Okta Workforce Identity Reviews

We are an authorised reseller partner

Its simplicity and integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features. 

API Securities Solution

I have been engaged with Okta for more than 2 years, have seen the latest version.

It is highly stable. They claim 99.9% uptime. We never came accross downtime and performance issues

Okta is not only a single sign-on platform but also Life cycle management, the core of the Identity Management platform. Okta access gateway can publish on-premise legacy applications to the cloud. 

They are very good. The Okta system engineers involved in presales engagement have sound knowledge on Okta platforms and IAM in general. What I have noticed personally is that Okta provides them with extensive training before assigning them to the Job. It helps them in understanding the technology well before starting with the job.

Its initial setup is straight forward. Okta tenant creation can be done quickly. Adding users and applications to the okta platform has customer dependabilities. Integration and going live with O365 also takes a little bit more time than other apps because of internal rollout and user training. It is not an Okta problem but needs customer Microsoft teams active involvement

I would recommend a phase-wise approach and not doing everything in one step. You can start with the basics of single sign-on and MFA and then proceed to life cycle management. I would also recommend starting with the lest critical applications and then add critical ones to the SSO platform. It is a journey, and we need to start small and slowly migrate it. Adaptive MFA provides proactive defence against login and credential abuse.

I would rate Okta Workforce Identity a ten out of ten.

• SSO integration with an on-premise Active Directory environment
• Universal Directory synchronization and leverage UD to integrate with other cloud federated applications
• O365 SSO integration

O365 integration, moving away from straight LDAP integrations for applications that reside in the cloud to true SAML functionality. Provides better security posture by using SAML and MFA.

• UD
• SSO functionality
• MFA and Adaptive MFA functionality
• Ability to link multiple Directory databases with UD

UD attribute mapping, Okta group rules, and dynamic usage could use improvement. More in-depth functionality and features to integrate with RADIUS solutions.

We primarily use the solution to access cloud solutions and VDI. 

The most valuable aspects of the solution are the integration with external websites one-factor authentication.

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.

The stability of the solution is fine.

I've never contacted technical support. I've only ever used web pages to assist me with questions, and that has been enough.

We previously used Workspace One Access Solutions from VMware. In fact, we're using it as well as Okta, so we never really switched.

The initial setup is almost completely straightforward. The identity action is complex, so it makes it just a bit difficult.

Customers should use an integrator to help assist in the initial setup.

This solution is very good. Okta is, in my opinion, one of the leaders at the moment on the Polish market. However, there is some limited usability because of the requirements.

We use the cloud deployment model.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

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

This user integration with the Okta integration network could be simplified.

I have used this solution for one year. 

This is a stable solution. 

The customer service and support is fast and effective. 

We mostly use it for MFA for logging into our Windows RDS environment and a web-based application called Tableau. We are using the latest version.

The MFA part is the best. MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication. Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text. These options provide different ways of logging in for users, and they were a lot more than what we needed. This is certainly a very good feature of Okta Workforce Identity. 

They also have single sign-on (SSO). When we bought Okta Workforce Identity a year and a half ago, I was also looking at SSO, but not much documentation was available for SSO. The documentation for SSO should be a little more robust for somebody who is implementing it for the first time. 

I have been using Okta Workforce Identity for almost one and a half years.

It is stable. I never faced any issues with its stability.

I have not scaled it much. The company for which we implemented this solution is into data mining or data analytics. They had multiple users. Most of the users were data scientists. I was the only one looking at it in terms of management.

There were a couple of occasions where I needed some support while setting it up for our RDS environment. Their technical support was educated enough with respect to the product. They were able to help us out and resolve the issue pretty quickly. I would say they are good on the support part.

Setting up the MFA for Windows RDS was very straightforward. Using it with Tableau was not very straightforward. It was a bit complex, but the documentation was handy enough to set it up.

I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services. 

It has been sufficient for our needs. I haven't seen any issues, so I would say it is a good product. If there was anything, the users would have complained, but I haven't received any complaints with respect to Okta Workforce Identity from the users. 

I would rate Okta Workforce Identity a nine out of ten.

I mainly use Workforce Identity to give users access to applications.

Workforce Identity's best features include its user-friendliness and easy setup.

In some setup cases, there are issues with attributes not going in properly. We've also had some problems with the firewall causing the data center to slow down.

I've been using Workforce Identity for about a year and five months.

Workforce Identity is stable.

Workforce Identity is scalable.

I previously worked with One Identity Manager and IBM Identity Manager.

The initial setup is easy.

Workforce Identity is well-priced.

I'd advise anybody thinking of implementing Workforce Identity to be careful with their setup roadmap. I would give Workforce Identity a rating of seven out of ten.

The primarily use of the solution has been for education and to support our Federation identification as well. We also use it for a Google IDM, in that you use it to segregate our Google DCB environment and provide for our engineers.

Overall, the solution works perfectly.

We especially appreciate that it's very easy to manage. For me, as a manager, it brings a lot of value for us and makes our clients very happy.

The initial setup is easy.

The solution really does have all of the features we need.

The pricing could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive. They should work to make it more affordable.

In general, the solution isn't really missing any features. It's rather complete. I can't recall anything that would need to be added into future updates.

I've been dealing with the solution for about a year and a half or something like that. It hasn't been too long.

The stability has been perfect. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's performance is reliable. We're quite satisfied.

Being a cloud product, and like other cloud products, the solution can scale quite well. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so with ease. It's very accommodating.

Currently, we have more than 130 users on the solution.

I can't speak to the quality of technical support. I've never used them. I couldn't say if they are knowledgeable or responsive. I have no personal experience in the matter.

The initial implementation is not overly complex. It's easy. It's rather straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the setup process.

The deployment is pretty quick. We had everything set up within a week or so. It's not a long, drawn-out process by any means.

The pricing is a bit costly. It could be lower.

We're resellers. We have a business relationship with the organization.

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm currently using right now.

This, overall, is a very good solution. It can solve a lot of problems related to compliance regulations. We looked at this kind of solution as we don't have a PCI. It works well for us.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

We find the solution to be reliable for our customers and it is nice that it is cloud-based and can be accessed from anywhere. It allows for smooth administration. The dashboard is so simple and the solution can be integrated with other vendors, even Cisco. This is why we have chosen to be resellers of the product. 

I do not see much room for improvement. I have not encountered any issues with the solution, though it may be worth checking this with the technical team involved in its implementation. 

This said, it is scalable for midsize companies and infrastructure but, owing to the regulations we have in place in Egypt, not every enterprise-sized company. This means the solution did not comply with everything in the financial sector, such as with our central bank. As such, one who is working in the financial sector must resort to another solution or, at the least, another one in addition to Okta Workforce Identity. 

The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing. 

I have been using Okta Workforce Identity for six or seven months.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable for midsize companies and infrastructure. 

While I can't speak on behalf of my colleagues, I have not made use of technical support. 

The pricing is reasonable.

While I don't have specific advice for those looking to implement the solution, I feel a visit is warranted for one who needs a cloud solution for SSO and identity management. 

I rate the solution as a seven to eight out of ten.
