Strong SSO and Robust MFA for a More Secure Environment
What do you like best about the product?
Strong SSO capabilities and robust MFA help secure the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The high costs have affected our organization’s use of OKTA. In addition, the initial configuration is quite complex and takes significant effort to set up properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped in reduciing the password reset tickets for the L2 engineers.Also it is more secure and safe. The adaptiveness has helped us a alot.
Single sign-on has simplified access and lifecycle management for all corporate applications
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
It is very easy to log in to all my various corporate accounts through Okta Platform. This helps me because I do not need to have any password. I just simply log into Okta Platform which has a single sign-on capability.
This helps us whenever our employees, our new employees come into the company. On first login, when they come into the company, they have access to all our corporate accounts already once they have their corporate account. They can log into their various productivity and corporate applications. This helps ease the burden from our IT support team to have to onboard someone manually. When someone leaves the company, having an IT team have to remove their access one by one is a very difficult process. Okta Platform Lifecycle Management helps us offboard those employees who have left the company more easily.
What needs improvement?
It would be great if there were a way to save even my social media passwords and other passwords through Okta Platform and single sign-on through Okta Platform in the future. I do not think they have this capability just yet.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this for six years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
There were some alternatives like JumpCloud and Ping Identity that we were evaluating. However, since we are a partner, we prefer Okta Platform. There is a bias towards Okta Platform.
How was the initial setup?
I would say the setup difficulty was in the middle, depending on circumstances. For us, it was quite simple because we had everything in place. We just needed to integrate the Single Sign-on and the directory with our Google Workspace or our current IDP. It was pretty straightforward and took a couple of days.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Regarding pricing, as mentioned, we are a partner, so we do get a special big discount as a partner versus other customers.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
There were some alternatives like JumpCloud and Ping Identity that we were evaluating.
What other advice do I have?
Okta Platform is a great product and one of the best. We are a partner and have been using it for six years. We have four engineers on our team. We do not use the PAM and do not need it. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

Great for Centralized Access, Needs More Personalization
What do you like best about the product?
Okta also makes it easy for me to log in to essential systems like Costpoint, both online and on mobile, without having to remember multiple passwords. In addition, I can quickly access UKG through Okta, which keeps all of my HR information—such as payroll, PTO, and personal records—organized in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I dislike about Okta is that I can’t customize or style the app. I’d find it really helpful to personalize the interface or tweak the layout so it better matches my preferences, but the platform simply doesn’t offer those options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta helps me address several important access and convenience challenges, and it has made my day-to-day workflow much smoother. One of the biggest benefits is being able to quickly find my office floor plan through OfficeSpace, which I access via Okta. That makes navigating my work environment simpler and more efficient.
Okta also streamlines how I sign in to essential systems like Costpoint, both online and on mobile, without needing to remember multiple passwords. On top of that, I can easily access UKG through Okta, which keeps my HR information—such as payroll, PTO, and personal records—organized in one place. Having these tools available through a single secure platform saves me time and helps me stay productive throughout the day.

Seamless Setup and Unmatched Access Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like the single sign-on feature the most because it removes the need to remember over a dozen credentials. Okta helps with managing logins, applications, and onboarding. The setup was seamless and very easy. We switched from OneLogin to access a wider range of features and more pre-built integrations.

I cannot think of anything that I dislike about Okta.

What I like most about Okta is how easy it is to use as a central hub for our internal tools. Having everything in one place makes daily work more efficient. The efficiency and the single sign-on experience is smooth and reliable, and it's especially helpful when switching between multiple applications throughout the day. I also found the initial setup of Okta very easy, with a really simple interface that's easy to maneuver.

Effortless Security with a Few Password Hassles
What do you like best about the product?
I like Okta for how simple it is to use. You can have multiple accounts and there are various ways to verify your identity. I can add Duo Authenticator to almost any app if I wanted to and Okta does not charge for that. The initial setup was easy by scanning a QR code.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a pain to have to change my passwords as often as I have to. It's hard to remember new passwords all of the time. If we have to verify it is us each log in I don't understand why we have to change the password so often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Okta for Duo authentication and access to all my work apps, which ensures no unauthorized access. I appreciate its simplicity in managing multiple accounts and identity verifications.
