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

"Okta Platform has positively impacted our organization because our staff can connect to all tools and applications we use from a single location, which has saved us time."
"Okta Platform has positively impacted my organization by doing a lot of cleanup, simplifying operations, improving visibility, governance, and security across the board."
"The most valuable feature is the identity access authentication."
"You can only log in if you have the access, which protects the applications by avoiding cross-site scripting."
"Workforce Identity offers a comprehensive access management solution with multi-factor authentication, total control, and features like app access management, identity governance, and administration tools such as certification and access request management. These are typically found in identity management solutions, but Okta integrates them seamlessly into its user interface."
"Ease of use and the ability to trust the product are what I value most."
"This was a big money saver, which was much appreciated by our clients."
"I can say it is more secure, more user-friendly, and integration with applications is easier."
"It has enhanced the security and customer satisfaction of our customers."
"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."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is difficult because you're setting it up with your own portal."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."
"Okta has a limitation with directory integrations. If you have multiple Active Directory integrations, the user distinguished name (DN) and the manager DN don't get imported properly into the Okta user profile."
"The initial setup could be easier to do."
"For enterprises which really prefer to have their own identity within their own perimeter, Okta Platform might not be the solution they might look for."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
 

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."
"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."
"Pricing might be high, but it comes down when the number of people using the product goes up."
"The product has a user-based license model."
"The solution’s pricing needs to be reasonable. You are dealing with a lot of components and the pricing is component-based."
"It is costly for large companies."
"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"
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is reasonable."
