Overall Satisfaction with The Okta Identity Cloud
Used by a client for secure single sign on, the organisation has a single point of access for all applications. Using Okta not only improves security, but onboarding of users which allows less time for setup and more time focusing on the job at hand.
- Single sign on - sign in once per day to access any app
- Conditional access - block overseas access
- Integrations to third party tools
- Integrations with single sign on - however this does require third parties to work more with Oauth systems
- Direct integrations with tools with plugins. Eg Wordpress websites, atlassian tools etc
- Reduced onboarding time
- Reduced user confusion with various passwords
- Reduced time for users accessing various applications each day
Using Okta that is focusing only on authentication does allow slightly more experience and features over your standard bolt on features in Microsoft and Google G-Suite for example. Ie Okta specialises where other vendors often spread their focus across too many applications and features
Limited experience other than with sales. Self on boarded. Support was responsive during one issue we had with custom branding.
No impact to uptime, I don’t think we have ever noticed an issue whilst using!!
