Centralized access has streamlined secure authentication and accelerated cloud integrations
What is our primary use case?
The main use cases for Okta Platform are authorization and authentication. From the SSO , I can understand if the person logging in is authorized to redirect to the correct URL. The second use case involves JWT token generation, which includes all the information about the user, such as SSO Gmail and other information about the permissions that person has. When I get that JWT from the code, I can access more user information and authenticate for other services using 3LO.
I haven't handled 2LO, which refers to service-to-service authentication. Okta Platform provides protection for non-human identities in our environment through 2LO, enabling services to call databases or APIs without human involvement, which allows M2M access. For instance, if an MCP gateway needs to access tools without human interaction, Okta Platform offers this option.
One example of how Okta Platform helps secure access to cloud infrastructure is through the AWS service called Bedrock Agent Core, where I can directly integrate with Okta Platform. AWS provides an option for this integration, allowing us to connect our API after authentication.
What is most valuable?
The best features of Okta Platform are fast authentication and smooth integration with AD groups. AD groups control the permissions people have in our enterprise through our in-house software called CIAM . This integration with Okta Platform is very smooth, the authentication is fast and reliable, and I can retrieve the JWT token, 3LO, and 2LO.
The benefit of using Okta Platform is that for authentication-related things, I don't have to consider build versus buy since this product is reliable for the majority of our applications, significantly reducing our time to develop authentication-related features.
I have seen an improvement in our cloud-based workloads since implementing Okta Platform, which provides faster connections than traditional applications. Previously, I used Redis cached and session-based systems, but through Okta Platform, I work with JWTs for a faster experience.
What needs improvement?
To improve Okta Platform, I think they should enhance the 2LO service-to-service aspect by integrating more features on the MCP side, allowing for authentication of containers running on the gateway. Instead of just client ID and secret, they could add a Vault-like storage for keys in integrated AWS services to smoothen the process.
The deployment experience with Okta Platform is generally smooth. They provide Okta Preview for non-production deployments, and I suggest they implement a green and blue rollback mechanism in production to avoid any delays for application teams during real deployments.
For how long have I used the solution?
As a developer, I have been using Okta Platform for around four months. As an employee doing SSO and all, it has been more than a year, so it is around one year as an employee and four to five months as a developer.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Okta Platform is stable, as I haven't faced any authentication issues in the year I have been using it. It works smoothly even with hundreds of applications and hasn't encountered production issues.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and technical support for Okta Platform at the enterprise level are good, as I primarily rely on consultants who manage these interactions effectively.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before choosing Okta Platform, I evaluated other solutions like AWS Cognito. The main advantages of Okta Platform are its JWT option, which is passwordless, and its good integration with Vault and Terraform , while Cognito lacks such features, leading to slower session-based processes.
From the start in our application, I have been using Okta Platform and still maintain some session-based systems in the cache layer.
How was the initial setup?
I was not involved in the initial setup of Okta Platform. After the setup was completed, I have been using it for over a year, so I cannot comment on any challenges faced during the initial setup.
What about the implementation team?
I employed consultants from other organizations to assist with the deployment of Okta Platform, which has been effective.
What was our ROI?
Financially, I cannot provide specific data points for the return on investment with Okta Platform. However, technically, managing these aspects myself would incur server costs for generating JWT tokens and reliability improvements through the OAuth mechanism provided by Okta Platform reduce my technical load.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
My company purchases Okta Platform through direct Okta, not through the AWS Marketplace . It is the Okta Platform Enterprise SaaS offering.
What other advice do I have?
My advice for companies considering Okta Platform is to make it more platform-agnostic. While Cognito is limited to AWS, Okta Platform's flexibility allows us to avoid being restricted to a single cloud provider. I would rate this review as a 9 out of 10.
