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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Mobile Connect has significantly improved our operational efficiency by eliminating the need for workers to switch between multiple applications."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ability to answer calls."
"Working and getting advice from the Mobile Connect team and the process around it was spot-on."
"Pricing is fair for the quality of the app and features"
"The key feature of the solution is the multifactor authentication itself."
"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."
"Okta Platform is a great IAM solution because it's a very mature and cloud-first IAM platform, making it perfect for companies or startups that are just starting out; they don't need to go through on-premise setups."
"Valuable features include UD, SSO functionality, MFA and Adaptive MFA functionality, ability to link multiple Directory databases with UD."
"I think all the functions of the solution are vital and important because life cycle management is important for some companies. The Single Sign-On feature is fantastic for different customers and advanced server access is really good for access to the servers."
"This product is very stable and is one of our best applications."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in video support."
"The solution works well, but it is too expensive."
"My only comment is that I would like more comprehensive documentation regarding the implementation process."
"Salesforce voice call records are not created instantly in the system."
"For enterprises which really prefer to have their own identity within their own perimeter, Okta Platform might not be the solution they might look for."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
"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."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"One feature I can mention is that there should be an optional registration option for multiple MFA factors."
"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."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
"Price-wise, Okta Workforce Identity is a cheap solution. The overall cost depends on the license since you can negotiate with Okta or any of Okta's partners only if you opt for many licenses."
"Okta Customer Identity is not an expensive solution."
"The solution is not the cheapest but not the most expensive. They are in the middle rating."
"The pricing for Okta Workforce Identity could still be improved or made cheaper. It costs from 50 to 100 euros a year per user. Okta Workforce Identity has different packages you can choose from, and my previous company had all of them, particularly the full Okta suite."
"The licensing is per user per month and includes full technical support."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"The product has a user-based license model."
