Focus on seamless integration and advanced security management enhances application usage and threat detection across multiple countries
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Okta Customer Identity focuses on providing top-notch identity management solutions. One of its most valuable features is its easy integration with various applications through its extensive application directory, offering hundreds or thousands of applications ready to configure. This integration is significantly easier compared to Microsoft Entra ID, where we encountered numerous issues. We particularly value its real-time reporting capabilities. For example, we detected cyberattacks from countries like Russia and Asia and were able to block those IP addresses and configure our system for more security. These advanced security features and reporting capabilities make it easy to manage.
What needs improvement?
Okta Customer Identity is continuously improving its solution. Since we started using it in 2019, we have observed numerous enhancements to increase security.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Okta Customer Identity for more than five years in our company.
How are customer service and support?
We had an issue a couple of years ago that was swiftly resolved by the support team, showing their efficiency. They also offer a comprehensive knowledge base on their website, which is very helpful for addressing any issues or queries.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We evaluated Microsoft Entra ID but chose Okta Customer Identity because it is easier to integrate with various applications. Microsoft Entra ID presented many challenges and it was more difficult to manage integration processes.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Okta Customer Identity is straightforward due to its well-architected solution. It is intuitive and user-friendly for administrators to manage.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Okta Customer Identity is expensive compared to other solutions, but we believe the investment is justified given the rising cybersecurity threats. Despite the cost, it's cheaper than the potential financial loss from a security breach.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated Microsoft Entra ID.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate Okta Customer Identity a ten. Okta Customer Identity is solely focused on identity management, which makes them excel in this area.

Not a lot. Sometimes, I’d struggle with getting my notification to sign in but all those bugs have been solved and the product works seamlessly now!

Provides robust identity and access management with seamless integration across hybrid setups

We use Okta for identity and access management for our internal services, cloud services or applications (SaaS). We have a hybrid setup since we have a global workforce, so we unify our IAM services.
What is most valuable?
The most useful features of Okta for my organization are identity and access management, single sign-on, and the flexibility for hybrid setups.
Okta enables multi-factor authentication, which enhances security, especially for SaaS applications. The integration capabilities of Okta are very flexible, with multiple protocols that can be integrated, especially for single sign-on. Any API can also be added, making it mature in terms of integrating with other identity providers, particularly Active Directory or Azure Entra ID.
What needs improvement?
Okta should have at least a local presense for countries that align with or comply with GDPR or data sovereignty, so there are no compliance or audit questions. There are integration issues with Office 365; such as groups not updating correctly in Okta. Okta should work on resolving them.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been in the organization for one year, and it has been more than three years now that Okta has been used.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
As long as you have Internet connection, there are no issues with the stability.

Okta is scalable and reliable, with no downtime or service disruption encountered over the years.
