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 most valuable functions are Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)."
"I think this is a good solution, I would recommend it."
"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."
"Adaptive authentication in Okta Customer Identity is a flexible feature that is very secure and user-friendly."
"The end user's ease of use is the most valuable feature."
"Okta has introduced the Universal Directory. It has custom attribute capability and user permissions to read/write on their profiles or hide them. Profile sources and identity profile sourcing are two different components that I haven't seen in other products."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"Account creation and disabling people on time has made our team more productive."
"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."
"SAP CDC is very easy to use and the best part about this tool is its documentation."
 

Cons

"They are far from perfect, so Okta has the worst implementation."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
"Okta Platform is on the costlier side because it is considered competitive for enterprise identity management solutions."
"This solution would be improved by adding biometrics features."
"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."
"What I'd like to see improved in Okta Customer Identity is the process of exporting users. Currently, it lacks this feature, and you have to use a third-party tool to export users from the group. Exporting users should be very easy, though I did notice that Okta Customer Identity is being upgraded from time to time, and I've been seeing much improvement in it compared to the previous years."
"What I'd like to see improved in Okta Customer Identity is the process of exporting users."
"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."
"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

"The product's price is high. For each feature, a certain payment is required."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."
"We pay 23 pence (approximately $0.30 USD) per user, annually, for 150,000 users."
"The price of the solution is good."
"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 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."
"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."
