It is for Single Sign-on and Multi-Factor Authentication.

It is very easy to log in to all my various corporate accounts through Okta Platform. This helps me because I do not need to have any password. I just simply log into Okta Platform which has a single sign-on capability.

This helps us whenever our employees, our new employees come into the company. On first login, when they come into the company, they have access to all our corporate accounts already once they have their corporate account. They can log into their various productivity and corporate applications. This helps ease the burden from our IT support team to have to onboard someone manually. When someone leaves the company, having an IT team have to remove their access one by one is a very difficult process. Okta Platform Lifecycle Management helps us offboard those employees who have left the company more easily.

It would be great if there were a way to save even my social media passwords and other passwords through Okta Platform and single sign-on through Okta Platform in the future. I do not think they have this capability just yet.

I have been using this for six years.

There were some alternatives like JumpCloud and Ping Identity that we were evaluating. However, since we are a partner, we prefer Okta Platform. There is a bias towards Okta Platform.

I would say the setup difficulty was in the middle, depending on circumstances. For us, it was quite simple because we had everything in place. We just needed to integrate the Single Sign-on and the directory with our Google Workspace or our current IDP. It was pretty straightforward and took a couple of days.

Regarding pricing, as mentioned, we are a partner, so we do get a special big discount as a partner versus other customers.

There were some alternatives like JumpCloud and Ping Identity that we were evaluating.

Okta Platform is a great product and one of the best. We are a partner and have been using it for six years. We have four engineers on our team. We do not use the PAM and do not need it. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

We are providing identity access management to the customers with Okta Customer Identity, and then application integration, user onboarding, and related functions.

I'm a senior consultant using Okta Customer Identity.

We are the implementers of Okta Customer Identity as users.

The most valuable feature of Okta Customer Identity is the application interface with SSO. Integration with SSO helps us make use of the credentials. Once we log in, we get the opportunity to explore many applications within the organization with the same login, with no need to log in again.

Adaptive authentication in Okta Customer Identity is a flexible feature that is very secure and user-friendly. The authentication is more complex for man-in-the-middle attacks while remaining useful for end users.

Okta Customer Identity's API gives a clear view of how user onboarding takes place, so we can easily configure with Postman. We can onboard and off-board users, which is very flexible through the APIs.

Regarding multi-factor authentication, it helps reduce unauthorized access in our organization. We are using passwordless authentication with Okta FastPass on mobile devices. Users can get authenticated with two-factor authentication, first entering the password, then directly using the second factor authentication with Okta FastPass.

It is complex when adding it for the first time to users of Okta Customer Identity. For end-users and new users, it can be complex to use.

Okta Customer Identity analytics and reporting tools do not help much to improve customer engagement strategies.

Training should be provided to novice users. There are multiple online learning resources in the Okta documentation part, which users can access free of charge.

I have been working with Okta Customer Identity for six years.

There are no doubts regarding the stability of Okta Customer Identity. It is scalable and we can directly make use of this tool.

The solution is scalable.

The setup for Okta Customer Identity is straightforward.

The price of Okta Customer Identity is acceptable.

For those planning to use Okta Customer Identity, MSA and SSO are among the best features that can be recommended for users. We also have direct integration with Active Directory. There are many features that will be helpful for organizations to easily integrate applications and manage user onboarding and off-boarding.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and I did not purchase it through AWS Marketplace. I usually buy for the entire organization.

I rate Okta Customer Identity 10 out of 10.

We are an advertising company with around 400 employees in four different countries: Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Brazil. We have implemented Okta Customer Identity to enforce security in our applications and ensure all users access them securely. We use Okta Customer Identity for various applications like Office 365 and several other applications essential to our business.

Okta Customer Identity focuses on providing top-notch identity management solutions. One of its most valuable features is its easy integration with various applications through its extensive application directory, offering hundreds or thousands of applications ready to configure. This integration is significantly easier compared to Microsoft Entra ID, where we encountered numerous issues. We particularly value its real-time reporting capabilities. For example, we detected cyberattacks from countries like Russia and Asia and were able to block those IP addresses and configure our system for more security. These advanced security features and reporting capabilities make it easy to manage.

Okta Customer Identity is continuously improving its solution. Since we started using it in 2019, we have observed numerous enhancements to increase security.

We have been using Okta Customer Identity for more than five years in our company.

We had an issue a couple of years ago that was swiftly resolved by the support team, showing their efficiency. They also offer a comprehensive knowledge base on their website, which is very helpful for addressing any issues or queries.

We evaluated Microsoft Entra ID but chose Okta Customer Identity because it is easier to integrate with various applications. Microsoft Entra ID presented many challenges and it was more difficult to manage integration processes.

The initial setup of Okta Customer Identity is straightforward due to its well-architected solution. It is intuitive and user-friendly for administrators to manage.

Okta Customer Identity is expensive compared to other solutions, but we believe the investment is justified given the rising cybersecurity threats. Despite the cost, it's cheaper than the potential financial loss from a security breach.

We evaluated Microsoft Entra ID.

Overall, I would rate Okta Customer Identity a ten. Okta Customer Identity is solely focused on identity management, which makes them excel in this area.

We use Okta for identity and access management for our internal services, cloud services or applications (SaaS). We have a hybrid setup since we have a global workforce, so we unify our IAM services.

The most useful features of Okta for my organization are identity and access management, single sign-on, and the flexibility for hybrid setups.

