Centralized access control has saved time and simplifies day-to-day identity management
I faced challenges earlier when I selected a role; it wasn't showing in any account it was associated with. It wasn't listing the account it was associated with, but later that feature came through and I am able to see that. When I select the role, this role is part of these many accounts or this particular account. I don't have anything else to add about the needed improvements at this point. I choose an eight out of ten because I think this technology world is evolving very rapidly and AI is stepping into the technology. AI growth is so fast, and I would think there should be some AI capabilities within IAM Health Cloud so that it would better serve the customers.

Automated lifecycle management has cut onboarding times and now drives secure, clean access
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.

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

Pros

"IAM Health Cloud has positively impacted my organization by giving us all the required dashboards that we can manage everything from one place."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Workforce Identity offers a comprehensive access management solution with multi-factor authentication, total control, and features like app access management, identity governance, and administration tools such as certification and access request management. These are typically found in identity management solutions, but Okta integrates them seamlessly into its user interface."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"We find the solution to be reliable for our customers and it is nice that it is cloud-based and can be accessed from anywhere."
"It made things a lot easier, especially with passwords."
"With the help of Okta and its outstanding user friendly UI, integrating more than 300 applications went fairly easily."
"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."
"The most useful features of Okta for my organization are identity and access management, single sign-on, and the flexibility for hybrid setups."
 

Cons

"I choose an eight out of ten because I think this technology world is evolving very rapidly and AI is stepping into the technology."
"In Okta Identity Governance and Okta Privileged Access, some features are still being developed. Integration with Active Directory servers, Cisco routers, and switches is not currently available."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"The error logging could be improved. Okta doesn't provide enough details when you are troubleshooting an issue. It's often difficult to fix it from our end, so we always need additional support from Okta."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"The product is expensive compared to other tools."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
