Focusing on Identity and Security
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
Okta Identity Cloud has been very useful to me in organizing all of my applications in one centralized hub. I leverage Okta daily to access my various applications that I need to use on a daily basis to complete my job. Prior to using Okta, there was not a scalable SSO solution to access my applications, which made it very tedious and difficult to do my job effectively.
- Centralized access of applications
- Ease of SSO
- Scalability
- Design customization
- Lack of personalization
- Support

The Okta Identity Cloud - The clear leader in secure MFA for your Enterprise and much, much more!
The Okta Identity Cloud is leveraged extensively throughout our organization. Features utilized include universal directory capabilities via integration with Azure AD, streamlined cloud application distribution, user self-service password reset capabilities, and the ability to protect all of this ecosystem behind a strong multi-factor authentication offering that is very flexible, standardized (via SAML for example) and secure.
- Universal directory for all users
- User self-service password resets
- Multi-factor authentication
- Cloud application distribution
- Integration with on-prem directories can be complicated to setup
- Make it simpler to setup automation
- Very a la carte in nature, must pay additional for features which I feel should be included
- Admin interface is a little outdated
Yes
Over the past few years, there have been recommended upgrades to The Okta Identity Cloud that we would typically execute to take advantage of a new feature. Because it's a cloud native application, the upgrades have been extremely quick and easy with little to no downtime. This is even for upgrading on-premises connectors that are required for integration to the cloud.

Okta is a tool that worth their investiment!
Zwift as a gaming company uses a vast number of software tools in order to empower itself to create the best software as possible. With this came a new challenge - how do we manage such amount of different systems with security and speed?
In this sense, Okta was a perfect match for us - we were able to integrate multiple softwares through API and SAML, and for most of softwares, use SCIM for account creations. This empowered our ITOps team to manage it with a small number of resources without losing the operational excellence, getting more revenue.

Consistency at its finest
Most of the tools we are using is under the Okta Identity Cloud and because of that, we are positive that our access is always secured, protected and always up to date. The good things I found in using the Okta Cloud is it always reminds me every time the password I am using on my tools is already close to the expiry. Not only that, it also suggesting me to change the password before it gets expired and what are the days before it gets expired. In that way I can decide for my self if I want it to update my password right away or maximize the expiration date. I love the way it gives me the freedom to choose what day should I reset my password. In case I really missed the days on updating the password, the time I logged on my tools it will ask me to update my password right away so it will not cause me any inconvenience in the future. It is friendly-user and at the same time, the security is tight and as long as you follow the instructions, you will never get any confusions or inconvenience in using it. I highly recommend it to other business organizations because it is easy and safe to use.
- Maintenance of the tools we are using under Okta
- Easy access or friendly user of the tools under Okta
- The security of Okta making sure our personal information will be safe
- Fast and reliable sources that helps our work more accurate
- As of now, I can't think of any because it has always helped me out on my work every single day

Okta Identity Cloud is Efficient
The Okta Identity Cloud is a great product that is employed as a single sign-on service for my company. It stores log-in information for several different applications and platforms. All you have to do is log in to The Okta Identity Cloud in the beginning of the day and it will automatically sign you into stored platforms as you access them throughout the day. It is a great tool.
- Single Sign-On service
- Securely store and protect log-in information
- Access to many different applications in one place
- Face ID
- Frequency of required sign-ins
- More applications added to the central dashboard

Easy to use for Optimal Security
In my current company, we use Okta to manage security through SSO as well as using it to manage our applications. We have currently many applications/software that we use in each different team, so utilizing SSO and creating an application homepage per your role is really helpful and saves us time in terms of connection while ensuring security.
- Single Sign-On
- App Integration
- Bring your Own Device
- The mobile app opens to the browser which can be a bit annoying especially if you are signing in with a work account. It would be a lot easier and straight to the point if it recognized you have the mobile app.
- It logs you out pretty often which can be a bit painful to have to relogin to things every week.
- Customization of the application homepage

- Secure access regardless of device.

- The mobile app opens to the browser. It would be nice if it recognized you have the mobile app of the app you're trying to open, and it opens that instead of a browser.

Solid single sign-on platform to save time
I use Okta for a single sign-on to various applications, including the Microsoft Office suite, Certify, ADP payroll, and others.