Okta enables multi-factor authentication, which enhances security, especially for SaaS applications. The integration capabilities of Okta are very flexible, with multiple protocols that can be integrated, especially for single sign-on. Any API can also be added, making it mature in terms of integrating with other identity providers, particularly Active Directory or Azure Entra ID.

Okta should have at least a local presense for countries that align with or comply with GDPR or data sovereignty, so there are no compliance or audit questions. There are integration issues with Office 365; such as groups not updating correctly in Okta. Okta should work on resolving them.

I have been in the organization for one year, and it has been more than three years now that Okta has been used.

As long as you have Internet connection, there are no issues with the stability.

Okta is scalable and reliable, with no downtime or service disruption encountered over the years.

My team contacts Okta support for increased integration requirements. They are very supportive; they just open a ticket, and they support us very professionally.

The setup process is pretty straight-forward, having experience with different single sign-on (SSO) and identity access management, I can manage the setup process with ease. Okta provides clear guidelines and documentations as well.

Pricing for Okta is reasonably not that much, however, I don't have access to the commercial aspect.

I recommend evaluating your environment first. If you have a global workforce or you need flexibility and higher visibility on your identity and access management (IAM) and SSO, Okta is a good solution. My total rating for Okta is ten out of ten.

I am just an end user of the product, so I don't know how the product is used in remote force management in our company. I use the product to help me log on to our company's security systems.

When I was traveling, I could get my OTPs through the tool's app, through my cell phone number or via an SMS,which makes it a flexible product. The tool is helpful even in areas involving emails. It is possible to use the product in another country and add an extra layer of security to it, proving that it can be a really secure platform.

I use the tool at a low level, so it does what I need it to do for me.

The product does not offer enough integration capabilities. I want the tool to provide more integration capabilities in the future.

I have been using Okta Workforce Identity for two years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It is an easily scalable solution. When it comes to the scalability features, the product has many options for people in different countries, offices, and remote locations.

I believe that there are around 1,500 users of the tool in my company.

I did contact the product's support team when my password got locked out. I could even reset the whole password from Okta easily through the tool's internal app. The support team was good.

The product's initial setup phase is straightforward.

The solution is deployed on the cloud since it is used at a company-wide level in South Africa.

Though I am not sure, I feel that during the implementation phase, my company did seek the help of a consultant and our organization's in-house team.

In terms of benefits offered by the product, I can say that the tool has centralized our company's security and internal policies while ensuring that we stay compliant so that the users stay protected. With the product in place, no phishing attacks or any other types of attacks can cause a problem since it is a secure platform.

Though I don't know about the licensing model of the product, I wouldn't be surprised if Okta offers a per user license subscription model.

The employee onboarding process is okay if you use Okta Workforce Identity.

The SSO feature offered by the product is good, easy to use, and user-friendly. The tool also has a password manager as well.

The tool's MFA part comes as one of the strongest features of the product.

I ate the tool a ten out of ten.

I use Okta Workforce Identity in my company since it supports single sign-on (SSO).

Okta Workforce Identity is good for helping control all applications in one console.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that one can create a lot of workflows with the product while also being able to add Jamf software. One can also add a lot of applications with Okta Workforce Identity so that employees can use and access them from a single console. During employees' onboarding or offboarding processes, it is very easy to activate and deactivate their access.

The only area of concern in the solution stems from the fact that my company needs some help regarding the setup phase from a partner.

I have been using Okta Workforce Identity for five years. My company is a customer of Okta.

It is a very stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

Around 1,000 people in my company use Okta Workforce Identity. Whatever accesses we provide in our company are provided through Okta.

Whenever my company has raised a ticket with Okta's support team, we always receive immediate support. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

For the initial setup phase of Okta Workforce Identity, you need a person from Okta to help you. In general, you may require Okta's partner's help with the initial setup phase.

Price-wise, Okta Workforce Identity is a cheap solution. The overall cost depends on the license since you can negotiate with Okta or any of Okta's partners only if you opt for many licenses.

I have not seen any disadvantages in Okta Workforce Identity. From whatever I have seen and experienced, I can say that Okta Workforce Identity is a good tool.

If you have more than 500 or 1,000 employees in your company with limited IT personnel, then you can use Okta Workforce Identity since it allows you to give access to your employees with just one console. If any employees decide to leave the organization, then it is very easy to deactivate or remove their access from your network. Okta Workforce Identity helps save bandwidth and time.

Once you get the console, it is very easy to access or add applications, reset the password for users, and reset the authenticator. If you have access to KT or knowledge transfer, it is very easy to understand Okta Workforce Identity.

I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.

Okta provides island access management solutions, which means that anyone who needs an IIM solution can get it through Okta. For example, if you have 30-40 applications and users that need to log in to all of them, Okta can integrate all of the applications into a single point of access where users can log in once and use the same session for all of their applications. Okta also provides multi-factor authentication and other security policies to protect your users and applications.

We have multiple SSO protocols that we use for our different data centers. This is just one example of how we use Okta workforce identity to address our hybrid workforce needs. Apart from SSO, we also have Active Directory integrations that allow us to integrate with customer active directories and use active directory passwords for application sign-in and runtime authentication. This is called daily header authentication. This allows us to provide a centralized identity management platform for our users, regardless of where they are located or what applications they need to access. We can automate the process of adding users to Okta if they are activated in Active Directory, or if they are added to the database of applications or Active Directory in the last couple of days.

Currently, it has two-factor authentication. In addition to biometrics, it should offer three-factor authentication. Also, the training is too costly. Okta could reduce the training cost to make it easier.
