The Okta Identity Cloud Reviews

The Okta Identify Cloud is primarily being used as a Two-Factor Authentication service to help keep our users that login to our main company portal secure. It's used by all departments that need access to the portal, and exists as both a desktop login, or as a mobile app. It allows for a consistent and secure tool for helping keep all our users' logins safe.

Our team really only uses [The] Okta [Identity Cloud] for logging into one platform, so we've not quite experienced this functionality. However, given the power and security we've experienced just in accessing this one platform, I can see this being very useful across other platforms as well.

Around one year ago TransferWise migrated from Google Single Sign On to Okta to have one identity management system across multiple services in our enterprise. We now use Okta across the whole organization, to ensure security access to all our internal systems.

Our IT team is constantly onboarding and integrating new services so that the experience is the same across all internal services for internal expenses, document management, vacations and health time off, surveys and other internal systems, including engineering specific tools like Github.

Integrating with Okta made our work lives easier, accessing those services is way more simple and secure now - and when an employee decides to leave, it's easier to offboard him from our platform and services all at once.

We use several systems from different cloud providers (Amazon, Google and Microsoft) - the flexibility and independence of Okta allows us to easily onboard new services and new employees, while managing the risks and relationships (access controls and user rights) well for a medium to large company. Onboarding new tools and services to Okta has happened smoothly and without hiccups.

We use The Okta Identity Cloud for our SSO solution. The Okta Identity Cloud has some great security features such as trusted locations, MFA, etc. It is used throughout the entire organization and we continue to use it as the default login for any service/product that supports it. It's flexible enough to sync users/passwords against AD and Google LDAP.

As Okta is more readily available, more software SAAS solutions or self-hosted solutions are easily configurable within Okta. This helps end-users (staff) as they are familiar with the Okta name and able to provide one username/password that is secure to log in.

Okta is one of the better directory/SSO products and is something we use daily. It solves things like onboarding and offboarding, plus app provisioning. Provisioning/Deprovisioning capabilities of Okta really stand out.

Okta allows us to centralize all user management features. The central management is amazing when it comes to onboarding and offboarding. Process is smooth and very easily understood by everyone.

Okta is configured for different Clients' environments where they face challenges with manual access management. Okta is a powerful tool that is easy to use and understand. Solved various business IAM issues.

Helped with single sign-on password management, ease of integration, timely management of account provisions, reduction in manual intervention. Universal directory helps in managing user groups and devices life cycle management was automated.

[The] Okta [Identity Cloud] is used across the entire organization to provide single sign-on, user and groups management, and application onboarding as well and user lifecycle management as users are provisioned or de-provisioned across the organization. The user interface is intuitive and easy to manage and scale for the entire organization.

Certainly, integrating various SaaS application with [The] Okta [Identity Cloud] allows for both single sign-on and multi-factor authentication to be enabled, users just need to remember one password which is synced across Active Directory and all other federated applications. Any new applications within the organization are onboarded first to [The] Okta [Identity Cloud] before being delivered to users across the globe. One single platform to go and with company branding, helps to prevent or minimize security incidents.

Okta is used by our entire company, we use it to connect to several programs and products that we use here. I find that it can be a super helpful tool but it's not as seamless as I hoped it would be. The text features get tedious when you're trying to re-authenticate and the verify app itself was working perfectly for a while, then I started having issues when I changed devices. I think it is a secure program and useful overall, just some minor hiccups that aren't major issues until you wanna get through the process quickly.

This isn't something I can speak to well.

Okta Workforce Identity is used as [a] single authentication tool used to login across all platforms within our organization. It is integrated with other VPNs like Cisco AnyConnect and acts as [a] primary authentication layer tool. All of the company’s communication ( G Suite, Slack, Jostle, etc.) tools are running under same authentication layer of Okta.

There are no multiple authentication training guides [that] need to [be] circulated and maintained. Benefits user to remember/store multiple password and credentials. One can easily monitor timeouts and downtime.

Ours is a banking company and we being analysts need access to various data sources, platforms like finance management, payroll management, and many more. Now OKTA Identity management helps us with the secured login to the system application and databases without us worrying about the password.
It literally makes our life much easier.

This feature is used widely across our organization for raising requests for new applications and the approver uses it too for approving or denying the requests. With the use of OKTA IDENTITY MANAGEMENT, the hustle of maintaining the user identity and verifying them at the approver level is avoided. For payroll management also benefit this identity management to access our payroll data.

I am using this since June 2021. This is a two way authenticator that gives the protection to access any website with any software product. If you are using this it will not allow you to enter any interface without verification. The good thing about there is no need to put a verification code, only need to click Yes from your mobile. It is easy to use and configurable.

It also provides an SOS facility.

Okta is being used across our entire organization. The Single-Sign-On allows for an easy flow of software and application access without the requirement of having to login to each application separately. This makes our jobs more efficient and allows us to assist our customers quicker. To be able to get to our customers faster allows for us to make our customers happy.

No additional benefit.

It's the SSO solution for the enterprise providing authentication services.

It has made integration relatively painless, especially from the SaaS application perspective.

