Chose Okta
Okta over UKG Pro choosen just for simple and straight forward reason is SSO/MFA login ,security is been taken care. We have automated onboarding with Okta where UKG I feel is more inclined towards payroll stuff. So in all Okta offers flexibility where I can use multiple …
Chose Okta
Okta is more easier to handle than CyberArk. The webpage is more understandable.
Chose Okta
Okta’s ability to consolidate so many apps in one platform created a very user friendly work environment. It’s robust identity management and security features made it a standout choice for our company as we looked to simplify access management.
Chose Okta
Okta and Auth0 are similar in a number of ways, but ultimately they serve different cases. Okta is likely the preferred option for scenarios where IT or other admin staff need the ability to control account access for other staff members.
Chose Okta
It’s conditional access and Zero Trust policies give us strong security control without complicating user experience and we no longer require on-prem AD set ups, which is a huge plus for us due to its cloud directory capabilities.
Chose Okta
The only others services that I use for password storage are my google work account and Apple iCloud. Overall, I'd rank apple the lowest . Gmail is the most convenient in terms of quickly going to a site and having the password prefill. Where Okta is better than Google though, …
Chose Okta
We selected Okta since as I mentioned earlier, speed means a lot to our account. The reason behind that is because it enables us a lot faster and utilize our apps better. Do not get me wrong, PingOne is a great app, its just that the app itself does not have the processing …
Chose Okta
Substantial ease of accessibility, usability, and compatibility, along with superior platform of integration towards a simplified central hub feature set.
Chose Okta
We use the Twilio Authy app to authenticate for our payroll/benefits application, and prefer Okta to the Twilio application. It is more user-friendly and easier to install and manage.
Chose Okta
We ended up going with OKTA has it had a wider breadth of services from a security perspective at the time so we felt like we were getting more bang for our buck. Not only were we able to take advatage of SSO for all of our apps but we were able to leverage the device trust …
Chose Okta
- Many features like SSO, MFA, API access management etc.
- Integration with third party apps
- Company needs
Chose Okta
This was compared to Cisco Duo which we had previously for MFA along with Okta for application access.
Chose Okta
Okta is worlds better than any other IDP Solution that I have come across.
Their documentation on integrations is STELLAR, their support staff is knowledgeable and awesome, their service is reliable and just works.
Chose Okta
Okta provides a better user experience and a portal to make things simple not only for the admins but also the customers. Compared to Entra and Duo Okta is light years ahead in innovation and user experience.
Chose Okta
Previous to Okta, we did not have a central cloud IdP system, each app had it's own authentication and authorization internally. That led to a fairly messy and divergent situation where every system had a different method and look for authentication and authorization. …
Chose Okta
I'd say that Okta handles authentication more efficiently than Duo. It covers more applications and is easier to manage.
Chose Okta
We have no experience with other products. In the past we have considered to implement Google SSO and Apple SSO, we did some partial development, but we never released those changes.
Chose Okta
At the time when we moved from ADFS to Okta, Okta was the superior product for are use case. There was no ADFS/SAML connection available for for Citrix Cloud. Now, Entra ID has progressed and is supported by almost every application, we might be moving back to Entra ID.
Chose Okta
We have used Azure Entra ID which sometimes lacks compatibility with new SAAS apps and also not so easy to manage user access provisioning and deprovisioning like Okta. Also I believe managing sign-on policies are easy in Okta as comparison to Azure AD.
Chose Okta
Not too well. The password store in NetIQ (a.k.a. eDirectory) was FIPS 140 certified.
The CAS opensource platform, paired with eDirectory was never hacked and provided true SSO across more than 200 in-house and hosted servers.

Cons
Okta
  • 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.

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

Reliability and Availability
Okta
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.

Performance
Okta
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.

Support Rating
Okta
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.

Okta
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.

Scalability
Okta
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)

Return on Investment
Okta
  • 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.
