Reliable, Enterprise SSO and Identity Management
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity and usability of the platform makes it easy for both users and admins.
What do you dislike about the product?
It amazes me that some of the platforms haven't created point and click applications. There is always a way to make it work with the protocols, but other platforms need to get on board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Seamless access management to multiple SaaS platforms.
Simplifies user lifecycle management and provides SSO
What is our primary use case?
The primary use cases are SSO, user management, and SSO integration with various cloud services, including AWS, GCP, GitHub, etc.
What is most valuable?
The tool provides a single place of contact for managing users. We only need to manage users in Okta Workforce Identity, eliminating the need to duplicate efforts across different systems. For example, if a user needs to be decommissioned, we don't have to go through all the systems and cloud services; we delete the user in one place. This process is automated with our HR system for both organizations, simplifying user lifecycle management.
The main features we find most valuable are the single sign-on and the OTP authentication. The ability to connect via a PC or a mobile phone makes the process seamless.
The MFA feature enhances regular authentication through the user portal and utilizes one-time passwords generated from QR codes on mobile devices.
What needs improvement?
We faced some challenges during the Okta Identity Workforce deployment. Integrating with AWS and other cloud services posed some limitations with federated options. For instance, features like automatic user addition from AWS to the tool were missing, requiring manual intervention. The API is limited compared to the manual configuration possible through the UI.
I think Okta Workforce Identity could improve by making its API more robust, ensuring that all UI capabilities are exposed in the API. This is particularly important for integrating with other applications, such as AWS and other cloud providers.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for six years.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The licensing model is fine for general service usage. However, the charges for API features and API tokens can be quite high.
What other advice do I have?
I would give Okta Workforce Identity a solid eight out of ten. There's always room for improvement, but overall, the tool performs well and meets our needs. The solution was my first experience with such products. Previously, I had used internal tools like Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Active Directory services within Azure, which were excellent for corporate environments. However, I find Okta Workforce Identity more suitable for startups.
