Okta SSO solution review
What do you like best about the product?
Okta makes it easy to configure SAML and allows easy AD integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support and documentation has room for improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SSO to organization appa
Good and efficient
What do you like best about the product?
Its the first place I log onto when I get to work and instantly logs me into all the different applications connected to it and I never have to worry about different user names and passwords
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall I can't really say I dislike anything about it but it can be a little buggy if I directly log into an application without logging into Okta first, which is a minor inconvenience more than anything else but other than that nothing else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing the number of different applications I have to login to and the different usernames and passwords I have to manage
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've used Okta for a few years now across 2 different companies but to be fair haven't used any alternative solutions so have no basis for comparison, from all the research I've done its the market leader and as an organisation and as a user we/I have never had any problems so haven't had the need to look in other places for alternatives but I assume Okta was brought on board after a thorough evaluation.
Make your life easier and start with Okta!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use is one thing but the integrations that their engineers have created are second to none. Put simply, life is simple with Okta. From the intuitive interface to the large number of apps ready out of the box. The access management is amazing. The level of granularity is better than anything else i've seen. Its a great quality of life improvement for both users and admins.
What do you dislike about the product?
All of my concerns have been addressed by updates. No delete button was one but its coming. They really seem to listen to their customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deploying apps, securing apps, provisioning users, deprovisioning users.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the apps that you currently use and make sure they have a presence in Okta. If they don't mention that to your sales rep.
Okta Mobility Management
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, ease of administration! Manages just the right amount of features for our users to make the IT department happy, and lets our users feel like they are still in control of their devices. Great extension of their desktop SaaS solution for Android and iOS devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that 3rd party apps would update faster to be compatible with the Okta Mobile app. Apps like Asana, which our users need on a daily basis, will not allow for the push through of passwords from the Okta mobile app to the Asana mobile app, making the whole experience on mobile cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We didn't have to train our users too much on how to use Okta mobile because they were already using the Desktop client daily, and as an admin, managing Okta Mobility Management is a seamless experience just like managing the Desktop client.
Allows you to have a single sign on for all your apps
What do you like best about the product?
i like the fact that is allows you to have a single sign on
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Mostly I just use it for signing on
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having to remember multiple passwords
Let's me access work files from my phone
What do you like best about the product?
So okra is cool because if I'm at a conference or otherwise away from the office, I can literally access all my files on my phone. You could do this with google apps too, but what I like about okra is its a separate app, so I can access work files on my personal mobile devices without connecting my personal and professional google accounts. Okra gives me access to my files, box, and other important info I tend to need to pull up in remote meetings and while networking and so forth.
What do you dislike about the product?
Okta is clunky in the sense it has a lot of verification steps. Not tons, but just a lot of clicks you have to get through. Yu have to enter your code super fast or else it times out and you get another, so it can add some pressure there, but not a whole bunch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can access files remotely. That's the really big benefit here. Ivan show coworkers files in their office or at lunch or conferences without carrying a clunky computer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have google you might find Okta redundant for information access, but it is pretty neat to have both.
Rock solid SSO with a lot of innovative extras
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent user experience for end users and admins
What do you dislike about the product?
Delivery dates on features are often later than advertised
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking to move to a SAML 2.0 compliant SSO service while also replacing our on premises MFA solution. Okta met both of these requirements.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I believe Okta is a company on the rise. They provide a rock solid SSO solution with MFA included, but have expanded their offerings beyond just SSO. Critical to our business is their deep integrations with service providers like Microsoft, Google and SalesForce. This allows us to provision accounts directly from Okta rather than using one off, scheduled sync scripts which are running on a server no one knows about. They are also thought leaders in driving identity and strong authentication forward.
Security with Ease
What do you like best about the product?
So many things. The best thing would be how quick updates come out with new features and how much they listen to their customers. From EMM to SSO they do so much on a daily basis to help us admins server our customers better.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isnt much that i dislike. I know some other vendors may have some other bells and whistles that would be nice to haves but nothing beats this new Okta empire that has begun.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving SSO and Mobile management problems. We realized that ours users can have a much better experience when sitting at their desks or on the go with mobile devices. Using Okta gives our users fast secure access to their apps wherever they are.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. With Okta you cant go wrong. They are very open and willing to listen to everything you have to say and will most likely build it into upcoming releases. I have seen many of my requests answered.
Excellent, Cannot fault!
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to use. There is very good communication between the company support and ourselves. A very good SSO solution.
Okta Integration with Office365 is very easy to setup and the documentation is very easy to follow if you get stuck.
The mobile authentication through okta verify adds a great extra layer of authentication and is easy to configure.
Overall i cannot complain, from the setup to the customization of the okta home pages it is all very easy to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to come across much/anything to really dislike with okta. I must admit it is one of the software that we use where i don't talk to the reps or deal with the money side of it, but from the management to the customization i cannot find fault.
The mobile authentication can sometimes be a little temperamental when resetting or changing somebody over to a new phone.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SSO makes it easier for our users to not have to worry about multiple passwords, it takes the stress away for many employees.
The home page on okta makes it easy to set a default for all users, giving them a one-click option to go to everything they need helps speed up new users familiarity with our software greatly.

Single sign on to all your apps with Okta
What do you like best about the product?
Okta is a great place to launch all of your apps from one location. Using the single sing-on feature is great because all I have to do is log into Okta and click on whatever app I want to launch. This works even for apps that us a different login, which makes it nice because I don't have to log into each individual app every time I want to open a new one. There are a lot of apps available, including social media and some of my personal apps. The mobile version of Okta is also very easy to use. The Chrome extension is also a nice add-on as it allows to open apps with a drop-down menu, rather than having to log in to the Okay website.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the apps do not work on the mobile platform and may not work in the website without the Chrome extension. It is also important to make sure that, if there is a separate login for specific apps within Okta, that those are set up prior to attempting to log in, other wise you will not log in properly and if that page has a limit to failed logins, you could be locked out. It is also important to update the login information is changed within those apps. I have personally experienced this when attempting to log into ADP. It is also difficult to determine which apps are available for Okta because the only search bar I can find only finds apps I currently have on my page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is the first time I've used Okta and did not realize there was a business problem to solve. Now that I have been using it, I feel as though all organizations should be utilizing this or a similar type of tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the Chrome extension and mobile app. Also, when setting up apps with separate login, it is important to set up the app appropriately so that it uses that specific app's login, rather than the Okta login (click on the gear in the upper right of the app icon).
