Okta- Singing in one day at a time

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

For single Sign on, it hels me access Hundreds of apps from a single source, its great since i dont have to login to each and every single app every time i login, just 1 login and i can access all the applications which is great. In my earlier organisations i had to remember multiple passwords but now its very simple.

Pros

  • Multi App logins
  • Single sessions for entire day
  • Awesome security
  • Good interface easy to use

Cons

  • You can increase the time it stays logged in or provide user that option to set the time
  • Built in password manager would be amazing, the current capabilities are bad
  • Dark mode is missing need it asap

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for people who need a single sign on and don’t want to remember multiple passwords. The gui and interface is easy to use, it is very simple. It would have been amazing if the password manager feature would be good. And if there was a dark mode

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Okta in my organization to view my incentive statements , plan summary with detailed view on commission rates that include billable hours , service billings ,service revenue ,Global service rate table, Services CB over achievement and service revenue over achievement. Okta via Xactly docs intiates the workflow for awaiting approval task for which you also receives reminders to approve official documents of organization.

Pros

  • Login process is single sign on which means if I login to Okta I access other official stuff like UKG, outlook , slack etc.
  • Multifactor authentication that prevents from phishing for example employee is working from remote location and location is being changed system sends notification for 2 step verfication which is great feature .
  • Automated HR to Employee workflows for approval .

Cons

  • Reporting is average -risk of missing important stuff during audits.
  • Sometimes I felt workflow is a bit slow
  • MFA sometimes doesnt work as expected and you get to verify repititively

Likelihood to Recommend

Where Okta is well suited 1. Multiple products can be used using single sign on and MFA. 2. Makes life easier when you have good amount of hires in your organization and smooth access to all systems by simply logging into Okta will solve. Where Okta is less appropriate 1. Small organization which uses just 1-2 apps . Cost gets higher in that case.

Okta for ease of access and security

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I mostly used Okta for multi-factor authentication (MFA), wherein after logging in through email and password in order to provide more security Okta helps to enforce more security by connecting your mobile device to authentic that its you through signing in using a number or a group of numbers which are meant for a specific user.

Pros

  • MFA
  • Single sign on
  • Secure access

Cons

  • Slow UI
  • When userd fails to log in and gets error message , the error message is vague
  • Inconsistent sometimes

Likelihood to Recommend

For my scenario whenever a new user used to get added within the team he/she was added to the Okta system based on role based access the email of that person. Also its is easy to add or remove users through Okta rather than doing long procedures. After adding the person had to register his number as well that enabled MFA for better security.

Solid IAM platform to apply security policies consistently

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It provides a single point of management for user identities, allows us to utilize SSO user groups to access applications easily, and we particularly appreciate the ability to enforce consistent password policies that have led to a significantly increased operational efficiency, a stronger security posture, and a much simpler, more scalable access management experience.

Pros

  • Enforces security policies like MFA and disk encryption on Macs and Windows devices.
  • Simplifies account setup, deactivation, and password resets.
  • The Zero Trust features greatly strengthen our security.

Cons

  • The initial setup, especially migrating existing users and devices requires a bit of planning.
  • Sometimes it can be inconsistent with how things work successfully.
  • More integrations are needed for this product.

Likelihood to Recommend

For us, it’s all about centralizing user identity, access control, and device management and Okta works with both Apple and Microsoft which makes it great for our company with diverse infrastructure. Their user interface and security standards were great for what we needed thus giving us great visibility into users and endpoints within our environment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At [...], we use Okta for secure identity and access management. It centralizes authentication, enabling employees to access multiple applications with a single login. It helps manage user accounts efficiently, especially when onboarding or offboarding. Okta make sure we secure password storage, reduces the risk of unauthorized access, and streamlines IT processes across the organization.

Pros

  • It's simplies password storage
  • It's quick to pull up the password prefill option
  • I like this it has an option for personal passwords and separates from the business side.

Cons

  • When it comes to Macs it easier to bypass and let MAC/Google prefill. This defeats the purpose but I'm sure users do it when they are limited on time.
  • The dashboard can be overwhelming for new users. Some settings are buried within submenus

Likelihood to Recommend

I’d rate Okta an 8 out. It’s a reliable and secure identity management platform that simplifies access control across our organization. Features like single sign-on and multi-factor authentication work well and save time. One thing that I love, is the integration with the apple watch so I can I verify log ins quickly!

One of the best products for MFA.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Okta for single sign-on (SSO) with Google Workspace. OKTA syncs with Workspace, and with that, we were able to activate MFA for all our email accounts. With password policies and application scope creation, we can use the OKTA platform for multiple services. We have been using it for 8 years now.

Pros

  • Has MFA capabilities for Google Workspace.
  • Sync with my AD for SSO with Citrix.
  • There are advanced access security features.

Cons

  • OKTA could have more complete dashboards, with more access statistics.
  • OKTA could evolve further in its integration function between security tools.
  • Reports could be more complete and intuitive.

Likelihood to Recommend

OKTA is a good fit for both basic and advanced MFA, with SSO for primary tech services, as well as physical key integrations and Active Directory synchronization policies, making access management significantly easier. For small businesses, the prices may be a bit high, and there may be a need for IT professionals to manage the application.

Likelihood to Recommend

bilingual, you can use spanish and it works very well, it’s response is very fast, you can quickly search apps, and requests permissions, maybe some extra support for things you can’t find would be great, otherwise, the functionality that is present now, works very well, and no need for extra stuff, thank you
