One of the majorly used use cases for Okta Workforce Identity is the assignment of different SaaS applications, which are cloud-based, and using them with single sign-on. Users don't have to remember the password for each and every online cloud-based application. They just need to sign in with one email and password. This is one of the major benefits of using Okta Workforce Identity.

Secure and Seamless Identity Management with Okta
What do you like best about the product?
Having used Okta in an enterprise environment for over a year, I can confidently say it's one of the best tools out there for identity and access management. It has transformed the way our company handles user authentication, security, and application access.
My personal favorite is how Single Sign-On (SSO) just works consistently and seamlessly across all our cloud applications. I sign in once and have secure access to all that I need to perform my job without having to remember numerous passwords or go through repetitive sign-on rituals.
Multifactor authentication (MFA) is extremely helpful and easy to use. It adds a crucial extra layer of security, especially for remote access, and is suitable for both desktop environments and mobile devices. That the access can also be controlled by user role and group also offers our IT staff excellent control without complicating the user experience.
Security, scalability, and ease of use are the biggest benefits. Okta has allowed us to put strict access controls in place without hindering productivity. It also simplifies onboarding and offboarding — new employees have instant access to the software they need, and we can simply cut off access for departing employees.

What do you dislike about the product?
The admin interface can be a bit overwhelming and cluttered. While feature-rich, it's not always immediately obvious, especially when dealing with complex configurations or custom app integrations. Furthermore, the initial configuration required more guidance and documentation than expected.
Some things that should be a standard feature, like certain reporting functionality or more robust provisioning workflows, are locked behind higher-tier plans. This limits what smaller teams or organizations can achieve without additional cost.
The pricing scheme can get expensive quite fast, especially if you need more features or integrations. Furthermore, occasional sync issues with third-party applications can cause delays or access errors that must be fixed by hand.

Empowering seamless access with single sign-on integration and robust authentication
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
One of the best features of Okta Workforce Identity is its integration with different SaaS applications, which makes it a better product than the competitors.
The multi-factor authentication feature in Okta Workforce Identity is very good. It has its own verification app as well. It is very good in authentication, and we can use hardware keys, software keys, or any authenticator, majorly known authenticator app, for multi-factor authentication.
The provisioning and deprovisioning features of Okta Workforce Identity are very good. We can automate them as well, and we can provision users, groups, applications, and provision tools based on specific groups as well. The product is very good in that as well.
What needs improvement?
I believe that if we integrate the workflows section into the main Okta Workforce Identity dashboard, it can be very useful.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Okta Workforce Identity for about 4 to 5 years now.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
In terms of the initial setup and deployment, I find it to be very easy. We have to set it up for the first time, and it has a very straightforward implementation. We have the pictorial and video guides on the Okta Workforce Identity websites on how to deploy it, how to set up employees, how to provision them, how to create groups, and how to set up devices. Each and everything is documented, and it's pretty much straightforward to use.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Okta Workforce Identity is a stable product. We had an issue with the Okta Workforce Identity dashboard once in 2023 when we had an outage, but it recovered in a few minutes.
How are customer service and support?
We have never felt the need to contact the Okta Workforce Identity support team. It has been up and running. We had an issue with the Okta Workforce Identity dashboard once in 2023 when we had an outage, but it recovered in a few minutes.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Easy to access

What I like about Okta is that it's really simple and reliable. It really dumbs down signing into multiple platforms through a single sign on, it helps save time and lessens password fatigue.

One thing I don't like it how pushy they are about opening a personal account. and the issue I had once I did sign up for a personal account was that at times OKTA couldn't differentiate between business account and my personal account.

Making it more secure for all our employees signing in needs in the organization while on company computers and company phones. The OKTA personal is a nice feature but still a little excessive.
Nice and Stable

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how simple the interface looks, it's very bland and plain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta is solving the problem of giving me a place to access all of the platforms I need in a single platform, so I don't have to go to a bunch of different URL's, I only need the one.