The Okta Identity Cloud is used by our entire company to manage all of the access to our Cloud-based programs. It makes it easy for all our employees, regardless of where they work from whether or not they're in the office to easily access all of their assigned programs via one single token based login.

Although a lot of our services are under AWS, we do have specific needs for some software to be hosted in other Cloud environments. We've had no issues integrating all of them under The Okta Identity Cloud. It's been a single-point solution for us which we're extremely happy with.

Okta Identity Cloud is used as a single sign-on solution for integrating the web and mobile applications used throughout the organization. This is a scalable and effective method which enables users to simply log in to different applications with one single sign-on. It solves the business problems which arise from keeping track of multiple different login systems, which can get convoluted and difficult to synchronize.

Our organization has benefited from the centralized identity management platform of Okta Identity Cloud by enabling us to use this platform to centralize all user logins across the different web and mobile applications used by the organizations. This has allowed the organization to benefit from the simplicity and scalability of the centralized platform, allowing us to quickly and easily add and remove and update users across different applications.

Okta is used as a SSO and MFA tool across our whole organization. It ensures compliance with cyber-security standards and addresses security in a very strong way that is easy to use and manage. It also ensures our company has all necessary logs at our hands without having to work with various vendors.

Okta is a very easy to manage tool that works nicely with all vendors and SaaS applications for different types of federation protocols. Having everything managed in the cloud with next to zero downtime is also very beneficial.

We use The Okta Identity Cloud across our entire organization for SSO and MFA to almost 90 public cloud and internally developed applications. Okta allows us to gain some control over the sprawl of credentials to an ever growing list of applications.

The fact that Okta is "neutral" or maybe more accurately described as flexible and widely supported is definitely a benefit. Okta makes it easy to connect to other systems via agents and multiple modes of managing credentials and access and this allows us to integrate things which are maybe not classic use cases for Single Sign On or don't directly support MFA for instance.

We are using Okta Identity Cloud for a fully integrated identity and access management. All our new Finance, Operations, and HR applications are being developed with Okta IAM integration in focus. Existing applications are also being integrated with Okta for better security and user identity lifecycle management. Okta Identity Cloud offers highly scalable Single Sign On and MFA capabilities.

We have heavily benefitted from Okta's centralized identity management. Okta serves as our universal directory and controls identity lifecycle. Access provisioning and deprovisioning is now centralized for employee status changes. This means instead of having to deactivate / lock or delete a user's account at multiple places over an extended periods of time manually, Okta is the only system that acts as the master application where user access state is maintained. IT and Service Desk now save significant efforts due to this.

The Okta Identity Cloud is used in our organization as a single sign on security application. This addresses the need for our company to feel safer when using their cloud based applications. It also allows for our company to adhere to best practices when it comes to our internal security. We also manage it for other clients.

The centralized identity management platform isn’t used by our company as of it. We are looking into expanding our current use of The Okta Identity Cloud.

It is used by our entire organization to authenticate and authorize users to various applications. It serves as a single source of identity for our applications regardless of which cloud they are in, allowing us to be multi cloud. It offers many integrations with other SaaS applications, so that users can just click a tile on their home screen and get signed into that SaaS provider.

Definitely! This was one of the main reasons we chose Okta over something like Azure AD. The fact that they only do identity and don't try to sell other cloud services gives them an incentive to not lock us into a certain cloud, or prioritize their own platforms. We can write our apps once and run anywhere!

My company use Okta to manage single-sign on and identify management for our entire 500 person company. This helps us maintain secure logins, prevent unsafe passwords, and more. This also helps our IT team manage permissions for our employees.

We use dozens of services and apps across our company. Okta helps us manage these from one place, making the provisioning process faster and simpler than before we used it.

The Okta Identity Cloud is being used across my entire organization supporting in the security of all of the systems we use, client data preservation, employee data preservation, and overall security. The Okta Identity Cloud ensures only those with the correct credentials can access what they are allowed to and prevents those without access. Its ease of use and implementation across a large platform of services and applications make it stand out among similar services.

We are a big corporation with many internal and SaaS apps. We leverage Okta for all the authentication sequences. We use the portal and the add-on. You need some experience with using SAML to add new apps. Okta is integrating with LDAP which is very convenient also provisioning new users is a vert cook use case

Yes, you don't need to configure 2fa for each app separately. Saves a lot of man hours

As mentioned before, tons more time back in my day and other employees' days over the course of weeks, months, and years.

[The Okta Identity Cloud] is used for corporate employees in the US (I'm not sure about other countries or customer support roles). [The Okta Identity Cloud] keeps information secure and manageable now that most people aren't working in the office.

Having a centralized identity management platform streamlines the process. [There are] less usernames and passwords to remember. Only having to log in once increases security.

The entire organization uses [The Otka Identity Cloud] for single sign-on services. This has been a great help for those that have multiple applications they interface with during the day. As it is all online, the application has been especially useful for remote working. There are super users that assist with access and they are very responsive.

[The Otka Identity Cloud]'s centralized identity management platform remains neutral across multiple cloud environments and SaaS applications [have] benefitted our company by allowing all employees the ability to use the platform and the ability to connect many different applications to the platform and thus streamlining the log on process for these applications.
