Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the features that I have found to be very valuable is its interoperability and compatibility with all types of resources, whether it's networking, infrastructure, or applications. That is, it is compatible as well as interoperable, as far as the federated authentication is concerned."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"Other than Okta being an easy and awesome integration tool, one of the best features it has is the provisioning and deprovisioning, which makes management way easier. You don't need to be too technical to understand how it works."
"Okta controls all the users. It has context-based access from the user and type of device. It identifies the risk and can do a step of authentication when that user is trying to access some sensitive application from an unknown device."
"The solution can scale very well."
"The feature that is most valuable to me is the automated user provisioning that we set up using Okta as a major part of that process."
"The product requires very little maintenance."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"Scalable and stable."
"We use this solution to log into virtual machines like VMware and VMware Horizon."
"I like how the solution allows me to support different types of hardware tokens and integrate with OTP."
"The most valuable feature of SafeNet Authentication Manager is authentication."
"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 guest user access could be improved."
"I would appreciate it if Okta Workforce Identity becomes more user-friendly. Its API technology is complicated. 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 stability could be better."
"We had some implementation issues."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"The stability could improve."
"The problem with SafeNet is that it's not integrated with Microsoft 365."
"The solution should allow for support of multi-tenant architecture."
"Lacks integration with other platforms."