OKTA SSO keeps you safe
I used it to authenticate all users on ALL platforms. It really helps to prevent credential theft. We were able to use it on all new and existing platforms. Users liked using it for SSO.
- Works across a lot of products.
- Gives very detailed logs.
- Allows users to use a single sign-on across multiple products.
- Revoking a single login terminates access to multiple products.
- Additional logging
- Automatic blocking and alerting
- Easier setup for a variety of products

Not the best for my workflow
We have all of our passwords saved which can be helpful as well as all of the platforms we use located in one place for easy access. Mostly the use case I find myself leveraging is a password saver. I acknowledge that I do not use the platform for its full value as it is not a part of my workflow.
- Password saver
- Enterprise recourse library
- The passwords can be more easily accessible for password editing.

The Okta Identity Cloud is a highly recommended for all businesses with so many web applications.
With Okta Identity Cloud, we're able to log in to multiple web applications on just one page securely. Okta Identity Cloud helps us manage single sign-on authentication with multiple web applications so that we do not need to log in to all of our applications one at a time. As a workforce analyst. This software is very much effective.
- Our employees became more productive with single sign on.
- The Okta Identity Cloud securely integrates almost all of our web applications and software.
- Very easy to use and the page loads quickly.
- We have The Okta Identity Cloud linked to AD DS and it's giving us sync issues with resetting the SSO password.

Best reliable solution for a secure sign on
It is the best solution to have the employees securely connect to the company network apps and websites by providing a secure single sign-on option. Once logged into the system on the company network, it identifies you, and all the apps and websites within the company that requires a log-in will give you automatic access(as per permission) by single sign-on. So no more typing the id password again and again for each of them.
- Single sign on over multiple applications and websites of the company.
- Multi-factor authentication is being provided for better security.
- Interface is very user friendly.
- Not faced any issues.

Intuitive SSO and Customer Access
I don't use it in the current organization, but used it at my previous one. Its main use was SSO and maintaining customer records outside of AD.
- SSO
- Customization
- Identity
- Customer directory
- Some of the UI was clunky or didnt make sense
- Setting admins could be more intuitive

okat sso
SSO and we integrate it for saml in products for authentication and authorization. It helps to ease up the things and most of the uses related to authorization as addressed.It is easy to configure and use. Very easy to implement and understand and provides very good documentation and Product is well made.
- SSO
- SAML
- OIDC
- Mobile app can be improved
- Login
- Kerberos
I use Okta to manage the internal user roles creation to provide customised product access to the users as per their roles and requirements. Okta is also used to enable single sign-on management for non-integrated services to access the programs easily without having to repeat the login for each program. I also lead the renewal conversations for the tool.
- Customised management of user roles and mapping for authentication.
- Allows integration with multiple products and services to cover a wide range of user workflows.
- Allows secure saving of passwords and centralising the work tools.
- The user interface of Okta is basic and needs improvement. There's some learning curve for new users.
- One time integration effort is high for the initial setup. Took us around 3 weeks.
- Okta times out pretty quick making us login multiple times in the day.

We use Okta Identity Cloud to access different types of tools that we use daily in our work. It enables us to change passwords easily on our end without further checking with any support like IT or SD support. It keeps the information secured because before we can access anything it asks for identification.
- Change password
- Personal identification
- Secure user authentication into different application
- Time management
- User friendly
- Not that I can think of.

Easy to use, Effective, A+
We use this to confirm employee's identities before they are able to access any business-specific software or websites. We use it throughout the entire company, and all departments. It is used in pretty much everything we do, and has been for as long as I have been with the company.
- verifies identities
- easy to use
- can access from anywhere
- issue if you dont have your device

Okta provides great Single Sign-On facility
We are using Okta Single Sign-On facility to login to all the services in our organisation. You have to enter your password only once and then with one-click you can easily get into the application. The major benefit is that there is no need to set and remember multiple credentials for each service available in your company. The sign-in session is active for a longer time so there is no requirement to do multiple logins. We also use Okta web app through which we can access apps provided by the organisation.
- A single consolidated web UI where you can access all apps provided by your organisation.
- Okta Single Sign-on facility for all apps.
- Integrate with third-party products to enable two-factor authentication.
- You can add more apps and navigate to recent apps via web UI.
- The service is little expensive so a discount for renew subscription would be good.
- I find very less resources about Okta so more documentation is required.
- Once the service is broken, resetting it back is a bit painful.
