Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Okta, Google and others in Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS)."They have good push authentications."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"First of all, the solution is very simple."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"Workforce Identity's best features include its user-friendliness and easy setup."
"I like the tool's workflows, which is user-friendly. It can integrate with different applications. I particularly like that users are delighted to access their applications without the hassle of entering their username and password each time. It truly enhances user-friendliness."
"The MFA part is the best. MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication. Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text. These options provide different ways of logging in for users, and they were a lot more than what we needed. This is certainly a very good feature of Okta Workforce Identity."
"The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"The most valuable features of Saviynt are database utility and report generation. These two features have a major impact, particularly when you are trying to create a report because, in other systems, you need to use a third-party utility such as a BI tool or any other reporting tool to fetch the data and send out the report to a third party team. In Saviynt, it's a system within a system, so you don't have to use any third-party tool because you can directly do your query and write that code on Saviynt and then send that report to the team."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"We've not had any problems with Okta."
"The only area of concern in the solution stems from the fact that my company needs some help regarding the setup phase from a partner."
"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"It is challenging to obtain a comprehensive backup."
"We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."
"The only aspect in which it can be improved is that the interface could be cleaner. I found this even when I was trying to do my certification exam because the certification is hands-on. You find yourself fumbling around a little bit to find simple things. This happens even when you start to get familiar with the product."
"The solution’s policies are difficult to understand due to the policy methods. They use authentication. The solution’s workflow is also difficult and not very active. They need to have proper documentation on it. In the next release, I would like to see the workflows being more digestible."
"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
