All-in-One Convenience with a Super Handy Chrome Extension
What do you like best about the product?
Everything I need is gathered in one convenient place, which I really appreciate. The Chrome extension is especially useful, as it allows me to quickly access the apps I use without cluttering up my bookmarks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly can't think of any improvements - it really is excellent just the way it is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This saves me time because I only need to go to one place to access everything I need.
A powerful and scalable IAM solution for modern organizations
What do you like best about the product?
Okta provides a centralized and reliable identity platform that significantly simplifies user access management across many SaaS applications. The SSO experience is seamless, MFA policies are flexible, and user lifecycle automation (provisioning, deprovisioning, group-based access) saves a lot of operational time. Integration with popular tools like Google Workspace, Jira, Slack, and many others is straightforward and well-documented. Overall, it improves both security posture and IT efficiency.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some advanced configurations (such as complex group rules, automation edge cases, or troubleshooting provisioning issues) can be unintuitive and require deeper documentation or support involvement. Pricing can become expensive as the organization scales and additional modules are needed. Also, the admin UI could be more consistent and clearer in some advanced workflows
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta solves the challenge of managing identities across many cloud applications by acting as a single source of truth for access control. It reduces manual work, minimizes human error, improves onboarding and offboarding speed, and enforces consistent security policies such as MFA and conditional access. This results in better security, faster employee productivity, and easier compliance management.
Centralized access has improved workforce security and streamlines employee lifecycle management
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The Single Sign-On and Multi-factor Authentication features are the best that Okta Platform offers. These features make my work easier and more secure by automating joiner, mover, and leaver processes, so when a new employee is added to our HR system, their account is automatically created in Slack, Zoom, and the applications we use, increasing productivity without wasting time.
The sharing of secure access via user groups allows us to instantly provision access to shared tools for our remote project teams, ensuring they have exactly what they need when they join a call or project. Okta Platform has positively impacted our organization by dramatically improving our security posture, enforcing Multi-factor Authentication across all applications, and increasing productivity by allowing employees to access all their tools with one set of credentials.
What needs improvement?
Okta Platform could be improved by offering more out-of-the-box templates for advanced workflows and making the administration console faster when searching through a very large group of users.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Okta Platform for approximately five years to manage identity and access across our global workforce.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a 60% reduction in password reset help desk tickets and a significant decrease in the time it takes to onboard new employees from when they join.
What other advice do I have?
I advise others looking into using Okta Platform to start with a clear group strategy before beginning; if the requirement for groups and naming conventions is organized from day one, setting up security policies and automated provisioning will be much easier. I would rate this product 9 out of 10.

Seamless Access and Enhanced Security with Okta
What do you like best about the product?
After implementing Okta, the biggest improvement we’ve noticed is how much smoother access has become across our applications. Single Sign-On means I don’t have to juggle multiple passwords, and the adaptive MFA adds security without slowing me down. It’s reassuring to know our data is better protected, but what I appreciate most is the convenience, fewer password resets and less time wasted logging in. There are occasional delays when using the mobile app, but overall the balance of usability and security has been a real win for our team
What do you dislike about the product?
Okta works well overall, but there are a few things that could be improved. The admin dashboard can feel cluttered, with too many settings spread across different menus, which makes it harder to find what you need quickly. The mobile MFA prompts sometimes take a little longer than expected, which can be frustrating when you’re in a hurry. Support documentation is detailed, but not always easy to navigate. None of these issues are deal‑breakers, but they do add small friction points to an otherwise solid platform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta has solved one of our biggest headaches: managing multiple passwords. With Single Sign-On, I only need to remember one login, which means I don’t forget credentials or waste time resetting them. The added benefit is that our accounts are more secure thanks to MFA, but the real win for me is the convenience — I can get into all my apps quickly without juggling different passwords. It’s reduced frustration and saved a lot of time across the team
Perfect Balance of Security and Usability with Okta
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Okta is its balance between security and usability. It’s rare to find an identity platform that makes life easier for both end users and administrators. The intuitive dashboard, automation features, and integration ecosystem make it a cornerstone for modern identity management
What do you dislike about the product?
While Okta is powerful, its pricing can be on the higher side for smaller organizations, and some UI areas could be more intuitive. However, the trade-off is solid reliability, security, and scalability — which makes it worth it for most enterprises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta solves the problem of fragmented identity management. By providing a centralized, secure way to handle authentication and access control, it helps companies protect data, comply with regulations, and improve user productivity. The biggest benefit is trust — knowing the right people have access to the right resources at the right time.
