I have been using Okta Workforce Identity for single sign-on purposes to identify and authenticate my identity and access resources at AWS. Whenever I want to connect to Amazon Web Services, I provide a particular CLI Okta command, which opens a window where I am redirected to Okta Workforce Identity's single sign-on page. I authenticate myself through mobile, and once that authentication is completed, I am able to access a particular account according to the role that I have configured in the CLI command.

Secure access to cloud accounts has streamlined authentication and supports flexible MFA recovery
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The best features that Okta Workforce Identity offers are single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and privileged access management. It has reduced the time required for authentication and provided a secured way of accessing the Amazon web console.
What needs improvement?
The user interface could be enhanced to allow direct number selection for multi-factor authentication instead of typing out information.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Okta Workforce Identity for two years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used Ping, but I find Okta to be more reliable with a great user interface.
What was our ROI?
Time saved is a great example of return on investment. It has saved approximately 50 to 80 percent of our time.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing and licensing setup is typical, and since it follows a per-user, per-month subscription model, it is helpful.
What other advice do I have?
One of my team members lost his phone and was unable to do a direct Okta Workforce Identity login. At that time, email multi-factor authentication was useful and helped him to get logged into Okta Workforce Identity and authenticate himself. I do not see any areas for improvement as Okta Workforce Identity is at its best level currently. Okta Workforce Identity is reliable, and its user experience and user interface are great. I would recommend Okta Workforce Identity to others. My overall experience using Okta Workforce Identity has been excellent. I have given this review a rating of ten out of ten.
