also difficult and not very active. They need to have proper documentation on it. In the next release, I would like to see the workflows being more digestible."
"RESTful Web Service calls and their response seem a bit slow."
"It's not compatible with on-premises installations, unless you host it as a SaaS. We were not able to do that. For example, imagine a scenario where the cloud is not available. Then, Okta will not work for you. That use case will readily fail because it doesn't have an on-premises installation that you can use to authenticate or provide identity and access management. If you have a purely on-premises solution that is not connected to the internet, then this will not work. This is one area that can be improved."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
