Room For Improvement

Users criticized LastPass for slow performance, sync issues, security concerns, poor customer service, and an outdated design.
Okta Workforce Identity requires enhanced user provisioning, third-party integration, identity governance, reporting, pricing, on-premises functionality, and documentation.
I believe that if we integrate the workflows section into the main Okta Workforce Identity dashboard, it can be very useful.
Okta should have at least a local peering partner for countries that align with or comply with GDPR, so there are no compliance or audit questions.

<p>LastPass offers affordable plans for Teams and Enterprises, praised for security, user management, performance, and customer support.</p>
Okta's pricing is competitive but costly for large enterprises, with costs depending on user count and additional services.
 

Valuable Features

Users praise LastPass for its strong security, password management, autofill, cross-device sync, and business features like shared folders and admin controls.
Okta Workforce Identity offers seamless app integration, automated provisioning, multifactor authentication, and user-friendly management for enhanced identity lifecycle.
We can automate them as well, and we can provision users, groups, applications, and provision tools based on specific groups as well.
Any API can also be added, making it mature in terms of integrating with other identity providers, particularly Active Directory or Inter ID.
Hackers cannot access the system directly.

Straightforward to set up, good support, intuitive to use, and offers good value for the cost
The most valuable feature is being able to use a single master password to access all of your other passwords. One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes. In our scenario, these are notes such as how to get some of our devices on the network. They are processes and procedures that we don't want anybody else to see, especially within the IT department. It's a small department and we have very many processes that we use, but not on a daily basis, so we aren't going to remember them. By using LastPass and secure notes, we can go back to those notes in a secure fashion and remind ourselves how to do certain things. For instance, how to create a test database for accounting, which is something that we do once a year. We don't want that to be out in a non-secure fashion, where somebody in the public can see it.
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.
