Dimension | Description | Cost/12 months |
|---|---|---|
Starter - 100 users | Starting your Identity journey? Put a strong foundation in place. | $7,200.00 |

Dimensions summary
You buy this identity platform through an annual contract, priced per user. Two options are available. The Starter tier at 100 users sets up a base identity foundation. The Essentials tier at 1,000 users adds more capabilities for organizations scaling their identity needs. The tiers differ by user count and included features, so pricing scales with the number of users you cover and the tier you select. Both are billed annually. To move up, you generally add more suite licenses, since all products in a suite share the same subscription count.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A user is one person you cover under the platform, such as an employee, contractor, or partner. Each person counts as one licensed user. The Starter tier covers 100 users; the Essentials tier covers 1,000 users. All products in your suite share the same user subscription count.
Starter includes Single Sign-On, Multi-Factor Authentication, Universal Directory, and a set number of Workflows. Essentials adds everything in Starter plus Adaptive MFA, Privileged Access, Lifecycle Management, Access Governance, and more Workflows. Choosing Essentials raises both your covered users and included feature set.
In most cases you add more suite licenses, since all products share the same subscription count. This keeps coverage consistent across the suite. A few exceptions apply, such as Workflows, Privileged Access, and Machine-to-Machine tokens, which can scale separately.

Centralized access controls have simplified securing cloud workloads and non-human identities
Reviewed on Oct 22, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
I have worked on all components of Okta Platform starting from Access Gateway to Identity Governance to Okta PAM solution to Okta Workflow. I have worked end-to-end on these components, including requirements gathering, drawing the architecture out, building it out, testing it, deploying to production, and hypercare. I deal with the end-to-end process independently.
For securing access to cloud infrastructure, Okta Platform helps by using an authorization server so we can utilize modern protocols such as SAML or OAuth to have those chains generated, client credential flow or authorization code flows to secure the application. When it comes to AI agents, we can onboard them to Okta Platform. We can run certification campaigns around these AI agents so that these agents are not over-privileged. We have MCP gateways which we can leverage to act as a gateway between the application and MCP gateway. We can secure which particular application or agent is allowed to call which particular MCP gateway and the tools inside it. That is how Okta Platform secures it on a high level.
Okta Platform can help to secure access to non-human identities in my environment, such as service accounts, machine-to-machine access, or AI agents.
Regarding use cases where Okta Platform helps protect non-human identities, when it comes to agent onboarding, that is what it does for non-human identities. It takes in the non-human identities in the form of agents. The XA protocol also plays a key role inside it. Currently, Okta Platform also has the OAuth OBO token which works in case of non-human identities. I have built POCs and also worked in some applications that consume it. I have experienced building solutions regarding non-human identities with Okta Platform.
Regarding the specific industry or regulatory requirements, currently the projects that I am working on include one in the healthcare industry and another in the entertainment industry. They are leaders in their respective industries. Okta Platform is being implemented there.
Regarding AWS services that are integrated or secured through Okta Platform, it is not direct. We are not securing Lambda directly from my current project. We are using Okta Platform to transform the logs to a SIEM platform using Lambda and AWS Gateway.
How has it helped my organization?
I have noticed measurable security and operational improvements in my cloud-based workloads since implementing Okta Platform. Previously when it was being handled by some other configuration logic or tool, it was not able to perform up to the mark. Sometimes the configuration was difficult for it to handle. With onboarding to Okta Platform, it became easier to handle those scenarios. The security rails and the logs around Okta Platform are very good. It has detailed information, so everything becomes easier with Okta Platform.
What is most valuable?
What I appreciate about Okta Platform is that it is currently moving towards agents. Agent Gateways are something that Okta Platform is moving forward with. Okta Platform has come up with an XA solution that is modernly used for agent communication and it is leading in the market. There are other technologies that are following, but Okta Platform is currently leading that space.
The key benefits that I have seen from using Okta Platform are that it is easy to configure. There are a lot of customizations that are available. When it comes to orchestration tools, using them we can do many use cases which might not be possible out of the box. It has a lot of flexibility towards it.
What needs improvement?
Okta Platform is moving towards AI, which is good, but that space is very new. Okta Platform can understand the use case better and move faster in that field because the AI agent has many gaps. The non-human identity part has many gaps which Okta Platform can fulfill.
Apart from the AI aspect, there are missing features in Okta Platform that I would like to see included in the future or enhanced. The MCP gateway onboarding for agents can be made smoother. Agents already have the capabilities to link with Okta Privilege Access for key management. If it could be made easier to map those out, it would be easier to adopt.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Okta Platform for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Regarding the performance and scalability aspect of Okta Platform, it performs very well. It has a very good runtime. Okta Platform has committed to 99.99% uptime that it will be online. When it comes to Okta Workflow, when there are too many flows running at once, those get delayed. Sometimes some of the values in the workflows are not populated correctly. I have opened a ticket with Okta Platform regarding this. It is some system bugs that they cannot fix.
How are customer service and support?
On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the best, I would recommend the technical support of Okta Platform a solid 9.5. The response is very active. Even if the person who is assigned is not able to help, they take help from their subject matter experts of those products to help us out. The technical support of Okta Platform is very good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Apart from Okta Platform, I have worked with Auth0, which is a product of Okta itself. I have also worked with Ping and ForgeRock.
How was the initial setup?
Regarding the deployment aspect, it is not that difficult with Okta Platform. The reason being Okta Platform is a cloud solution and it is not on-premises. Because it is on the cloud, it is very easy to deploy it.
What was our ROI?
I have not seen any ROI with Okta Platform.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing part of Okta Platform is that from the licensing perspective, from what I am aware, it is competitive. Some of the tools are more expensive and the pricing is okay. It is not too great, it is not too bad from what I know.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The key differences, both pros and cons of Okta Platform in comparison to Ping technologies or ForgeRock that I used are that Ping has more customizable options in regard to journeys. Okta Platform does not provide those customizable journeys. Ping has more towards it. Ping can do identity verification, which Okta Platform lacks. Okta Platform cannot do ID verification built-in and they have to rely on other third-party vendors such as Persona to do identity verification. There are some areas which Okta Platform can still improve with respect to identity verification.
What other advice do I have?
I work with Okta Platform as an AWS version. I have worked on the AWS hosted version of it, not Azure.
For the procurement of Okta Platform, I work for the client and they purchased it from Okta Platform. The way they were reached out is that they have been using Okta Platform for almost five to six years now. They have a strong relationship with Okta Platform and that is how they got it.
Given my varied experience with Okta Platform technologies, one of the key areas that organizations lack currently is security. Many organizations take it lightly because it does not affect their features in a way. But security is one of the key factors. Okta Platform is a better approach to implementing Identity Access Management. As they do not have to rely on versioning, you can directly integrate with Okta Platform and it will help you manage the users, groups, and everything at a central place. Because it is being managed by a separate team, there are less chances of having bugs and it is easier to maintain those.

