Senior Project Manager at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
Mobile access to calls and records has freed agents’ time but call logs create slowly
Working and getting advice from the Mobile Connect team and the process around it was spot-on. Ruben Opdenakker particularly was very supportive of our ad hoc requests while we were in our POV stage. He was very prompt, and I recommend Mobile Connect to anyone who's looking to implement a similar use case in their organization.

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.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to answer calls."
"Mobile Connect has significantly improved our operational efficiency by eliminating the need for workers to switch between multiple applications."
"Pricing is fair for the quality of the app and features"
"Working and getting advice from the Mobile Connect team and the process around it was spot-on."
"First of all, the solution is very simple."
"It is flexible and easy to install."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"Okta Platform authentication is essential because it minimizes the hassle of signing into multiple applications while maintaining security."
"The main benefits Okta Customer Identity provides to users include single point of login for all applications and single authentication, which saves time and reduces frustration."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"Valuable features include UD, SSO functionality, MFA and Adaptive MFA functionality, ability to link multiple Directory databases with UD."
"It's very stable we have 99.999% uptime on the base"
 

Cons

"My only comment is that I would like more comprehensive documentation regarding the implementation process."
"The solution works well, but it is too expensive."
"There is room for improvement in video support."
"Salesforce voice call records are not created instantly in the system."
"It was complex to implement password synchronization between AD domains."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
"The major problem we face with Okta Platform is pricing because most of our clientele move away from Okta Platform because of the pricing."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"What I dislike about Okta Platform is that sometimes there has been some downtime."
"I would not say Okta Platform is a cost-effective solution. It is an enterprise-grade solution, so it is comparatively on the higher side in terms of cost."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."
"Okta has fairly competitive pricing."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"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."
"The price of the solution is good."
"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"
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is reasonable."
