Single sign-on has transformed employee access and now streamlines secure onboarding
Reviewed on Mar 19, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
In my current job, we do rely a lot on Okta Platform but we are not using some more advanced features from them; we have some basic subscription with Okta Platform regarding the single sign-on product they offer.
In both my previous job and in this one, we are using it as our main identity provider for our employees to log in into as many apps as possible with it, just to keep things as secure as possible and provide a good employee experience. Instead of our employees having to remember a lot of passwords and credentials, they rely on one single Okta Platform account to access as many systems as possible.
We are not relying on Okta Platform to secure access to cloud infrastructure, APIs, centralized workloads, or AI/GenAI services in our architecture at this time. I know there are ways to leverage Okta Platform for securing APIs and servers, but we mostly rely on Okta Platform for human access.
We do have some service accounts that we rely on, but I wouldn't say we are using more advanced features from Okta Platform. We do use those service accounts to integrate with other platforms, but I understand that the question was mostly about more advanced features from Okta Platform.
Both in my current job and the previous one, we were in Fintech companies in the financial space. One of the reasons to go with Okta Platform is because they are a well-reputed company, providing some attestations such as SOC 2. We try to go with a reliable, reputable company that other companies in the same space tend to choose, so it's a no-brainer to go with Okta Platform.
What is most valuable?
Okta Platform is the gold standard when it comes to identity providers and the single sign-on experience. I haven't tested similar solutions or any of the competitors, but I'm happy that both companies I worked for decided to go with Okta Platform, which is the gold standard. Most documentation out there provided by other platforms that integrate with Okta Platform usually has an Okta Platform sample; they document how to integrate with Okta Platform, and they may not do the same for integrating with other platforms. Their documentation is pretty good, and there are some communities built around Okta Platform as well. I participate on the Mac Admins Slack, which is a large IT community with a few channels dedicated to Okta Platform products or services, and there is also an Okta Admins community with Okta Platform employees engaged. I appreciate that they build a community around their product, and I can reach out to them on these other channels instead of having to open a ticket with them.
They have good documentation and there are subject matter experts engaging in these communities, including some Okta Platform employees. Their user interface is pretty good.
Okta Platform certainly speeds up the onboarding and offboarding process for employees. When we onboard them, in most cases we only need to grant them their Okta Platform credentials and they will be all set with their accesses. It's also easy to add new apps; if someone joins the company and they have all the apps they need, but then someone requests access to some other app, it's easy to grant them access to that app without jumping through hoops. Similarly, when it comes to offboarding, we know that deactivating their Okta Platform account is removing the keys to everything they have access to. In my current company, we don't have the lifecycle management product by Okta Platform, which automates the provisioning of users across platforms, but I used that at my previous job and it was a time-saving feature.
What needs improvement?
I have my own wish list of things that I would like Okta Platform to have. They released some features related to device access, such as Okta Device Access, which is an add-on that requires payment. I would expect Okta Platform to include more features over time in their less expensive subscriptions. I wish Okta Workflows could be included in a better way; we currently only have five workflows available, which doesn't provide much value. More workflows available in a paid subscription would be beneficial.
With AI permeating every service, I would like to have some kind of AI chatbot available on Okta Platform interface to ask questions about Okta Platform and how to integrate things. I relied on Google's AI chatbot to ask similar questions, but I would feel more confident asking them to an Okta Platform AI bot. I think someone mentioned there may be something coming from Okta Platform related to this.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Okta Platform for about five or six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't had any crashes, downtimes, or performance issues with Okta Platform; it has been very reliable for us.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would think Okta Platform is easy to scale; we are a small company, but we're growing and adding new employees regularly. I haven't faced any significant scalability issues yet, but I believe Okta Platform can be scaled easily.
How are customer service and support?
I have opened some tickets with Okta Platform customer support, but I often prefer to dive into documentation or reach out to relevant communities instead to find answers quickly. We do have access to their support, but I find it sometimes slower than engaging with knowledgeable people in those communities.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Okta Platform's technical support around an eight or nine. I've only opened a few tickets, and I have had a good experience receiving answers.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I didn't use any different product previously and didn't evaluate other solutions available in the market. We relied on Google for some single sign-on features but I haven't implemented Google's SAML solution in a broad way.
How was the initial setup?
In my previous job, I was kind of in charge of deploying Okta Platform to the entire company. I took a three-day training from Okta Platform, which helped transition me from being a non-believer to a believer in Okta Platform. Deployment was quite a challenge, but taking that training made a difference. In my current job, they already had a contract in place with Okta Platform, but the deployment was easier because we were primarily using the single sign-on feature and adaptive MFA; it was a simpler deployment overall.
