Okta is helping us enable more login methods across our ecosystem (most recently added SMS verification) and allows us to be a single source of truth for any login experiences across our whole organization

What do you like best about the product?

I really appreciate Okta for several reasons. It's our identity platform, and I find it very stable and easy to use. The protections it offers, like seamless app access and phishing-resistant login methods, are very valuable to us. Since we have over 2000 users, uptime is crucial, and Okta delivers on that. Additionally, it allows us to autogrant app access to users while ensuring security with multi-factor authentication and password-less login methods.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes I get a little lost in the policies, like authentication and password rules, and how they work together. It's hard to figure out which one takes precedence. We're also fans of the new AI features being released, but we're worried about the cost. Having outdated policies for a long time, like those marked 'legacy', is also a bit challenging. A regular review with an engineer could really help keep things on track.