Okta Streamlines Access Management with Secure, Hassle-Free SSO and MFA
Reviewed on Oct 21, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Okta is how it makes my day-to-day IT work easier by simplifying user access and application management. I find it especially useful to have access managed centrally, as it helps me onboard users, manage permissions, and troubleshoot access issues more efficiently. I also appreciate how SSO and MFA improve security without making things unnecessarily complicated for employees. Overall, Okta helps me save time, maintain better control over access, and make IT operations smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I find challenging about Okta is troubleshooting application access and user provisioning issues. Sometimes, when a user cannot access an application or an attribute is not mapped correctly, it takes several steps to identify whether the issue is related to the user assignment, group membership, attribute mapping, or application configuration. More detailed error messages and a clearer troubleshooting process would make it easier to identify the root cause and resolve issues faster. I would also appreciate a more streamlined way to review access permissions across applications, which would help me manage user access more efficiently and maintain least-privilege security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta helps me manage user access more efficiently by centralizing application assignments, group memberships, and access permissions. In my IT operations role, I work with user access requests, application assignments, and attribute configurations, which has helped me better understand how access is managed across different applications. It also helps me troubleshoot login and provisioning issues and ensure users have the appropriate access based on their roles. I find Okta valuable for streamlining onboarding and offboarding, reducing manual work, and supporting our least-privilege security goals. Overall, it gives me better visibility and control over access while helping me provide faster IT support to employees.

Intuitive Admin Experience with Reliable Performance and Outstanding Support
Reviewed on Oct 04, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Okta provides an exceptionally intuitive experience for administrators, streamlining the management of users, groups, applications, AI agents, and APIs. The platform's performance is consistently reliable, and leveraging Okta Workflows has been a game-changer for automating our lifecycle management processes. Beyond the product itself, their customer support is outstanding. The onboarding process was seamless, and their technical support team is always responsive, knowledgeable, and quick to resolve any issues, backed by extensive and easy-to-follow documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface feels quite dated and lacks a modern, polished aesthetic. While it is highly functional, the platform would benefit greatly from a refreshed UX/UI design featuring better color contrast, which would make the admin console more visually engaging and easier to navigate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Okta, managing user access and application provisioning was a highly manual and time-consuming process. Okta solves this by fully automating our user and application lifecycle management. This benefits us by ensuring secure, day-one access for new hires and immediate access revocation upon departure, saving our IT team countless hours of manual work each week.

Reliable Identity Management with Robust Security
Reviewed on Sep 24, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate Okta for several reasons. It's our identity platform, and I find it very stable and easy to use. The protections it offers, like seamless app access and phishing-resistant login methods, are very valuable to us. Since we have over 2000 users, uptime is crucial, and Okta delivers on that. Additionally, it allows us to autogrant app access to users while ensuring security with multi-factor authentication and password-less login methods.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I get a little lost in the policies, like authentication and password rules, and how they work together. It's hard to figure out which one takes precedence. We're also fans of the new AI features being released, but we're worried about the cost. Having outdated policies for a long time, like those marked 'legacy', is also a bit challenging. A regular review with an engineer could really help keep things on track.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta gives seamless app access and phishing-resistant logins, ensuring security with MFA and password-less methods for over 2000 users.
