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 impacted my organization positively by providing convenience, first of all, because there are no more different passwords for many different apps, security has also improved because we eliminate a very big weak point that passwords represent, and we maintain control to ensure we only give access to the necessary apps to the necessary people."
"Our customers use it for multi-factor authentication, lifecycle, and workflow."
"If your use case is multi-cloud data centers and hybrid cloud architecture, Okta is a solution to go to."
"I would highly recommend Okta Platform because it gives you access to Single Sign-On (SSO) and multi-factor authentication, and even though it is on the costly side, it eventually balances out with the features that it provides."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"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."
"Okta Platform is highly reliable and does not have any sort of downtime."
"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."
"In our first year using the product we were able to save over double the cost of the product in vendor and maintenance fees."
 

Cons

"The integration process takes a bit longer than we would want it to."
"Okta Platform is expensive. At scale, Okta Platform is costly."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"I would not say Okta Platform is a cost-effective solution. It is an enterprise-grade solution, so it is comparatively on the higher side in terms of cost."
"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 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."
"It is costly for large companies."
"The product's price is high. For each feature, a certain payment is required."
"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 this product could be lower."
"The price of the solution is good."
"Okta has fairly competitive pricing."
