Straightforward and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "It's easy to use and straightforward."

    What is our primary use case?

    The primary use case is for identity and access management. The single sign-on and access control can be done as a part of Okta. You have APIs to work within Okta and user provisioning.

    What is most valuable?

    It's easy to use and straightforward. 

    What needs improvement?

    It's my personal opinion, but it was a classic UI and now the UI is different. I was used to the old UI and when I moved from the old to new, I found it a bit difficult.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have more than a few years experience of working on Okta.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    It is stable.

    How are customer service and support?

    The technical support for Okta is really supportive.

    How was the initial setup?

    It's on a cloud platform, so all you have to do are the configurations.

    What other advice do I have?

    As Okta is basically comm center identity and access management, I rate it nine out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Enables creating different identities and policies, but it could collaborate with a third-party tool for conditional access features
    Pros and Cons
    • "It is flexible and easy to install."
    • "It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."

    What is most valuable?

    The platform’s most valuable feature is the universal directory, where we can create different identities and build policies. It is flexible and easy to install.

    What needs improvement?

    They could provide collaboration with Microsoft for conditional access and other features. They could work on reducing bugs as well.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been using Okta Workforce Identity for five years.

    How are customer service and support?

    We receive technical support through third-party suppliers. They provide good support services.

    How was the initial setup?

    The platform can be deployed on the cloud.

    What was our ROI?

    The product generates a return on investment in terms of documentation quality and support services provided by Okta.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The product is expensive compared to other vendors.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    We are evaluating a few products for our customers.

    What other advice do I have?

    The impact on user provisioning and de-provisioning processes with Okta Workforce Identity varied depending on the application. Customized applications help in automatic identification. However, it only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning. The security posture has significantly eased various aspects of IAM. The integration capabilities of Okta have provided benefits, especially compared to Azure.

    I rate it a seven out of ten.
