Easy SSO For All Applications, Mobile or Desktop
What do you like best about the product?
One of the must frustrating experiences of being on a corporate network is having to use multiple passwords between apps. Okta makes it easy & secure to log into many different apps. Authentication is handled two-form by a single password and text/numeric verification. Everything launches easy from commonly used systems like WebEx & Workday (your apps may vary!) to the least common like getting into expenses.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that sticks out to me. Rendering actually works well on mobile and even in low bandwidth situations. Naturally Okta will log you out if you are switching networks (wireless, vpn, etc), however, this is part of security folks!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease + security of access to applications which otherwise would have to be behind different passwords. Okta lives in the web and undoubtedly provides a flexible platform for many organizations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider cross compatibility with Okta. OAUTH 2.0, versatility in managing from the web, java/JS/node.js/PHP support all look promising to people who need to customize the feel of the system.
Excellent Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use, just give our employees the SSO URL and we're done. Fast and easy to deploy and assign new apps and practically every app we utilize in our organization is in Okta with a simple and straight forward guide. If a device gets lost/stolen it's very easy to remove the user from apps or even disable their access all together in case of termination. Their support is superb, call in and you are directed to an engineer within minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had one hiccup during deployment of a non-standard application that had some issues integrating with Okta, in the end it wasn't Okta's fault but that of the developer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a single easy to manage login for our business applications. Now users no longer have to manage/balance multiple username/passwords for different sites and applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a product that just "works" our of the box, Okta is it.

Configuring SSO is very simple.

I don't really have any complaints
I don't really have any complaints
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like the simplicity, ease of use, and it's not annoying (unlike LastPass)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't use LastPass. Okta is great - it just works.
Stormpath, easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
Stormpath is great and it makes my user management easy. I could implement an LDAP server and spend a bunch of time deploying and managing or I could spend less money and use Stormpath. They have already setup a bunch of resources for you use in your preferred language. They also make it easy to create a hierarchy of user groups and permission plus ad hoc attributes. All of it stored in JSON in their data store.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only gripe is it's a shared service unless you get the enterprise level. So you're lumped in with other clients and they do not guarantee uptime or response time on the service level you only get an SLA on the enterprise. So if another user is slamming it, you're gonna have a bad time. They do however offer discounts on enterprise level plans if you ask.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User management and user permissions in a multitude of apps. Also have a whole organizational hierarchy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the REST API to accomplish good results with mobile platforms, especially use the REST API if you don't want their canned login and signup form.
Okta SSO Review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, point your employees to a URL and enjoy not having to manage everything for every employee with a fine tooth comb! We also enjoy being able to build custom "chiclets" for in house apps, never having to give employees credentials to access certain features, and removing access without having to involve a user or their end point. This product has saved a lot of headaches and time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not too much to dislike about the product, but be ready to customize the "chiclets" for in house apps. I don't see a way around this issue, but their support was helpful when we had some small issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having to give out credentials to certain 3rd party or in house apps to end users. Ease of removing access when employees leave, reduced time spent with onboarding/offboarding.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan out your apps, confirm that they work with Okta natively. Go over AD setup with Okta beforehand so you're ready for a smooth transition.
Okta saved us time
What do you like best about the product?
ease of use and catalog of web based apps available
What do you dislike about the product?
can say that there is much that I dislike. Maybe the UI could use some work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the problem of integrating our internal AD with all our web based SaaS that we use. Including, HR, video conference and google apps.
Immediate benefits we realized was time. Time is money and we are able to do more with less.
