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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"Okta Workforce Identity is easy to use and has a lot of components."
"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."
"Okta is not only a single sign-on platform but also life cycle management, the core of the identity management platform, and Okta Access Gateway can publish on-premise legacy applications to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of this solution for most customers is access management."
"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."
"Its integration components are most valuable; it integrates with everything in some way, completely and 100% with products such as O365 or AD so you can seamlessly create accounts across the board, and for products with which it doesn't completely integrate, you can still do some kind of interfacing."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"SAP CDC is very easy to use and the best part about this tool is its documentation."
"In our first year using the product we were able to save over double the cost of the product in vendor and maintenance fees."
"It has enhanced the security and customer satisfaction of our customers."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"The initial setup could be easier to do."
"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."
"We had an issue with the Okta Workforce Identity dashboard once in 2023 when we had an outage, but it recovered in a few minutes."
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user."
"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."
"RESTful Web Service calls and their response seem a bit slow."
"I would like to see Gigya implement additional disaster recovery systems."
"The user access and authorization features need to be improved. I have struggled to give different access to different users in the same application."
"I have struggled to give different access to different users in the same application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"License is around US$20,000 annually."
"Okta's pricing is right where it needs to be and right in the middle of the market."
"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"
"We pay 23 pence (approximately $0.30 USD) per user, annually, for 150,000 users."
"The solution is not the cheapest but not the most expensive. They are in the middle rating."
"Okta has fairly competitive pricing."
"The price of this product could be lower."
"The pricing for Okta Workforce Identity could still be improved or made cheaper. It costs from 50 to 100 euros a year per user. Okta Workforce Identity has different packages you can choose from, and my previous company had all of them, particularly the full Okta suite."
