Positive impact on password management through AI-powered single sign-on
The best features of Imprivata OneSign include the single sign-on with its own AI, meaning that customers don't have to modify their coding. The AI remembers the password and login, so when users enter the system, the AI will input the login and password automatically. The beauty of Imprivata OneSign is that it can use single sign-on with legacy systems such as mainframe terminal products. Most of the latest single sign-on solutions cannot use mainframe systems. Imprivata OneSign helps customers minimize their work in remembering passwords and enhances their security.
Tor Nordhagen - PeerSpot reviewer
Extremely easy to work with, simple to set up, and reasonably priced
The drawback of this solution is that in our shops, many staff members sometimes have to be borrowed from one shop to another and the solution does not really support having multiple roles. The user experience we would like to have when a person works in shop A which pays their salary is that they should have access to pretty much everything. Maybe you have somebody who is a manager in that shop A, he should be able to order new wear, he should be able to change the pricing, he should be able to empty the cash registry, and ship it to the bank. But when for instance, in COVID, people had to fill in for people in shops where a lot of people were sick, then they had to actually use user accounts of people that work in shop B. If you were employed in shop A, you could not work in shop B without borrowing somebody else's user ID and password. Which is really bad. We haven't been able to work around that and Okta Workforce Identity does not have a solution for it. We are now piloting their identity governance solution. Obviously, it's easy to give somebody access, give them an account, and give them roles, but it's hard to maintain that. For example, if you moved from, say working in a shop to working in a warehouse. But why do you still have all this shop access? The solution has until now not had anything to really support the process of taking away access. But now we are in a better release program of Okta's identity governance solution. Although it's very basic, the solution has started on a journey, but identity governance is something that Okta Workforce Identity really needs to improve. 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. The admin interface is good enough for us technical people because that's all we need. We work with the product and we're able to see the data but when it comes to presenting the service portal, Okta Workforce Identity does not have any capabilities really for making it look pretty. To add branding and different graphical user interface elements than Okta basic for essentially delegated admin for the business-to-business portal is horrifying because you're essentially using the tech admin. The only option we had and used, was to take the tech admin console and strip it. so that a vendor that has some goods that are sold in the shops, when they want to add a user on their side, say a driver or a packer on their side who should know how much they've packed in a truck to come to our warehouse, then the user interface that this vendor is using, these functional people will then have to use an extremely basic user interface.
A flexible solution for application management, and facilitated centralization of our IAM
We use HelloID for ourselves and clients, so we need to manage a lot of client environments at once. Functionality to manage this situation is not yet available. When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides a service that allows users to sign in to whatever application they are using. This is the most important feature of this solution."
"Imprivata OneSign helps customers minimize their work in remembering passwords and enhances their security."
"It has benefited my organization in the way that it makes it more secure by making it harder to hack."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"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."
"One of the best features of Okta Workforce Identity is its integration with different SaaS applications, which makes it a better product than the competitors."
"Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes."
"The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the integration with external websites one-factor authentication."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"You don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."
 

Cons

"They should have a landing page."
"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."
"Whenever I write Cypress test cases, we encounter problems with logging in through Okta."
"There is a need for Okta to provide an end-to-end solution without needing a separate product like Zscaler for multifactor authentication."
"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."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"The product is expensive compared to other tools."
"The stability could be better."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At the moment, I believe the price is reasonable."
"The price is reasonable, it's an affordable solution."
"I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
"The price of the solution is good."
"Price-wise, Okta Workforce Identity is a cheap solution. The overall cost depends on the license since you can negotiate with Okta or any of Okta's partners only if you opt for many licenses."
"It is costly for large companies."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"The pricing for Okta Workforce Identity could still be improved or made cheaper. It costs from 50 to 100 euros a year per user. Okta Workforce Identity has different packages you can choose from, and my previous company had all of them, particularly the full Okta suite."
"The product has a user-based license model."
"The cost per user for this solution is really high and could be reduced."
"Since HelloID is very reasonably priced, the return-on-investment is fast."
"In terms of costs and pricing, this solution is worth every penny."
