Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and its robustness.""Security is the best feature of Microsoft Azure Sentinel. It has its own base security. Our customers like that the security is available in Azure."

More Microsoft Sentillion eXpresso Pros →

"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 can automate the process of adding users to Okta if they are activated in Active Directory, or if they are added to the database of applications or Active Directory in the last couple of days.""Workforce Identity's best features include its user-friendliness and easy setup.""It's reliable and it does what it is advertised to do.""What I found most valuable in Okta Workforce Identity is that it worked together with VMware Workspace One, so there was this device check at the same time. My company used the trusted device method that enabled you to define that only the trusted devices including the Workspace One agent were able to access the applications directly without an additional authentication step.""This solution has a lot of capabilities and features.""The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security.""I like the tool's workflows, which is user-friendly. It can integrate with different applications. I particularly like that users are delighted to access their applications without the hassle of entering their username and password each time. It truly enhances user-friendliness."

Cons
"The shortcomings in the stability need improvement.""We had some feedback from customers who have said it was a confusing product. The product is confusing to use for the end-user. For example, they do not know how to migrate the Azure Sentinel, but others have liked the product that has started working on it."

More Microsoft Sentillion eXpresso Cons →

"The guest user access could be improved.""Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow.""It can have more API integrations.""It would be pricing, which is a tough one because it goes against Microsoft. A lot of companies say they're a Microsoft partner, and they get all their software for free. Okta is like a luxury product, and it's not the most affordable one. I would say if they could work on pricing, it would help. Other than that, they've done great strides in developing a product that is really good. The companies that do see the value tend to invest in it.""The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved.""There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it.""We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito.""This user integration with the Okta integration network could be simplified."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Users need to pay either annually or on a multi-year basis towards the licensing costs of the product."

    • More Microsoft Sentillion eXpresso Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It could be a bit too pricey for small companies. Okta Workforce Identity can add a lot of benefits, but smaller companies may not have a lot of applications that need to be managed by Okta Workforce Identity. In larger organizations, there are more departments, applications, and users to manage. Okta Workforce Identity adds a bit more value to those bigger organizations. In addition to standard licensing fees, there are also additional costs for things"
  • "License is around US$20,000 annually."
  • "I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
  • "It is costly for large companies."
  • "The price of this product could be lower."
  • "It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."
