The Okta Identity Cloud Workforce Identity is very reliable solution to manage identities especially in terms of security. It helps us to lessen the work of help desk admin as well as us IAM Admin. The only thing I hate with The Okta Identity Cloud is that the support engineer are delaying the issues like they are not available or sometimes no align internally.

The Okta Identity Cloud is great integrating with other platforms and directories. It also offers great flexibility and scalabilities for companies of any sizes. It is definitely a great solution as a single sign on service. The Okta Identity Cloud might not be recommended if a company has limited resources and is looking for a more budget friendly alternative.

It's very easy to access sales tools like Clari and Salesforce. Being able to access both easily from the same tile page makes a workflow for forecasting much more seamless and efficient. The ability to log in from a single sign-on outside of just those tabs also helps a lot.

I would definitely suggest this tool to my colleagues. When it comes to single sign to integrate all our applications under one umbrella, this will be the tool to go for sure. In our company, when we were moving our applications to the cloud one by one, we wanted one tool that could serve as a platform for all the applications with one password and with enhanced multi factor authentication and we choose The Okta Identity Cloud.
When it comes to SAP, integration with The Okta Identity Cloud was a little tedious.

Okta is best set for businesses with multiple Saas applications and resources that will allow users to have streamlined access to the different resources without having to log in to each and every application. The downside of Okta is the ability to have personalization across the different resources, but this really won't hamper the everyday business user.

I feel like The Okta Identity Cloud is the gold-standard for identity verification and multi-factor authentication. Any organization looking to bolster the security of their infrastructure should consider integrating these additional layers of protection into their protocols. The end user experience is relatively seamless, with an easy-to-use app that provides multiple options for multi-factor authentication.

Okta is the perfect solution once the company has grown to have a tech stack comprising more than 10 applications across at least 20 employees. It makes onboarding and off-boarding nearly seamless and makes it easy for the employee to know where/how to log in to required systems.

For smaller companies without a sophisticated IT team I could Okta being a bit too much to manage to start.

Okta Identity Cloud is Perfect for SSO integrations, Easy and supported by most of the vendors. Also they are supporting Auth zero and fastpass, passwordless login which again helping organizations in staying ahead in the game. They are providing several such features which would help securing Okta tenant in all ways.

While I can't speak to the pricing, Okta is pretty user-friendly overall and convenient in managing the provisioning of users and viewing and accessing your commonly used work apps. I also trust that the level of security is strong, minimizing risk.

Based on my experience the Okta Identity Cloud is well suited for larger corporations with a variety of tools. It helps to add the tools to the portfolio while maintaining a level of cyber security and helping with SSO so the users do not have to remember many passwords.
For smaller corporations or Startups it might be too much.

This product has been in our enterprise for a while and new features are always welcome. Some other SIEM products in the market do offer additional features that Okta Identity Cloud can provide as well.

Organisations requiring more custom rules for access, specifically non Microsoft organisations. Having said this it can integrate with Microsoft as well.
Complex onboarding’s for various applications makes things much easier for IT admins as well, setting up users in one location as opposed to various applications. After all that’s what identify management is for!

Okta Identity Cloud is ideal for any company with multiple users who are looking for an easy way to manage company apps and sign into them with ease. It's a great tool for any company, no matter the size. I used Okta before coming to my current company, and the previous company in mention was much smaller in scale.

The Okta Identity Cloud is in my opinion the premier tool for providing MFA to your workforce. Extremely easy to setup, standards based, stable, and a lot of user self setup/self help features. Makes managing user identify and disparate directories much more simple. Less appropriate for providing a true application portal experience for users as it's integrations in that area are mostly for cloud-based applications and not on-prem systems.

Appropriate to: integration in a heterogeneous environment, where threre's multiples system, OS' and roles that need to be setup. Okta works well with multiples OS and guarantee standarization of all these softwares in a unique and easy interface. Okta is also good for startups and medium size company, because besides being expensive you can balance this high cost with a basic IT team, due to the easyness of the software.

Not appropriate to: companies that relies strongly in solutions of a single supplier, like Microsoft or Google. In these scenarios, will be chepear and faster to the inherit SSO solution.

On my daily basis of using Okta, it never failed to amuse me in every work-related concerns. Using the updated tools I am using under Okta, I can confidently provide best and quality options to every customer and clients I deal with. Because of the up to date information we have on the tools we are using, as a team lead coordinator talking with clients about hotel group reservations, we are able to assist them and look for the best available hotel that meets their preferences using the accurate information we have on the tools under Okta. Because of this, our repeat customers are also recommending our service to their friends and colleagues. In that way we also improve our sales and expand our growing team with the help of Okta. Easy to access, secured logins and accurate information designed for success for every business. I will receive a call from a client looking for a group reservation for a particular event, using the tools under Okta, I will provide the available hotels we have that suites the needs of the client then, close the booking as easy as that. Okta helps to make the work easier as I am using it when I started this company way back August 16, 2021.

The Okta Identity Cloud is very well suited to act as a single sign-on tool for an enterprise. It allows you to sign-in once at the beginning of your day and then automatically signs you in to other platforms that you access throughout the day. For example, your email, calendar, HR software, or any other application can be linked to the system. It reduces the risk of forgetting log-in credentials and saves time throughout the day.

Basically, there are whole lot of Applications in OKta Integration Network. So whenever you want to integrate those , you are just few steps away. More understandable rules and policies . OKtA is best suited for Single sign on federated authentication. There are options Like Just in Time provision So as soon as user is there in Source you can provision it with no wait

I think this works well for dual login to any financial, proprietary, or CRM information that requires (or should require) an extra layer of security. We also use this to sign on to Microsoft 365 and other softwares jointly shared across our network. This program may not be appropriate for small businesses that does not require file sharing or logins to Cloud based systems.
