A new way to perform multifactor authentication using specialized SaaS software

Automated lifecycle management has cut onboarding times and now drives secure, clean access
Although I am a fan of Okta Platform overall, there are areas where it could improve security outcomes and reduce admin friction. My top improvement areas include the system log and analytics upgrade, which are great for point troubleshooting, but trending and root cause analysis across large tenants still require exporting to SIEM. Verbose queries and long-range retention costs can add up. Additionally, while certificate rotations are better than most, the process is still manual for busy portfolios, especially concerning multi-SP SAML certificate rotations and app metadata drift. Two more buckets of potential improvements for Okta Platform involve user experience and security. There is the issue of push fatigue and prompt sprawl, where users receive multiple prompts across different apps and sessions. I arrived at the rating of eight because the core controls are strong and reliable, but a few operational UX and UI gaps prevent it from being rated higher. The reasons for not giving it a nine or ten include ongoing issues concerning safety and change safety, the complexity of group rules and mappings, and the lack of robustness in policy management. Additionally, there remains a need for more manual involvement than necessary, especially for large portfolios and dual certificate rotation, along with proactive SP data metadata validation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Avoids man in the middle or man in the browser exploits that other two factor products are susceptible to."
"The feature that is most valuable to me is the automated user provisioning that we set up using Okta as a major part of that process."
"The main benefits Okta Customer Identity provides to users include single point of login for all applications and single authentication, which saves time and reduces frustration."
"Okta controls all the users. It has context-based access from the user and type of device. It identifies the risk and can do a step of authentication when that user is trying to access some sensitive application from an unknown device."
"We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems."
"Workforce Identity's best features include its user-friendliness and easy setup."
"This was a big money saver, which was much appreciated by our clients."
"Other than Okta being an easy and awesome integration tool, one of the best features it has is the provisioning and deprovisioning, which makes management way easier. You don't need to be too technical to understand how it works."
"The most valuable features of Okta Customer Identity are there is no infrastructure cost, integrated, has plenty of documentation, and is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"I got a few error messages which turned out to be themselves errors."
"For enterprises which really prefer to have their own identity within their own perimeter, Okta Platform might not be the solution they might look for."
"Initial technical support is not very responsive, it's only after escalation that we get proper support."
"The one thing which can be improved in Okta Platform would be the certifications which they provide."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"I would consider the scalability of Okta Platform to be a six."
"We had some implementation issues."
"It's not compatible with on-premises installations, unless you host it as a SaaS."
"Maybe the interface could use some work but, for the most part, the tool is pretty cool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product has a user-based license model."
"The price of the solution is good."
"I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."
"The product's price is high. For each feature, a certain payment is required."
"It is costly for large companies."
"The solution is not the cheapest but not the most expensive. They are in the middle rating."
