Secure set up
What do you like best about the product?
The process is user friendly. The set up is not very complex and adjustable based on what system you are setting up SSO for. Additionally it allows non SSO site passwords to be saved and offers users complex passwords as well. Offer Mobile SSO which is nice for management use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not every system is linked to use them. Would like to see it pushed out to a wider spectrum of business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SSO log in securely to sites that are of business need. It helps with faster/safer log in for users.
Feature-rich IAM solution
What do you like best about the product?
Okta is a highly flexible platform for managing several aspects of identity to SaaS and on-premises applications. What I like best is the ability to combine these features (SSO, MFA, sign-on rules, custom attributes, provisioning, directory services) into a complete identity management solution. While we have not yet explored using Okta as our central directory service, it also has that capability.
Sign-on rules are customizable, allowing you to, say, enforce MFA for employees in certain groups, or connecting from certain (i.e. remote) locations.

What do you dislike about the product?
The cost. While Okta delivers great value and releases enhancements frequently, the service is costly (particularly for cost-conscious organizations, such as not-for-profit organizations).
And while the support experience is generally pretty good, they are sometimes hesitant to troubleshoot SAML integrations too deeply, citing the fact that SAML sign-on success is more dependent upon the target service's use of the SAML assertion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identity security is the biggest issue we're solving with Okta. In addition to security features such as single sign-on and multifactor authentication, we're realizing that Okta is also a convenient centralized portal to several integrated SaaS applications in our environment.
We are also protecting administrative logins and applications.

Sometimes is ask multiple times of confirmation for logging in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Great experience
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to have a simple interface for all my applications makes onbording a simple experience for new employees.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't used other software, so I don't have much of a comparison.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onboarding problems. Before, we had to send many guides on all of the different applications and accounts you had to create. With Okta, it's simplified.
Secured With Okta
What do you like best about the product?
I like how direct it is as a MFA security procedure. Just takes a quick set up, through both the web and mobile app and you're in. When trying to log in, you'll get a push notification to approve and thats it very. Very simple process over the typical MFA thing is getting texted an email or code to enter
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a hassle to get into if you get locked out/change phones. But its not a big deal as usually IT support is a big help, just a bit meh that you can't fix being locked out yourself
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were not so much solving problems, it was just our method of logging in
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you dont leave your phone at home or delete the app!
Simple and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of okta is how easy it makes onboarding new employees. No need to share multiple passwords and set them up with a password manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
I primarily use the chrome extension and I think it could use a design overhaul and a shortcut to quickly search for apps to open. A desktop app would be even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing user accounts for new/leaving employees. Benefits are all the time that has beens saved not having to do manual work.
Indispensable SSO platform
What do you like best about the product?
I've grown to rely heavily on Okta as part of my work life over the course of several years.
The best feature as an employee is having all your work applications automatically provisioned and login access maintained in one place. Not having to create and remember passwords across dozens of services is a major efficiency gain, and a boon to company-wide security as well, I'd imagine.
Some of my other favorite features:
- The ability to group applications into tabs
- The Okta browser plug-in
- The ability to request new applications directly within Okta

What do you dislike about the product?
Suggestions for improvement:
- ability to customize the names of apps within Okta (the name that is displayed under each app icon)
- ability to customize logos/images of apps within Okta

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an end user, Okta eliminates the need to create and remember passwords for any applications that are integrated into its single-sign-on platform. It's certainly saved me a lot of time and potential headaches while working. Think of it as an enterprise-grade, super-charged password manager. Again, I'm just an end user and don't work in IT, but once setup, I'd imagine it streamlines a lot of the access provisioning process, so you've got benefits flowing in all directions.
All my day to day apps in one place, SSO
What do you like best about the product?
Single sign on is pretty clutch, just log into everything through Okta pretty much
What do you dislike about the product?
Gotta say, its a little confusing to navigate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SSO, ease of use across multiple platforms
