The Okta Identity Cloud: Amazing single-console sign on saves wasted time on password issues.
- Single Sign On
- Waste Less Time
- Once in a while, there are some glitches that still require me to login manually.
Reliable Security that's Easy to Deploy to a Large Team
- SMS verification codes
- The side-car mobile able
- Easy-to-use
- [It has some] blocky/clunky aesthetics.
- Sometimes it feels like it requires you to update your password too often for simple input mistakes.
- Pricing [could be better].
The Okta Identity Cloud Review: Saves time logging into platforms
- Organizes products and tools in one place. This is especially helpful if you forget the name of a program.
- Makes it easy to log into all your top tools - just log into [The Okta Identity Cloud] once a day.
- It's secure.
- [In my experience] the need to routinely update my password is really obnoxious. First off, my password gets more obscure every time, and second, it logs me out of [The Okta Identity Cloud] on other devices. Meaning my Google Calendar notifications on my phone completely stop until I remember to log in to everything on my phone again.
- I [dislike] the constant notifications to log in. I don't need [The Okta Identity Cloud] every day, so it's not relevant. For example, I may need access to Jira on Monday, so I log in to [The Okta Identity Cloud]. But I may go Tuesday without needing access to any tools, so the constant reminder to log in for the day [I feel] is irritating. I'd like to at least be able to hit ignore.
- I imagine losing your phone is a headache. It's one thing to walk into another room of the house to retrieve my phone (which is intentionally not in my office). It would be another to not have my phone entirely. It would be great to verify security [in] another way, such as email.
Okta provides a safe easy single sign on service
- Single sign on
- Handling multiple applications
- Ensuring employees are able to stay secure with many accounts

The Okta way to Cloud Apps

- Better reporting ability would be helpful
- Built in query can assist troubleshooting
Overall a useful and secure tool that comes with minuscule issues
- Connect multiple company wide programs for easy login
- Browser extension that is easily accessible and straight forward
- easier verify app usage, its a little minimal and i find hard to navigate sometimes

Great Product for Faster Development Experience
I have really enjoyed the service and support from Auth0. They quickly answer all of our questions and have gone beyond expectations to make sure we understand how their platform works, and how we can better utilize the service to meeting our authentication and authorization needs.
- Login
- Social Login
- Ease of setup
- More UI elements
- More Verbose documentation
- More social logins
It has been a great experience using the product, given that Auth0 is a trusted Identity product, we have not much complains benefiting from the features that the product is getting us. It is up to standard, and we have not much worry to get the platform into production usage.
Auth0 - Simple and Easy Login solution.
- Social Media Login Integration
- SSO Login
- Separate domain login for apps and websites
- Custom domain implementation could be made a little easy
- Pricing can be further reduced for paid plans
- Deployment integrations can be simplified for popular hosting platforms.
Excellent developer experience at a price
- User database and management
- Hosted login and logout
- SDKs for almost every framework
- Many tutorials and guides
- More in-depth guides for other frameworks like Svelte
- More competitive pricing (eg. vs AWS Cognito, Azure AD B2C)
- Pricing details beyond 10K MAUs
Quality service that is worth your time
- Good documentation
- Widely used and trusted in the industry
- Very little downtime or outages
- Needs better self service APIs for developers
- Needs more supported client libraries for developers
- Needs to support common developmemt frameworks sooner after they release
The right choice for enterprise customers
- Third-party integrations.
- Use of JWT.
- Ease to start.
- Lack of control. For example, on the verification code sent by SMS.
- Lack of implementation between different services.
Migrated to Okta from from Google SSO one year ago and work life has been smooth ever since
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.
- Single sign on
- Multi-factor authentication
- Multiple services integration
- Notifications
- Onboarding customer on new services
Okta makes identify management easy
- Manage permissions for our employees
- Sign users into their services
- Connect to secure two-factor authentication (2FA)
- Require fewer logins throughout the workday – I'd like Okta to remember users' identities for at least 24 hours after login.
- Contemporary design – the login screens look outdated but function well.
- Manage users
- Manage logins
- Track activities
Less suited for smaller organizations that do not plan to grow.
- No need to pay that much to manage users, logins, and activities.
Auth0 fits our solution stack (for now)
- Easy to implement
- Clear documentation and use cases
- Ability to scale with our company as we grow
- Annoying sales people
- Shift from open source to for-profit model
- Unsure of their future roadmap as they are now profit driven and no longer open source
Okta feature rich, great value for the cost
- security
- sso
- onboarding
- admin ui
- user ui
Not Great if: If you have limited knowledge of security or if you need to manually configure an application. The Okta Identity Cloud has a great amount of apps, compatible with out-of-the-box, and it can be manually configured for other applications. If someone is not familiar with or comfortable making some application configuration changes, this may be challenging.
When it comes to single sign on look no further
- Extremely simple to use and manage
- Excellent mobile app regardless of the OS you're using
- Easily manages a user access level and the programs that are assigned to them
- Simple UI that's configurable per user
- It can be confusing for the first-time user to switch between The Okta Identity Cloud sign-on and the token generating app if they're trying to do everything from their phone.
One point authentication solution
- Real time accurate push authentication notifications
- Password recovery management
- Accessibility on any platform
- Approve authentication device dependency
- A specific authentication can only be granted for maximum time frame of 24 hours. One had to re-authenticate an access session after 24 hours.
Great experience
- Authenticate
- Personalize login
- Create rules
- Roles
- Usages of user metadata
