Authentication process improves security with quick and intuitive user interface
The best feature is the speed and execution of Okta Workforce Identity. The moment you click on single sign-on, you immediately get the notification on your mobile phone, then you do the authentication and within a second you get authenticated. The entire customer experience is very good. The user interface is pretty simple, straightforward, and really good. Multi-factor authentication in Okta Workforce Identity is very useful so people who do not have access or are trying to access using just a user ID and password will be completely blocked because of this two-factor authentication. You will get the code, and as your device is authorized in the system, only that device can be used for the authentication purpose. A third person trying to access or hack your data will not be able to do that anymore. Additionally, you don't have to remember your passwords going forward. Previously, every 60 days or 90 days, passwords kept changing. With the two-factor authentication or single sign-on option in Okta Workforce Identity, you don't have to remember it anymore or write down passwords in plain text. If something goes wrong, we have the IAM team which can unlock your account immediately if you have issues.

Efficiently manage applications with secure single sign-on and streamlined operations
Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access. Its ability to consolidate applications on a single interface streamlines operations significantly. The product is highly secure and reliable, especially in managing user access across various platforms. Multi-factor authentication enhances security by requiring additional verification steps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"It made things a lot easier, especially with passwords."
"The most valuable feature is the identity access authentication."
"It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Okta is its security."
"You can only log in if you have the access, which protects the applications by avoiding cross-site scripting."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the integration with external websites one-factor authentication."
"Other than Okta being an easy and awesome integration tool, one of the best features it has is the provisioning and deprovisioning, which makes management way easier. You don't need to be too technical to understand how it works."
"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible."
"I would tell others that this solution is reliable. If they are looking for a solution that is reliable and that is scalable, then this is a good one."
"The product supports customization."
 

Cons

"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."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"The lifecycle management part can be improved. It should also have identity governance and the ability to choose a specific factor authentication at the application level. Its licensing and pricing can also be improved."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"You can't hide the device when you're checking logs."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"To improve Oracle Access Manager, they should consider integrating more policies and enhancing automation, especially in managing server load and cache cleanup."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow."
"Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities."
"The product is complicated and difficult to install and configure."
"The user interface is a bit complicated and could be made more lightweight. Simplifying the installation process, perhaps through a VDAR-based installation, would also be beneficial."

"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The tool is affordable."
"The product is a little expensive."
