Authentication process improves security with quick and intuitive user interface
The best feature is the speed and execution of Okta Workforce Identity. The moment you click on single sign-on, you immediately get the notification on your mobile phone, then you do the authentication and within a second you get authenticated. The entire customer experience is very good. The user interface is pretty simple, straightforward, and really good. Multi-factor authentication in Okta Workforce Identity is very useful so people who do not have access or are trying to access using just a user ID and password will be completely blocked because of this two-factor authentication. You will get the code, and as your device is authorized in the system, only that device can be used for the authentication purpose. A third person trying to access or hack your data will not be able to do that anymore. Additionally, you don't have to remember your passwords going forward. Previously, every 60 days or 90 days, passwords kept changing. With the two-factor authentication or single sign-on option in Okta Workforce Identity, you don't have to remember it anymore or write down passwords in plain text. If something goes wrong, we have the IAM team which can unlock your account immediately if you have issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to use and straightforward."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"The most valuable feature of Okta is its security."
"The product is easy to use."
"Overall, I would rate Okta Customer Identity a ten."
"Workforce Identity offers a comprehensive access management solution with multi-factor authentication, total control, and features like app access management, identity governance, and administration tools such as certification and access request management. These are typically found in identity management solutions, but Okta integrates them seamlessly into its user interface."
"My total rating for Okta is ten out of ten."
"The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"SAP CDC is very easy to use and the best part about this tool is its documentation."
 

Cons

"The solution lacks an on-premises deployment model so it can't offer a hybrid solution. It would be ideal if clients had options that weren't just cloud-based."
"Okta Customer Identity analytics and reporting tools do not help much to improve customer engagement strategies."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"Okta should have at least a local peering partner for countries that align with or comply with GDPR, so there are no compliance or audit questions."
"We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito."
"RESTful Web Service calls and their response seem a bit slow."
"Whenever I write Cypress test cases, we encounter problems with logging in through Okta."
"I have struggled to give different access to different users in the same application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is costly for large companies."
"The price of the solution is fair for what it offers."
"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."
"Okta has fairly competitive pricing."
"The product's price is high. For each feature, a certain payment is required."
"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."
"I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
