"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID Governance is access reviews."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID Governance for identity management is multi-factor authentication."

"The feature that is most valuable to me is the automated user provisioning that we set up using Okta as a major part of that process."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security."
"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."
"One of the most beneficial features of the solution is the user provisioning and the de-provisioning feature."
"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."
"The tool helps improve our security and productivity."
"The solution so far has been very stable."
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Entra ID Governance could be providing more granular control over security policies."
"The platform's configuration process needs improvement."
"Microsoft has done a commendable job with RPAX. However, Microsoft should prioritize enhancing its ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) capabilities. Currently, Microsoft's ABAC offering falls behind AWS in comparison."
"The solution lacks the feature to work well with third-party applications."
"They also have single sign-on (SSO). When we bought Okta Workforce Identity a year and a half ago, I was also looking at SSO, but not much documentation was available for SSO. The documentation for SSO should be a little more robust for somebody who is implementing it for the first time."
"We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"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."
"The stability could be better."
"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
