Certain applications may pose challenges in terms of integration, especially when they require IDP technologies that aren't easily codable. While I can't provide specific examples, some applications may not integrate with Okta Workforce Identity."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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.

"It is challenging to obtain a comprehensive backup."

"I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial."
