Cons
"The integration process takes a bit longer than we would want it to.""What I'd like to see improved in Okta Customer Identity is the process of exporting users. Currently, it lacks this feature, and you have to use a third-party tool to export users from the group. Exporting users should be very easy, though I did notice that Okta Customer Identity is being upgraded from time to time, and I've been seeing much improvement in it compared to the previous years.""The initial setup could be easier to do.""This solution would be improved by adding biometrics features.""I would like to see the provisioning simplified.""All of the governance functionality and privileged account management could be improved.""Users sometimes have difficulty getting verification codes.""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."

"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box.""There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation.""Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code.""I found the initial setup to be very complex.""The high availability architecture has to be improved.""This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly.""The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
