Okta is a perfect single-sign on solution
Verified User
Consultant in Information Technology
Utilities Company, 10,001+ employees
We recently deployed Okta for the entire organization to simplify the login process for the applications we use, both on-premise and in the cloud. It also solves the problem of single sign-on and mainly saves a lot of implementation time, deployment, and maintenance cost for hardware and software. It solves the issue of simplifying security and authentication in the whole organization.
- Easy to navigate
- A trusted tool used in most corporate environments
- Simplifies corporate authentication with an added layer of security, I.E. the multi-factor authentication
- Password Vault for Unix landscape is not easy to set up when compared to other SSO tools
- Adds an additional layer of complexity if you have multiple forests/domains in the environment
It is suited everywhere due to the number of cyber attacks and malicious attempts to steal identities or information. The additional layer of security and integration with corporate apps leaves no room for hackers. It helps to track devices where the user logs in and simplifies the security audit procedure.
