Authentication process improves security with quick and intuitive user interface

  • August 19, 2025
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I don't have many details about Okta Workforce Identity. I use the tool just to sign in to different applications that we have. We basically set up Okta Workforce Identity in our mobile phone. We do the scanning part and then enter our official email address and acknowledge that. They will send a code to the mobile phone. Once that code is authenticated, we are good enough to use that tool going forward. That's the initial setup we do on Okta Workforce Identity.

Okta Workforce Identity is really useful because all internal users that we have in our transfer server have now moved to it. In the progress, it's a suite, as it's a part of MOVEit Automation as well as MOVEit Transfer. On the MOVEit Transfer, all internal users in our company have moved to Okta Workforce Identity single sign-on option. The benefit was addressing issues where people were using incorrect passwords. When they continuously put incorrect passwords, their IP would get locked and their account would get locked. Additionally, there were very few users who kept passwords in secret tools or KeePass tools. Most of them were putting the passwords either in mobile phones or in OneNote or text documents where the data could get breached easily. To deal with all these issues, Okta Workforce Identity is a perfect tool where internal applications can be signed in using your authentication tool itself. It functions as two-factor authentication.

I am using Okta Workforce Identity for login purposes only.

What is most valuable?

The best feature is the speed and execution of Okta Workforce Identity. The moment you click on single sign-on, you immediately get the notification on your mobile phone, then you do the authentication and within a second you get authenticated. The entire customer experience is very good. The user interface is pretty simple, straightforward, and really good.

Multi-factor authentication in Okta Workforce Identity is very useful so people who do not have access or are trying to access using just a user ID and password will be completely blocked because of this two-factor authentication. You will get the code, and as your device is authorized in the system, only that device can be used for the authentication purpose. A third person trying to access or hack your data will not be able to do that anymore. Additionally, you don't have to remember your passwords going forward. Previously, every 60 days or 90 days, passwords kept changing. With the two-factor authentication or single sign-on option in Okta Workforce Identity, you don't have to remember it anymore or write down passwords in plain text. If something goes wrong, we have the IAM team which can unlock your account immediately if you have issues.

What needs improvement?

Currently, in Okta Workforce Identity we get the two-digit authentication code. Instead of getting the two-digit authentication code, if we had an option to do fingerprint verification, that would be beneficial. We have already secured that only the device where we have installed Okta Workforce Identity can do the authentication. However, if that phone or device gets stolen, somebody else can log into the system using that code. If there was a fingerprint option, then only the person who has already added their fingerprint on their mobile phone could access it. This would provide double protection.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using Okta Workforce Identity four months ago in our company.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I didn't have any single sign-on technologies before Okta Workforce Identity. I started with AWS and then adapted Okta Workforce Identity.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. We haven't encountered any issues because if we had, we might have gotten emails from the security or the IAM team who handled the installation. Nothing went wrong. It was pretty smooth.

What was our ROI?

I have seen ROI from Okta Workforce Identity. It was a great implementation. Initially, we had multiple places where we had to store links in browsers to access different applications. We don't have to do that any longer now. We have our dashboard to log in via Okta Workforce Identity. Once logged in, it shows our company's portal where we see different applications. When you click on an application, you automatically get signed into that particular website.

What other advice do I have?

Most of our internal applications are getting migrated to Okta Workforce Identity. We started initially with AWS, then we added Confluence. We also migrated the internal rewards point feature. The entire migration is being done in a phase-wise manner. Currently, 15 applications have been migrated with only a few remaining that we use daily.

I haven't used the Lifecycle Management feature in Okta Workforce Identity. The decision to go with Okta Workforce Identity might have been due to the best customer experience and favorable long-term license deals.

I would recommend Okta Workforce Identity because it's a security standard. Two-factor authentication is always better than using user ID and password. The entire world is now dealing with data and we have to secure it as much as possible. For file transfer, we are using encryption and decryption. Similarly, for accessing internal applications or internal websites, I would recommend using Okta Workforce Identity or any related tool which can provide two-factor authentication as it's a standard nowadays.

I rate Okta Workforce Identity 9 out of 10.

Reliable and secure identity management solution

  • August 17, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Okta is its simplicity and reliability in managing user authentication across multiple applications. It provides Single Sign-On (SSO), which makes logging in much faster and more secure. The integration with other platforms is smooth, and the security features like Multi-Factor Authentication add a strong layer of protection. It really helps us manage identities at scale without complications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main drawback is that the initial setup and configuration can be a bit complex, especially for teams without much experience in identity management. Also, the pricing can feel a little high for smaller companies. However, once it is properly set up, the platform works very reliably.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta is helping us centralize identity and access management across different applications. By using Single Sign-On and Multi-Factor Authentication, we have reduced the risk of unauthorized access and improved overall security. It also saves time for employees since they don’t need to remember multiple passwords, and it makes onboarding and offboarding much faster. For our IT team, it has simplified user management and reduced administrative workload.

Easy and Secure Way to Log-in to Work Apps

  • August 06, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy Okta makes it to log in securely to all my work-related applications. I have the Okta app installed on my phone, and whenever I try to log in to systems like Microsoft 365, payroll, or our leave management tool, it either sends me a push notification or asks for an OTP. The Okta Push feature is super convenient—I just approve the login with one tap. It saves time and adds an extra layer of security without making things complicated.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s honestly not much to dislike, but sometimes if I don’t have my phone nearby or it’s out of battery, it becomes tricky to log in. Also, the push notification and OTPs can occasionally take a few extra seconds to come through, but it’s rare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta helps make sure that only authorized employees can access company systems. It adds a strong layer of security, especially with features like OTPs and push notifications for login. For me, it means I can access all my work apps securely from anywhere without worrying about password leaks or someone else logging in. It also saves time since I don’t have to remember multiple passwords or go through long verification steps.
