Single secure login has simplified daily access and strengthened multi-factor protection
Okta Platform offers several valuable features. The first one is Single Sign-On, which allows users to log in once and gain access to multiple applications without needing to enter credentials repeatedly. I believe that is one of the best features. The second one is multi-factor authentication (MFA). It adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through multiple methods such as a password and a mobile verification code. I use it mostly to manage secure access to enterprise applications and cloud services. Other features include user lifecycle management and integration with cloud applications. I myself have relied mostly on multi-factor authentication (MFA) because I tend to log in every day and whenever I am working or take a break, I use this multi-factor authentication to sign in. Okta Platform simplifies identity management, improves security, and allows employees to access multiple applications through a single secure login. I believe this is a very good feature. Okta Platform has improved our organization through user authentication with features like Single Sign-On and multi-factor authentication. I believe the features it provides simplify identity management, improve security, and fulfill the need for secure and centralized identity and access management.

Simple to use, easy to set up, and performs well
I'm not saying that we want to switch the product, however, since the requirement has increased, we are looking at other options that may be better suited. The scalability may not there. We have a few specific use cases where we have to avoid the cloud. Especially in Europe, we're not allowed to carry their phone in factories. We need some sort of secure access solution. There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure. I am paying to SafeNet and in parallel, I also need to pay Microsoft to use the same service. That makes no sense, to pay double. If they could do something about it, that would be very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My total rating for Okta is ten out of ten."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable functions are Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"One of the features that I have found to be very valuable is its interoperability and compatibility with all types of resources, whether it's networking, infrastructure, or applications. That is, it is compatible as well as interoperable, as far as the federated authentication is concerned."
"First of all, the solution is very simple."
"We are able to look at our ROI from this solution as an intangible benefit, as the solution requires a lot of human capital but offers us security so in our opinion we have received a high ROI as this is something that we have planned for and invested in."
"Right now, we only have a small use case for the product, however, it has performed well."
"I recommend this solution because it protects information."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The solution is simple to use."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
 

Cons

"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."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"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."
"With the device applications, when you are checking the logs, you can't hide the device and that's a feature that's missing."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"I'd like to see more networking features, such as the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
"Lacks the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
"The scalability may not be there."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is reasonable."
"The price of this product could be lower."
"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"
"I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
"License is around US$20,000 annually."
"The solution’s pricing needs to be reasonable. You are dealing with a lot of components and the pricing is component-based."
"Though I don't know about the licensing model of the product, I wouldn't be surprised if Okta offers a per user license subscription model."
"The price of the solution is fair for what it offers."
