Very Useful dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
Okta keeps all my work related and personal sites easily accessible and makes a single sign-on experience for them all. The 2 factor authentication outside of my network is a big plus. Once a site and it's credentials are added, I can update easily as needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the prompts via my browser can be intrusive, but once I decline it for a site, it does not come back.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WIth Okta, I do not have to worry about remembering every site and password that I need to access, whether in my office or mobile, and it is not overly complicated to manage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a user base of varying comfort levels with technology and password management, this is good solution that will satisfy beginners and your more security minded savvy users and IT department
Easy to access everything in one place with single-sign-on from any device from anywhere
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it stores all my passwords from countless applications but at the same time it's still completely secure and only I can get into my programs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I hate that it auto adds passwords and access info from every site I go to - sometimes it's lunch and I'm actually just trying to pay a bill from my bank account. I feel weird with that info auto saved into my okta account - that's not what it should be saving even if it is my work computer. After all, I could miss that it saved something!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single-sign-on is definitely the main one from what I can tell
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have trouble accessing files from anywhere or you're still on VPN, this might be the solution you've been looking for!
OKTA for businesses
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, icons make it easy to find the app you are trying to use. Single sign-in makes my life a whole lot easier at work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some app displays are kind of hidden when it comes to the grey written description below them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
E-mail, purchasing requisitions, and shipping of items. With a wide array of apps that can be accessed through Okta, it makes my day a whole lot easier than having to sign in to different sites to accomplish different goals.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It has made the work day flow much quicker than without it.
It makes life far easier for single sign on
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use from the user perspective -- Okta "magically" passes your credentials between applications and synches everything up on the back end.
From an administrative perspective, easy to integrate and administer

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really -- OKTA requires a certain amount of knowledge and skill to setup but that is to be expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business problem is multiple systems, multiple logins.
Benefits are an almost transparent user experience, FAR less issues with logins and passwords and very nice additional benefit of security and compliance

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works...and is mostly industry standard
Great Way to Stay Organized
What do you like best about the product?
I find that this program is great to keep all my other programs together. It allows me to not have to remember a bunch of different passwords. I have access to applications with just a few clicks.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be overwhelming. Sometimes it won't open as quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having to remember all of my passwords. Being able to have access to all my important programs in one place.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great way to keep everything in one place
Great dashboard for work apps
What do you like best about the product?
Pulls most of your work apps together in one place and you don't have to remember your password for each and every one with single sign-on.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike...maybe the ability to add even more apps?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't have to remember our passwords (or have different ones) for each work-related app we use.
SSO for all, and for all, we can sleep at night!
What do you like best about the product?
Its a great SSO platform that is easy to implement and scale for your organization. It gives your organization the tools to empower your organization to be very effective without getting tripped up with password logins or resets.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a learning curve and a certain amount of training involved to get a buy-in from the end-users. There needs to be a good rollout plan or your users will not understand that this new system is going to make their lives a lot easier. Once they get over the curve, they will also become advocates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single-sign on for dozens of SAML apps, password unlocks and resets, 2 factor authentication. Employees are reporting less login issues and have been able to work seamlessly with various app logins.
Mostly a user, but also support an Application on Okta - great from both perspectives.
What do you like best about the product?
Okta is really easy to use from the user perspective - just click the app icon and then get launched into your application. It also support 2FA which is an absolute must these days for security. I also manage an application that is on Okta (Salesforce) which integrates with Okta very easily.
We also implemented Salesforce/Okta at my last job and it was very easy to get going- less than 1 day.

What do you dislike about the product?
From the admin side, Okta doesn't support more complex Salesforce licensing permissions without more customization. Our company hasn't been able to figure this out yet, so we create the users from Okta and assign the initial profile, but not the more detailed "Groups" and "Permission" sets".
From the user perspective, I don't have any complaints.
One negative issue I experienced a couple months ago was that Okta went down for a couple hours - users could not access applications (even though the applications were running just fine).
Note that my review is focused on Employee SSO. Customer SSO is quite different.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have users only utilize a single username/password across all application. Increase security and control over who has access to various applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Okta is one of the biggest SSO providers in the market, you will definitely want to consider them.
Okta helps me keep all my passwords in one place, without looking at them
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I don't have to enter in my passwords over and over again. once I enter them in and they are in Okta, I only have one password to remember. I can pretty much forget all of my passwords and Okta will just remember them and put them in the appropriate fields for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it pops up every time I put a password in. If there was a way for me not to have to click anything and for it to just save it automatically with no pop-ups, that would be awesome! Everything else is pretty great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Where I work, there are a lot of different systems and sometimes it can take forever to be able to go from platform to platform because of all of the login gates. With Okta, I don't really have to worry about logging in, which cuts down on the time I take switching between platforms throughout my workflow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it, it will save you a lot of time logging into things!
Okta Review
What do you like best about the product?
Single Sign on is seamless. I can also see all my work apps at one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The process to add accounts can be improved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single sign on saves time if I forget a password and I do not have to reset it everytime I use a app or stayed logged in
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A lot of companies use different cloud companies like Zendesk, Google apps ADP etc. Okta provides a wonderful platform to combine the sign on process for all these login and is really useful.
