We performed a comparison between Okta Workforce Identity and UserLock based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"It has a wide range of MFA options. I prefer "Okta Verify" out of them all."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"Workforce Identity offers a comprehensive access management solution with multi-factor authentication, total control, and features like app access management, identity governance, and administration tools such as certification and access request management. These are typically found in identity management solutions, but Okta integrates them seamlessly into its user interface."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"First of all, the solution is very simple."
"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."
"It's easy to use and straightforward."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user."
"The solution lacks an on-premises deployment model so it can't offer a hybrid solution. It would be ideal if clients had options that weren't just cloud-based."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
"The stability could be better."
"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to 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."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
