"The ease of deployment, ease of use, and speed of delivery is what I like about Okta Workforce Identity. It is very easy to use.

They've got a network of 7,000 applications that easily integrate into it."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."

Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text.

"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 only area of concern in the solution stems from the fact that my company needs some help regarding the setup phase from a partner."
"The only aspect in which it can be improved is that the interface could be cleaner. I found this even when I was trying to do my certification exam because the certification is hands-on. You find yourself fumbling around a little bit to find simple things. This happens even when you start to get familiar with the product."

"UD attribute mapping, Okta group rules, and dynamic usage could use improvement. It also needs more in-depth functionality and features to integrate with RADIUS solutions."
