Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 13, 2025

Okta Workforce Identity and OneLogin compete in the identity and access management (IAM) category. Okta appears to have the upper hand due to its advanced integration capabilities and a broader range of features.

Features: Okta Workforce Identity offers robust provisioning and deprovisioning capabilities, multifactor authentication, and seamless integration with a wide range of applications. It supports Single Sign-On (SSO) and provides comprehensive identity management solutions. OneLogin is known for its ease of use, device trust features, and streamlined access management, enhancing user efficiency.

Room for Improvement: Okta needs to enhance its reporting capabilities, simplify user provisioning, and reconsider pricing structures, particularly for API features, while addressing integration issues with on-premises setups. OneLogin could improve its SmartFactor Authentication and reporting, as well as advance its UI customization and reduce downtime, aiming to enhance user support and integration with non-SSO applications.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Okta's robust technical support garners high praise, offering deployment flexibility in hybrid, public, and private cloud environments, though there's room for quicker response times. OneLogin operates primarily in public cloud environments, where it delivers reliable customer service but could benefit from further investment in support capabilities.

Pricing and ROI: Okta's costly pricing is justified by its extensive features, making it ideal for larger organizations, with a pricing model that scales with user growth and offers high ROI through security and automation. Conversely, OneLogin provides more affordable pricing, appealing mainly to educational sectors, though recent price hikes suggest a need for negotiation and flexibility.

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.

Streamlines access management with top-notch support, and a user-friendly interface, making it a highly effective solution for businesses of all sizes

During my evaluation of various products, one standout feature of OneLogin that impressed me was their mobile app for authentication through push notifications. Unlike traditional methods involving rotating codes, the OneLogin app simplifies the process by sending a push notification asking if the login attempt is legitimate. If confirmed, the login proceeds seamlessly. The primary benefit is its user-friendly interface, making it particularly accessible for non-technical users. One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance. Their sales team has also been highly responsive and helpful in connecting me with necessary resources, although we haven't faced any major challenges.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It made things a lot easier, especially with passwords."

"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."

"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."

"My total rating for Okta is ten out of ten."

"It is dependent on the evolution of your user base. It depends on usage per user, so the more sign-ins there are, the more expensive it becomes, so it works best for smaller companies from a financial perspective."

"What I found most valuable in Okta Workforce Identity is that it worked together with VMware Workspace One, so there was this device check at the same time. My company used the trusted device method that enabled you to define that only the trusted devices including the Workspace One agent were able to access the applications directly without an additional authentication step."

More Okta Workforce Identity pros

"The directory integration and SCIM provisioning are probably the best features compared to competitors."

"OneLogin is efficient."

"Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had."

"One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance."

"The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."

"Ease of integration with AD."

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."

More OneLogin by One Identity pros

Cons

"We had some implementation issues."

"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."

"The guest user access could be improved."

"The error logging could be improved. Okta doesn't provide enough details when you are troubleshooting an issue. It's often difficult to fix it from our end, so we always need additional support from Okta."

"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."

"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."

"It is challenging to obtain a comprehensive backup."

"There is a need for Okta to provide an end-to-end solution without needing a separate product like Zscaler for multifactor authentication."

More Okta Workforce Identity cons

"The solution keeps going down for many hours, which impacts the entire company. You can't access any applications. OneLogin Desktop has a huge problem where it locks your computers and you need to reset the whole computer, which is pretty insane."

"I would like better reporting from SmartFactor Authentication when a user is not able to sign in due to a new location, new IP, new device, et cetera."

"They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us."

"I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."

"This product doesn't necessarily provide us with all of the functionality that we need, such as being able to share passwords with external users."

"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."

"To offboard, you have to manually click on this checklist, each of the checkmarks. It would actually be really nice if, for offboarding someone, you just click "offboard" and it automatically runs a script to do that."

"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers."

More OneLogin by One Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of Okta Workforce Identity is competitively priced. We pay annually for the use of the solution."

"It is costly for large companies."

"Though I don't know about the licensing model of the product, I wouldn't be surprised if Okta offers a per user license subscription model."

"It could be a bit too pricey for small companies. Okta Workforce Identity can add a lot of benefits, but smaller companies may not have a lot of applications that need to be managed by Okta Workforce Identity. In larger organizations, there are more departments, applications, and users to manage. Okta Workforce Identity adds a bit more value to those bigger organizations. In addition to standard licensing fees, there are also additional costs for things"

"The price of the solution is good."

More Okta Workforce Identity pricing and cost advice

"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."

"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."

"The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."

"We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."

"The price of the licensing is fine."

"It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."

"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."
