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

"The solution has great multifactor authentication."
"The most valuable functions are Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"Ease of use and the ability to trust the product are what I value most."
"The impact of SSO on my IT overhead and user experience has been significant because it reduced authentication fatigue, password sharing, and password reusing."
"It is flexible and easy to install."
"Okta Platform has positively impacted our organization by dramatically improving our security posture, enforcing Multi-factor Authentication across all applications, and increasing productivity by allowing employees to access all their tools with one set of credentials."
"Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes."
"In our first year using the product we were able to save over double the cost of the product in vendor and maintenance fees."
"SAP CDC is very easy to use and the best part about this tool is its documentation."
"It has enhanced the security and customer satisfaction of our customers."
 

Cons

"I think the setup in the beginning can be a bit of a learning curve."
"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."
"They also have single sign-on (SSO). When we bought Okta Workforce Identity a year and a half ago, I was also looking at SSO, but not much documentation was available for SSO."
"It can have more API integrations."
"Whenever I write Cypress test cases, we encounter problems with logging in through Okta."
"The initial setup could be easier to do."
"We've not had any problems with Okta."
"While I see very few areas for improvement in Okta Platform, I do note its high cost, which can be particularly challenging for smaller organizations looking to utilize advanced features like Okta Workflows."
"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 would like to see Gigya implement additional disaster recovery systems."
"I have struggled to give different access to different users in the same application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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"
"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."
"License is around US$20,000 annually."
"The licensing model is fine for general service usage. However, the charges for API features and API tokens can be quite high."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is reasonable."
"I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
"The price of the solution is fair for what it offers."
"We pay 23 pence (approximately $0.30 USD) per user, annually, for 150,000 users."
