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

"You can only log in if you have the access, which protects the applications by avoiding cross-site scripting."
"It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"The solution can scale very well."
"I like the tool's workflows, which is user-friendly. It can integrate with different applications. I particularly like that users are delighted to access their applications without the hassle of entering their username and password each time. It truly enhances user-friendliness."
"One of the most beneficial features of the solution is the user provisioning and the de-provisioning feature."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"The product supports customization."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most important functions of Oracle Access Manager are single sign-on and its integration capability with different applications."
"Excellent SSO solution for Oracle products."
"Overall, I rate Oracle Access Manager nine out of ten for its extensive capabilities."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
 

Cons

"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"It can have more API integrations."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"In my country, there's a lot of stealing of mobile phones, and mobile phones are the authentication device through the Okta application. If someone should steal my mobile phone, which is very common in my country, he or she might have access to my company account. That's my concern."
"The solution is very expensive."
"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."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"The training is too costly."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"To improve Oracle Access Manager, they should consider integrating more policies and enhancing automation, especially in managing server load and cache cleanup."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"There could be some improvements in the documentation and overall knowledge base of the solution."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"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."
 

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 is expensive compared to other vendors."
"The price of this product could be lower."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is competitively priced. We pay annually for the use of the solution."
"This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."
"Price-wise, Okta Workforce Identity is a cheap solution. The overall cost depends on the license since you can negotiate with Okta or any of Okta's partners only if you opt for many licenses."
"It is costly for large companies."
"The product has a user-based license model."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The tool is affordable."
"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."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
