We compared Okta Workforce Identity and Jamf Connect across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Okta Workforce Identity is commended for its user-friendly interface, seamless integration, and dependable performance. However, there is room for improvement in password management, user interface, and customer support. On the other hand, Jamf Connect is highly regarded for its convenience, efficient password reset capabilities, and smooth integration with Azure AD. It is also considered cost-effective compared to other options. Nevertheless, there are areas that could be enhanced, such as device restart issues and software bugs.
"The most valuable feature is the synchronization of passwords with a local password, which works well."
"Jamf Connect is a pretty simple and straightforward tool overall."
"It's connection with Azure is the most valuable. It is easy to deploy and connect."
"I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten."
"It's a good and stable tool, so you should use it if you have a need."
"Jamf Connect allows for easy and seamless joining of Mac devices to Azure AD, eliminating the need for third-party involvement or support engineer assistance."
"The tool supports different types of authentication. It also integrates seamlessly if you are using other Jamf products."
"Jamf Connect is an identity provider, and once you log in, you will have all the device's access."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"Okta integrates well with other solutions. Once you have integrated an application into Okta and onboarded a user, they will be onboarded for just-in-time provisioning."
"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's easy to use and straightforward."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"The logs are an area with a shortcoming."
"We've had some issues when users restart their devices because the device asks for credentials afterward. Jamf Connect asks for a username, password, and MFA."
"The solution's UI could be more user-friendly for the setup process."
"The solution needs to improve its licensing."
"The solution’s technical support is bad and should be improved."
"The configuration could be faster."
"Jamf Connect is beginning to implement Multi-Factor Authentication for offline authentication, but the setup documentation is insufficient."
"We have faced issues with the product's configuration. If we use the tool with other business manager solutions, then there is the issue of naming conventions. The tool needs to be careful with newer updates so that it doesn't break any of the existing configurations."
"The solution lacks an on-premises deployment model so it can't offer a hybrid solution. It would be ideal if clients had options that weren't just cloud-based."
"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."
"You can't hide the device when you're checking logs."
"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."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
"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."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
