ComplyCube vs. Okta

Based on our experience with the platform, ComplyCube's verification engine is highly effective in verifying our customers' identities and risk profiles, making it well-suited for large-scale customer onboarding projects. ComplyCube also covers a high number of jurisdictions and industries. Still, it's important to consider your organization's specific needs and requirements to determine whether it's the right fit for you.

It has extensive compatibility and rich feature set of integrating with a wide array of core systems and SaaS platforms. Daily I utilize Okta's user-friendly central hub to simplify access the numerous applications we utilize within my company (Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Salesforce, Microsoft Office 365, among many others.)

• Our previous vendor's solution lacked many of the enterprise features we required. ComplyCube was able to address all of these deficiencies. Not only did it provide us with the enterprise-level features we required, but it also proved to be more compliant with AML/KYC regulations.
• The platform was easy to use for both our end customers and back-office teams, which was a significant advantage in terms of user adoption and productivity.

• Centralized control of enterprise passwords
• Extensive customization of acceptable password criteria
• One system for Identity and Access Management to learn
• Scalable throughout the university for all central services
• Uniform login experience for students, faculty, and staff
• Single point of response to address termination of access
• Ability to use FastPass for lower priority systems
• Excellent support of multi-factor requirements

• Though I have no major complaints, I do have a minor suggestion for improvement. It would be beneficial to have a native BI connector for Tableau to facilitate MI extraction. Currently, we use ComplyCube's API in Tableau Dashboards, which is already an improvement over our previous system. However, a native connector would further enhance the speed and efficiency of our data exploration.

• I'm not sure it's really a room for improvement thing, but due to the granularity offered by Okta, sometimes it can be challenging to find exactly what you're looking for.
• There was an instance in which we had issues getting SAML configured for an application. I feel this challenge was mostly user error (on our part) because we didn't realize the SAML instructions were SPECIFIC to each app integration and changed (codes) each time. We attempted to mirror the settings/configurations of an existing app (same app, but different domain). I think having a note somewhere that indicated that the instructions were unique to each integration would have saved us a bit of time. Again, I'm not sure this is really an issue with Okta though, more of a user learning curve thing.
• Sometimes searching for things is a challenge (without the "Rockstar" add-in). For example, if you have a user group called "Okta_users_everyone", searching for "everyone" will not find it. You have to search for the beginning of the object name (not just any part of it). The ability to search partial or wildcard would greatly enhance search functionality.

My team and I are pleased with ComplyCube - it helped us with the following:

• Automate customer and corporate onboarding
• Reduce operational risk and manual tasks
• Streamline our processes across multiple geographies
• Provides insights and helpful information on our corporate customers

While doing all the above, they've demonstrated excellent service, which is why we renewed with ComplyCube and will keep doing in the future, should they maintain the same service quality

Okta has a passion to provide secure and scalable identity solution. Their passion has come across as advocacy in a way that has deepened my knowledge of the field of authentication. I took identity for granted before but after seeing features such as external authentication I know that Okta can enable my business to reach new heights

ComplyCube has been very user-friendly and easy to navigate overall. The interface is intuitive and the platform is designed with the end-user in mind, which makes it easy to use even for those who are not particularly tech-savvy. The platform is also customizable, which allows us to tailor it to our specific compliance needs.

Some of its features are great and some are slightly complex and not easy without vendor support.

We have not had a single unplanned downtime or issue since we've partnered with ComplyCube.

The Okta Identity Cloud advertises 4 9's of reliability and I would go as far to say that it may even do better than that. As a true Global organization that operates in just about every region of the world, we have yet to have an issue with The Okta Identity Cloud that has impacted our business operations.

ComplyCube checks are super fast. Their SLAs are public and can confirm most checks take seconds. It's one of the fast identity verification vendors we've ever worked with.

From my perspective, for the things that my group uses it for, Okta is very fast. It is as least as fast as the local password database methods that it replaces on our campus enterprise services. I do not believe that it slows anything down at all. In fact, not having to think too much about the login, because they all look the same, probably speeds things up somewhat.

The ComplyCube support team has been and continues to be very responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful whenever we have any questions or require assistance regularly. We currently work with several vendors across our various global operations, but I would easily single out ComplyCube's support as being the best my team and I dealt with

We've had a few support cases over the years and every case has been handled by the Okta support team beautifully. We received clear answers to questions we had regarding setup and even were provided simple to follow guides on how to setup their product to use with custom applications.

Training was conducted via MS Team, and the instructor was helpful and demonstrated strong knowledge in the AML and platform space.

The training was on point in terms of depth and covered all the aspects we were after. The platform provides a range of resources to help new users get up to speed, including training videos, documentation, and live calls.

Implementation was hassle-free as the API well document and support were on hand.

ComplyCube presented itself as the most comprehensive solution for our KYC needs - their services are granular across all their services. All the vendors assessed tended to offer granularity on a couple of features but were quite basic in other areas. As we wanted to reduce the number of external vendors and relations, a one-stop shop like ComplyCube was ideal.

With respective to user interface and license cost, we thought The Okta Identity Cloud was better than other tools for use. Their customization of license was another reason for us to go with The Okta Identity Cloud over other tools.

We have a customer that uses our integration of ComplyCube, and they perform millions of checks per year across a number of countries.

Being a cloud native application, The Okta Identity Cloud is extremely scalable and easy to setup. By integrating into existing directories and applications via standard techniques and protocols, it is very easy to both initially setup and add additional users as required. Once all the necessary integrations are setup, it's a simple rinse and repeat process to onboard additional users (which can be automated with imports as well)

• It was all positive, given the startup program credits received!
• It saved us time too, as our manual processes have now been automated, which frees up the team to do other tasks
• The onboarding experience had evidently improved our conversion rates

• Customer experience has been a big win for us. Extremely minimal issues reported.
• We did not have a PAM in place at all until The Okta Identity Cloud
• Relatively easy to deploy. No major downtimes to deploy was a nice bonus.
