It allowed for our organization to be 100% remote in regards to supporting our customers. I am sure that from an IT perspective, our organization sees the benefit of having a tool that connects you to others within the organization and externally, that it just makes our jobs easier to do

When COVID 19 struck and there was an immediate shift to work from home in order to keep the business operational. The Okta Identity Cloud was tapped to ensure that users were able to securely access critical systems from anywhere in the world. Setup was extremely user-friendly and enabled us to get up and running quickly and keep the business humming along. This was especially critical to a company that is in the business of supplying critical medical products during a Global pandemic.

Every employee was asked to work from home initially when the Covid Pandemic started. There were many employees who had never setup their home offices as well as the ability for them to access their work computers remotely. There was no way for them to access the Network drives remotely. Our IT department had to work around the clock to get everyone setup using Citrix and VPN setups. Since we have Okta authentication, we had to make adjustments using our Active Directory to ensure that every employee was able to access without disruptions.

As an end user my usage of Okta has not changed since COVID 19 which is a good thing. No change or interrupts in service have made me feel secure and reassured during working from home knowing that Okta would not present issues that would require my IT department to intervene. I cannot speak directly to their COVID-19 response at a higher level.

Okta allowed us to more confidently allow our users to work from during the lockdowns in the various cities our company works out of. If we didn't have an SSO solution that was as robust as Okta it would have been much more difficult. Identity management was just one less thing we had to worry about in such a short timeframe. I'm glad we already had it implemented prior to the pandemic.

Having Okta in place was essential for us to shift to all-remote operations in response to COVID-19. Since Okta is completely cloud-based, our employees had access to all of their essential business applications even when working remotely. There were no dependencies on our internal infrastructure. In addition, Okta's seamless multifactor authentication gave us extra peace of mind.

We have expanded our use of Okta for authentication for VPN as a 2 factor authentication provider due to the heavy use of remote computing during COVID-19. This increased security for our remote users which happened to be most of the company during COVID-19. The setup of Okta was very easy and it was just a matter of turning on that additional authentication setting on our VPN firewall to work flawlessly with Okta.

Having Okta in place before COVID was a huge help for us - since we are all now remote, it's been great to be able to have access to all of our apps so easily through Okta and has been a huge benefit for our IT team especially since we are all spread out now.
