Strong single sign on security comes packaged with simplicity in this on-premises-only solution
We do not have a huge usage load in our implementation of the product at our company. We know this because we have been working with clients and speaking with them as users and they literally have thousands of users on the product. Based on their testimonial and their lack of problems in performance, the scalability is there. In our company on our projects, we stay in the range of only hundreds of users, which is very small in comparison. As far as the number of people we require for maintenance, we are the level two maintenance with the vendor. To use and to configure on the client's side — for our clients — they really should never require in excess of one person full-time or the equivalent. Sign&Go has got a pretty low administrative requirement as far as maintenance is concerned. On our side, as far as the second level of support, I would say we get very few requests for actual issues with the product. The product stability is good. So, as far as running the maintenance on our end, we tend to only have a request is when a client needs to integrate a new workstation or do something else to expand their operations.

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

"The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"Because of all these reasons and by comparison, we almost always recommended Ilex as the best solution for the sake of prompt and efficient project deployment."
"The product is easy to use."
"We primarily use it to manage the community onboarding and offboarding of users, and it's quite a simple solution for that."
"Overall, I would rate Okta Customer Identity a ten."
"My total rating for Okta is ten out of ten."
"You get a real value for your money; whatever amount you spend, you get a bang for it, as Okta Platform is decently priced, delivers the features and functionality you need, and satisfies your use cases without hidden costs or add-ons for integration."
"Okta is a very compliant solution, and it is easy to deploy."
"Okta Workforce Identity has helped our organization by allowing us to work remotely in a secure environment."
"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."
 

Cons

"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"We've not had any problems with Okta."
"The only issue with Okta Customer Identity is after the upgrade process; we have some issues with the integration between Okta Customer Identity and Jamf."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, Okta Platform can focus more on governance and posture management."
"There is an access request system that is very limited access to the systems available for end-users. The access request should improve in Okta Customer Identity."
"Okta Platform's pricing model can be expensive for smaller organizations, affecting user feature accessibility."
"In the future, we'd like to see the product implement more security features, like, for example, zero-trust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
"Okta's pricing is right where it needs to be and right in the middle of the market."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is competitively priced. We pay annually for the use of the solution."
"The licensing model is fine for general service usage. However, the charges for API features and API tokens can be quite high."
"The product has a user-based license model."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"The pricing for Okta Workforce Identity could still be improved or made cheaper. It costs from 50 to 100 euros a year per user. Okta Workforce Identity has different packages you can choose from, and my previous company had all of them, particularly the full Okta suite."
"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."
