Has improved secure access to all applications through a single login point

Stability and the UI/UX of Okta Customer Identity are fine as they are; I do not see any need for improvement in those areas. From the user perspective, everything is good and no change is needed. I do not think any biometrical features for authentication or limitations from Okta Customer Identity on request systems can be added at this moment. Some users face challenges after upgrades. Whenever we upgrade Okta Customer Identity, there is no challenge or blocker from Okta Customer Identity. However, I have seen cases where there might be issues with InTune or JumpCloud due to sync delays from their end; Okta Customer Identity was fine at that moment. After Okta Customer Identity made an upgrade process, we had some challenges with the integration of Okta Customer Identity and Jamf. The only issue with Okta Customer Identity is after the upgrade process; we have some issues with the integration between Okta Customer Identity and Jamf. The only point for improvement is the upgrade process.

Good in terms of customization and security, offers flexible deployment, and easy to use

I like Transmit FlexID, which is more focused on user-based identity. Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless. Transmit provides security and addresses sensitive administrative work on both technical ends. Their authentication suite helps us secure our infrastructure. Overall, I'd rate Transmit highly in security.

"Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless."

Cons

"Some limitations in scalability. Each application we work with can be completely different, resulting in highly variable implementation processes."