What about the implementation team?
We went directly with Okta Platform and didn't go through partners or any marketplace for purchasing it.
What was our ROI?
I would think there are measurable improvements on our security and operational costs just by relying on Okta Platform. We're a small startup, and we aren't measuring these things closely, but I would think there are improvements due to our use of Okta Platform.
I don't have specific data points to share regarding ROI, as I am not much into hard data. Maybe I could get some numbers from colleagues or my manager eventually, but right now I don't have an answer for this.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Regarding my experience with the pricing aspect, I am not much into the pricing side of things, but I think Okta Platform is not an expensive company for the service they provide. We don't have Okta Workflows or Lifecycle Management due to cost, but the value we get from Okta Platform makes it a non-expensive expense for us.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I didn't use any different product previously and didn't evaluate other solutions available in the market.
What other advice do I have?
I have my own wish list of things that I would like Okta Platform to have.
They have good documentation and there are subject matter experts engaging in these communities, including some Okta Platform employees. Their user interface is pretty good.

Centralized identity has streamlined secure access and authentication but onboarding UI still needs work
Reviewed on Mar 16, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
I started using Okta Platform when I led a team to build software and we encountered security issues. We were looking for the best SSO software platform that we could integrate into the system, and during my research, I came across Okta Platform. I have used it for the current system I am building, and I am currently using it to help with the SSO integration flow and MFA.
I use AWS to access Okta Platform.
Okta Platform provides centralized identity, which is one of the major benefits. For example, I use AWS , but if I want to access Okta Platform, my login details for AWS are not needed. Using it for building systems for customers allows companies to access their systems seamlessly through the same procedure, which makes the workflow easy for them. One of the things that helped us was implementing role-based access. One of the systems I built and led the team to develop was a super admin dashboard that extends through a complete chain. We were able to use Okta Platform to manage roles, and this is one of the key areas where Okta Platform has helped me significantly.
Okta Platform helps me secure access to cloud infrastructure, APIs, and containerized workloads. I have not integrated with AI before, but in terms of app redirects and the systems involved, when a user tries to access their application, there is a redirect to Okta Platform, and then Okta Platform verifies the user. That is how my workflow functions. My first application was supported by this architecture, and studying Okta Platform helped me develop that architecture because my previous architecture was not effective. I learned to have users access the application and then get verified by Okta Platform, which provides the token for them to gain access to the system. I believe this uses SAML, and it really works well for us to accomplish all of that.
I have not tried using Okta Platform to protect non-human identities in my environment, such as service accounts, machine-to-machine access, or AI agents, and I have not explored that area.
In the current system I am working on, which is one of the biggest and most complex projects I have completed, Okta Platform helps me address industry and regulatory requirements. The way the system is structured with user data, funds, and role-based assessments, my greatest satisfaction is that I can use Okta Platform to seamlessly manage all of this. Going forward, if I can use Okta Platform in AI and explore AI integrations, I believe I will be very satisfied.
What is most valuable?
I appreciate the authentication flow of Okta Platform because it is seamless and provides insight into how to easily automate the workflow for authentication and MFA so that it is easy to use within systems where one password or one user detail can be used to access various platforms. The workflow with Okta Platform is something I value.
Okta Platform provides centralized identity, which is a significant benefit. For instance, I use AWS, but if I want to access Okta Platform, my login details for AWS are not required. Using it for building systems for customers allows companies to access their systems seamlessly through the same procedure, which makes the workflow easy for them. Role-based access is one of the things that Okta Platform helped us implement. One of the systems I built and led the team to develop had a super admin dashboard that extends through a complete chain. We were able to use Okta Platform to manage roles, and this is one of the key areas where Okta Platform has helped me.
What needs improvement?
Before I can answer the question about specific improvements I would like to see in Okta Platform, I also have a question: how well does Okta Platform integrate with SIEMs? I have used Sentinel very well with Okta Platform, but I have not tried other systems. Based on the projects I work on, the demands change, and I do not have a specific company that I work with. If I am not using Sentinel and I want to use another SIEM , how well does Okta Platform integrate into it?
When I started, there were some UI challenges. The UI could be improved to make it better because I had to watch many tutorials to become familiar with their UI flow and integrations. Once I became familiar with the UI, it was good. Many beginners may not pick it up easily. I have experience with other systems before coming to Okta Platform, so it was easier for me. If someone is a beginner with Okta Platform, the UI should be simplified, and the language used should make it easier for them to understand the concepts and what they are trying to do. I believe this would really help.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Okta Platform since September of last year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We monitor the system, and based on our implementation, we have had several challenges where our systems stopped working. We monitor it through various platforms with our DevOps team. If any issues arise, we are able to catch them before they cause complications, so we do not have any issues there.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Currently, we are using Okta Platform at a moderate level, and we are considering scaling it depending on the user data we collect and the number of users coming into the system. However, we have not reached that point yet, so I cannot provide much comment about its scalability at this time. I believe that with the help of AWS and other platforms, we should be able to scale it seamlessly.
