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

"It is a very stable solution."
"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"They have good push authentications."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"Having a single sign-on to all our applications."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"My company has used most features of Oracle Access Manager for various implementations, but the most helpful feature of the solution for the business and customers is single sign-on."
"From a technical perspective, the solution is very good we can operate and control the user by ourselves."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"I find the authentication module, authentication scheme, and security policy most useful in Oracle Access Manager."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"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."
 

Cons

"Okta should have at least a local peering partner for countries that align with or comply with GDPR, so there are no compliance or audit questions."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"The training is too costly."
"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."
"It would be pricing, which is a tough one because it goes against Microsoft. A lot of companies say they're a Microsoft partner, and they get all their software for free. Okta is like a luxury product, and it's not the most affordable one. I would say if they could work on pricing, it would help. Other than that, they've done great strides in developing a product that is really good. The companies that do see the value tend to invest in it."
"There is a need for Okta to provide an end-to-end solution without needing a separate product like Zscaler for multifactor authentication."
"Okta should have at least a local peering partner for countries that align with or comply with GDPR, so there are no compliance or audit questions."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve provisioning it can be made simpler."
"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."
"In other products, we can customize on the GUI end, whereas in Oracle, we need to take a backup of the JAR file and then customize it...and during this process, sometimes the WebLogic admin console will go down, which will impact the process."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product's price is high. For each feature, a certain payment is required."
"The price of the solution is good."
"The licensing model is fine for general service usage. However, the charges for API features and API tokens can be quite high."
"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
"The product has a user-based license model."
"The product is a little expensive."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"The tool is affordable."
