Okta provides island access management solutions, which means that anyone who needs an IIM solution can get it through Okta. For example, if you have 30-40 applications and users that need to log in to all of them, Okta can integrate all of the applications into a single point of access where users can log in once and use the same session for all of their applications. Okta also provides multi-factor authentication and other security policies to protect your users and applications.

using okta everyday
Okta is a great and secure to to protect the access to applications.
Has multi-factor authentication and 99.9% service availability
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
We have multiple SSO protocols that we use for our different data centers. This is just one example of how we use Okta workforce identity to address our hybrid workforce needs. Apart from SSO, we also have Active Directory integrations that allow us to integrate with customer active directories and use active directory passwords for application sign-in and runtime authentication. This is called daily header authentication. This allows us to provide a centralized identity management platform for our users, regardless of where they are located or what applications they need to access. We can automate the process of adding users to Okta if they are activated in Active Directory, or if they are added to the database of applications or Active Directory in the last couple of days.
What needs improvement?
Currently, it has two-factor authentication. In addition to biometrics, it should offer three-factor authentication. Also, the training is too costly. Okta could reduce the training cost to make it easier.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution’s scalability is huge. It has 99.9% service availability. We cater this solution to enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is easy. Once you understand the steps, it's straightforward. There are three steps: enrolling users, removing tenants, and updating field metadata from outside the application and SaaS integration. Deployment depends on the number of occasions, testing, and the users. If you have 30,000 users, you will need two months. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
The solution is suitable for everyone, but it is locked up for a total number of years. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We have a high turnover rate. The processes are key to us. We are exploring how we can take advantage of Okta to help us streamline processes.

I rate Okta Workforce Identity a five out of ten. If you don't have critical use cases and do not want a full-fledged IGA solution, Okta is a good product. However, if you want to use certification, access requests, and an extensive connector framework, Okta does not provide it.