How are customer service and support?
I have not interacted with the technical support or customer service of Okta Platform. I hardly go to customer service because of the community available for me to access other information.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Negative
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not used any other solution of the same kind prior to working with Okta Platform.
How was the initial setup?
For my first time, the deployment process of Okta Platform had challenges because I was a beginner and I did not put many configurations in checks. It really did not have anything to do with Okta Platform, but rather how I configured my back-end resources.
What about the implementation team?
Someone helped me with the integration during the deployment of Okta Platform. I did not do it myself.
What was our ROI?
Personally, for the companies I have worked for, I cannot provide information regarding ROI with Okta Platform, but personally, it is good for me. My return on investment would be the fact that it makes my work easier and gives me a lot of room to integrate. It provides good architecture to prevent excessive loss of money and capital moving from one system to another. For me, who builds systems, the return on investment is that it cuts costs for me and makes it easier. For the company, the benefit is that I can use Okta Platform for them to manage their expenses.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The only service that I used before choosing Okta Platform was a spam protection system that helps with some security. That was the only other solution I considered.
What other advice do I have?
Okta Platform helps me secure access to cloud infrastructure, APIs, and containerized workloads. I have not integrated with AI before, but in terms of app redirects and the systems involved, when a user tries to access their application, there is a redirect to Okta Platform, and then Okta Platform verifies the user. That is how my workflow functions. My first application was supported by this architecture, and studying Okta Platform helped me develop that architecture because my previous architecture was not effective. I learned to have users access the application and then get verified by Okta Platform, which provides the token for them to gain access to the system. I believe this uses SAML, and it really works well for us to accomplish all of that.
I would advise other organizations considering Okta Platform to prioritize security. The world of technology has evolved, and AI has advanced the work developers do. One belief I hold as an engineer is that security will not change; AI can never take that away from us. Therefore, if you are building anything, you should consider security and use the right tools to make your work easier. I recommend Okta Platform for SSO and role-based access control (RBAC) features.
Because I have not been using Okta Platform for a long time, I give it a seven on a scale of one to ten as a product solution, but this rating may change as I explore its features further. I give it a seven because I have not tried scaling systems yet, and there are many features and opportunities in Okta Platform that I am yet to explore. Based on my limited experience, I am giving it a seven, but as I explore more, I believe I could give it a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Single sign-on has unified access and saves hours in onboarding for all our applications
Reviewed on Mar 14, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Okta Platform is single sign-on.
As a specific example of how I use Okta Platform for email sign-on in my organization, we log in to our browser and then enter our username and password, and then we receive a Google Authenticator code, a six-digit code which we enter, and then we can log in.
What is most valuable?
Okta Platform offers features that allow you to log in to multiple applications, including GitLab , Looker , Workday , and many more with single sign-on.
Out of those applications, single sign-on is the feature I find most valuable because it saves a significant amount of time for the user. If any new user is onboarded into the company, instead of giving them access to all the applications individually, we add them into the Okta Platform group and that is all that is needed. They can access all the company-based applications within approximately one minute.
Okta Platform has positively impacted our organization as it eliminates the manual intervention work of providing access to new users who join the company to multiple applications. Instead of that process, providing access to Okta Platform allows them to access all our applications. The time saved is approximately two to three hours.
What needs improvement?
I do not see any bugs or improvements needed in Okta Platform because it functions perfectly, and I have not faced any issues with Okta Platform in my career.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Okta Platform for seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Okta Platform is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Okta Platform's scalability is good.
How are customer service and support?
I have not faced any issues, so I have never contacted customer support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not previously use a different solution before Okta Platform.
How was the initial setup?
I have not set up Okta Platform in my organization because when I joined, it was already deployed.
What about the implementation team?
There is no specific team mentioned for the implementation.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment because only a few people are required to manage Okta Platform, and it saves a significant amount of time for us, approximately four to five hours.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is no information provided regarding the setup cost.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
There is no mention of any alternate solutions being considered.
What other advice do I have?
If you are looking for single sign-on, then Okta Platform is the best option; you can confidently go with it.
Okta Platform could be a little faster. I have given this solution an overall rating of 10 out of 10.
