Leverage reliable server management for seamless identity operations
What is our primary use case?
In Okta Customer Identity, I primarily respond to application handling with around three thousand applications. This includes handling internal applications for permanent employees and third-party applications for contractors. I also work on certification renewal annually and the setup of SSO pages to enhance security.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable aspect of Okta Customer Identity is the server's reliability, especially for directory and node management. I set up different directories for traffic redirection, ensuring backup when a data center faces issues and maintaining seamless operations.
What needs improvement?
There is room for Okta Customer Identity to improve by increasing the reliability for the server end, creating more directories, and focusing on internal users rather than external or contract-based ones. Additionally, extending idle session times from ten milliseconds to at least forty-five seconds would be beneficial. It is also suggested that patches be applied annually rather than quarterly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Okta Customer Identity for nine months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability of Okta Customer Identity as eight. It has allowed us to manage identity signals effectively, though some customers are resistant to certain procedures, making stability slightly challenging.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the scalability of Okta at nine. I have a clear understanding of the architecture and processes involved, which allows for effective scaling to manage user privileges, application logins, and leveraging tools like Splunk for efficient data management.
How are customer service and support?
We have a strong internal support system including application support, data center, and IDM teams. However, direct interaction with Okta's technical support is minimal as we typically manage internally.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before using Okta Customer Identity, I did not utilize a different solution for these use cases.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Okta Customer Identity took about five hours and required a team of three.
What about the implementation team?
We needed three people for deployment and now require about four people for maintenance, including rotations among five to six employees.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing for Okta Customer Identity is very economical. It is much cheaper compared to Oracle Access Manager, and the company focuses on internal training to mitigate additional certification costs.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated Microsoft Azure as another option, but both Okta and Azure are quite similar in functionality.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I rate Okta Customer Identity as nine. Although there are some areas of improvement, its pricing and scalability make it a preferred choice for managing user identity and applications.
