Overly Aggressive Sales Tactics

  • October 18, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Okta seemed like a good product, however they had a huge security incident, and their prices are too high.
What do you dislike about the product?
They continue to contact me, even when I have asked them to stop, multiple times. I have told them I went with another solution. They try to patronize me with my selection of a different SSO solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It would have been beneficial for SSO, since we didn't have an SSO provider previously.

A stable and scalable tool that allows for application control on a single console

  • September 26, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use Okta Workforce Identity in my company since it supports single sign-on (SSO).

Okta Workforce Identity is good for helping control all applications in one console.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that one can create a lot of workflows with the product while also being able to add Jamf software. One can also add a lot of applications with Okta Workforce Identity so that employees can use and access them from a single console. During employees' onboarding or offboarding processes, it is very easy to activate and deactivate their access.

What needs improvement?

The only area of concern in the solution stems from the fact that my company needs some help regarding the setup phase from a partner.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Okta Workforce Identity for five years. My company is a customer of Okta.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a very stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution.

Around 1,000 people in my company use Okta Workforce Identity. Whatever accesses we provide in our company are provided through Okta.

How are customer service and support?

Whenever my company has raised a ticket with Okta's support team, we always receive immediate support. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What about the implementation team?

For the initial setup phase of Okta Workforce Identity, you need a person from Okta to help you. In general, you may require Okta's partner's help with the initial setup phase.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Price-wise, Okta Workforce Identity is a cheap solution. The overall cost depends on the license since you can negotiate with Okta or any of Okta's partners only if you opt for many licenses.

What other advice do I have?

I have not seen any disadvantages in Okta Workforce Identity. From whatever I have seen and experienced, I can say that Okta Workforce Identity is a good tool.

If you have more than 500 or 1,000 employees in your company with limited IT personnel, then you can use Okta Workforce Identity since it allows you to give access to your employees with just one console. If any employees decide to leave the organization, then it is very easy to deactivate or remove their access from your network. Okta Workforce Identity helps save bandwidth and time.

Once you get the console, it is very easy to access or add applications, reset the password for users, and reset the authenticator. If you have access to KT or knowledge transfer, it is very easy to understand Okta Workforce Identity.

I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.

  • September 21, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The thing that affects me most while using Okta Workforce Identity is the SSO integration that can be leveraged across most applications within our business. This streamlines the login process and makes it easier for our users to access all applications they need to use with a single click.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have a specific anecdote to share regarding anything that I dislike about Okta Workforce Identity, because I think it provides a valuable benefit to organization without really having any detractors that I have experienced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My main experience using Okta Workforce Identity has been leveraging the SSO capability. It has been most helpful in allowing our users to login - whether on their desktop or their mobile - to pretty much any application we have in our software footprint.

  • September 15, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution to give access to the server. It verifies and allows users to access the server.

What is most valuable?

The product is easy to use. I just have to click on the Okta app on my mobile. The verification takes two seconds. We need to verify once we start the software because we use single sign-on.

Has multi-factor authentication and 99.9% service availability

  • September 08, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Okta provides island access management solutions, which means that anyone who needs an IIM solution can get it through Okta. For example, if you have 30-40 applications and users that need to log in to all of them, Okta can integrate all of the applications into a single point of access where users can log in once and use the same session for all of their applications. Okta also provides multi-factor authentication and other security policies to protect your users and applications.

What is most valuable?

We have multiple SSO protocols that we use for our different data centers. This is just one example of how we use Okta workforce identity to address our hybrid workforce needs. Apart from SSO, we also have Active Directory integrations that allow us to integrate with customer active directories and use active directory passwords for application sign-in and runtime authentication. This is called daily header authentication. This allows us to provide a centralized identity management platform for our users, regardless of where they are located or what applications they need to access. We can automate the process of adding users to Okta if they are activated in Active Directory, or if they are added to the database of applications or Active Directory in the last couple of days.

What needs improvement?

Currently, it has two-factor authentication. In addition to biometrics, it should offer three-factor authentication. Also, the training is too costly. Okta could reduce the training cost to make it easier.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Okta Workforce Identity as a service provider for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution’s scalability is huge. It has 99.9% service availability. We cater this solution to enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy. Once you understand the steps, it's straightforward. There are three steps: enrolling users, removing tenants, and updating field metadata from outside the application and SaaS integration. Deployment depends on the number of occasions, testing, and the users. If you have 30,000 users, you will need two months. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten.

What other advice do I have?

The solution is suitable for everyone, but it is locked up for a total number of years. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
