Automation has reduced large call centers and provides real-time outbound support for patients
Kore.ai is a low-code platform, and you do not necessarily have to be an expert in artificial intelligence or generative AI to use this platform. However, if you have that experience, it will be a valuable add-on. The main advantage is that it has almost every kind of plugin available to use, whether for live agents or if you want to use it as a call center. You have real-time capabilities and the most useful plugins available, with almost every kind of model available with configurations. We can configure the ML models and train them. The platform is very user-friendly with explanatory features and a great UI. One significant feature is the live testing platform with Kore.ai. When you are creating a workflow, you have an interactive, real-time testing platform that reflects every change you make. This makes it easy to debug errors or add new features. Additionally, Kore.ai has many different tools and platforms that cater to different needs, whether for a call center, normal workflow, or machine learning workflow, which is really useful. Because of Kore.ai, it was much easier than creating something manually. A low-code platform always helps, and when that platform has this much capability, it provides far more value than manual development. It was particularly helpful for our team that we could create a POC and get that project into production. Kore.ai helped our team build a generative AI outbound calling chatbot, and it truly helped our customers. If you have a hospital with a thousand employees in a call center, you might consider outsourcing. However, with Kore.ai's outbound calling capabilities, you can eliminate the outsourcing part. You do not need a thousand call center employees. You can accomplish this through automation with just one or two employees if people need to switch to agents. This represented a significant cost reduction.

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

"Kore.ai helps in operational efficiency and faster time-to-market, which is development velocity."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization by being a big money saver because before having our chatbot, the use case was that every time some of our customers needed help, they used to call a number."
"Because of Kore.ai, it was much easier than creating something manually, and when that platform has this much capability, it provides far more value than manual development."
"Kore.ai offers multiple support and services, including API integration, webhook integration, and multiple channels, making it easy to design your own layout, integrate with multiple channels and webhooks, deploy quickly, and track any errors that occur, so it is a good way to start and easy to learn."
"The positive impacts we have seen include expected reductions in average handle time, which is typically around 40 to 50 percent for any BFSI industry use case."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization by helping us build intelligent chatbots and incorporating voice agents, enabling various clients to adopt these solutions, which have been revolutionary for their businesses."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization because we are implementors, and I would say that approximately 80% of our income comes from developed projects with Kore.ai."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization by simplifying the process of responding to emails and streamlining the workflow, saving me considerable time."
"It made things a lot easier, especially with passwords."
"Okta Platform has positively impacted our organization because our staff can connect to all tools and applications we use from a single location, which has saved us time."
"The onboarding is the solution's most valuable aspect, as it helps us save time in terms of creating a password for each of the SaaS applications versus Okta, where you have this one single pane of glass to see who has what application or who needs which application."
"Our clients are happy because prior to implementation, they had a very distributed architecture, and Okta has allowed them to consolidate with respect to identity management, which increases their operational efficiency."
"The tool helps improve our security and productivity."
"Okta is not only a single sign-on platform but also life cycle management, the core of the identity management platform, and Okta Access Gateway can publish on-premise legacy applications to the cloud."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"It is dependent on the evolution of your user base. It depends on usage per user, so the more sign-ins there are, the more expensive it becomes, so it works best for smaller companies from a financial perspective."
 

Cons

"In support, the team is not the greatest, but it works."
"Customer support is okay, I guess. We get what we want from them whenever there is an issue or something, but sometimes when we had issues, it was delayed a lot."
"Kore.ai can be improved by enhancing their documentation, which is currently a bit disorganized."
"We sometimes faced challenges with the integration process due to a lack of in-depth knowledge in the documentation."
"One thing I have learned is the unpredictability of LLMs and how buggy Kore.ai is as a software."
"I choose 7.5 out of 10 for Kore.ai because a few things already need to be improved, one of which I have mentioned."
"I rated Kore.ai eight out of ten because of the potential for these additional improvements."
"To improve Kore.ai, I suggest focusing on more agentic automation, such as offering MCP kind of features with an orchestration layer for use cases."
"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."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Okta Platform is that it is expensive and complicated."
"The initial setup could be easier to do."
"There is an access request system that is very limited access to the systems available for end-users. The access request should improve in Okta Customer Identity."
"While I see very few areas for improvement in Okta Platform, I do note its high cost, which can be particularly challenging for smaller organizations looking to utilize advanced features like Okta Workflows."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
