What do you like best about the product?

Okta provides excellent streamline and organizational services to track, monitor, secure and streamline identities within an organization. UI is easy to use and integrates easily with thousands of common applications like Google or Stripe. It also can integrate with custom built application - I build a dashboard for the organization that's authentication and authorization are managed via Okta. Downtime has been non-existent for us.

What do you dislike about the product?

The learning curve has been pretty steep. I took their courses and became certified in Okta systems and I still struggle with going to the right place and making the right changes. There's a lot of hidden nuances that if you're not trained in IAM management and IT Networking/Sec then it's easy to miss a required change for things to work. We utilize the Okta for Good program, so I can't comment on price much but we initially added on the Device Access but between me another IT tech, we couldn't figure out how to get it working so we eventually just dropped the extra.

Configuring custom SAML integrations for our older legacy systems can be unexpectedly complex and time-consuming compared to using their standard connectors

What do you like best about the product?

What I like best about Okta is how simple and seamless it makes accessing the different tools I use throughout my workday. Having a centralized and secure way to sign in reduces the friction of managing multiple accounts and credentials, especially when working across several analytics and collaboration platforms.

The single sign-on experience is straightforward and reliable, and I appreciate that it provides an additional layer of security without making the login process feel overly complicated. Overall, it makes accessing the tools I need faster and more convenient while still maintaining strong security.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing I dislike about Okta is that the authentication process can occasionally feel repetitive, especially when I’m asked to verify my identity multiple times throughout the day or when switching between different tools. While I understand that these steps are important for security, they can sometimes interrupt the workflow.

It would be helpful if the experience were a little more seamless while maintaining the same level of security. Overall, though, this is a relatively minor inconvenience compared to the convenience and security Okta provides

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Okta solves the challenge of securely managing access to multiple tools and applications without requiring users to keep track of separate credentials for each one. For me, the biggest benefit is having a centralized and consistent way to access the platforms I use every day.

It saves time, reduces login-related friction, and makes switching between different tools much easier. At the same time, features like multi-factor authentication provide confidence that access to company systems and data is well protected. Overall, Okta helps make secure access feel like a natural part of the workflow rather than an additional task
