Single sign-on saves time by seamlessly managing passwords and improving workflow efficiency
What I appreciate best about Imprivata OneSign are the single sign-on and the Confirm ID features. The single sign-on works seamlessly for all the nurses or the end users out there. You just have to log in to the application once and the single sign-on clicks in and works for everyone. Users don't have to manually remember all their passwords. Imprivata OneSign helps by remembering and storing all passwords. The integration capabilities of Imprivata OneSign offer many possibilities, and there are numerous upgrades Imprivata has been implementing. At this point, they are growing rapidly. There are new tools coming out for reporting and generating real-time analysis. Imprivata E-PAM is a new feature that I've been reading about in articles, which is going to help administrator people and enterprise administrator personnel to view real-time records and views for all end customers. Reporting and looking at logs for the users will be seamlessly efficient. I use the reporting tools available in Imprivata OneSign. The admin console itself has a reporting feature, which gives us a list of pre-built templates of reports where you can see how many users have been added, the user policy, the users who have last logged in in specific amounts of days, and the reporting for the EPCS users. There are numerous reporting options available which help with troubleshooting issues. I have seen many benefits from using Imprivata OneSign. It saves substantial time for nurses. As a nurse or doctor, you don't have to spend time remembering passwords or signing into computers. You just need to grab the nearest machine and tap in. You can use the machine anytime if you want. It saves time when dealing with patients. For doctors who might not be tech-savvy, Imprivata OneSign helps them sign in seamlessly.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have seen many benefits from using Imprivata OneSign. It saves substantial time for nurses."
"Imprivata OneSign helps customers minimize their work in remembering passwords and enhances their security."
"Imprivata supports single sign-on, providing a service that allows users to sign in to whatever application they are using, and the deployment is very quick and not difficult to deploy."
"It has benefited my organization in the way that it makes it more secure by making it harder to hack."
"Other than Okta being an easy and awesome integration tool, one of the best features it has is the provisioning and deprovisioning, which makes management way easier. You don't need to be too technical to understand how it works."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."
"The most valuable features are identity management and OpenID."
"Okta Platform is a great product and one of the best."
"The most valuable features depend on a customer's needs. Our customers generally find multi-factor authentication very useful."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"The positive impact I have seen from using Okta Platform is that it makes it easier for new joiners to get birthright access and have users added based on department or employee type."
 

Cons

"Imprivata OneSign should have a landing page because most customers prefer this feature, which is currently a strong point for competitors."
"I would like for them to make this solution compatible with Mac OS. I would also like for them to provide a portal so that users can easily integrate it with their applications."
"Fast user switching and Citrix integration in Imprivata OneSign could improve. There are many options available for VDI connectivity, but I've seen issues with VDI connectivity and Citrix storefront connectivity."
"They should have a landing page."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
"We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito."
"It was complex to implement password synchronization between AD domains."
"Areas for improvement with Okta Workforce Identity would be in the governance place; for me, it is light."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
"Okta Platform does not recognize when I have already verified myself once on my HubSpot login across multiple tabs."
"Whenever I write Cypress test cases, we encounter problems with logging in through Okta."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At the moment, I believe the price is reasonable."
"The price is reasonable, it's an affordable solution."
"The solution is really expensive."

"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"The cost per user for this solution is really high and could be reduced."
"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."
"The product's price is high. For each feature, a certain payment is required."
