Overall Satisfaction with The Okta Identity Cloud

Our org uses Okta to manage access to all of the software applications that are managed by the IT department. It allows the IT department to control access to different software applications we purchase and it gives the user the ability to not need to remember their password which is a nice feature.
  • It always works
  • Single sign-on is nice and easy
  • Easy for IT to give access to something
  • Not easy to find your password
  • Only works for software IT gives access too
  • Not super flexible
  • Faster IT response
  • More security
  • Scalability
LastPass is also used in our org but for different purposes. Okta gives more control to the IT department where LastPass gives more control to the user. Ultimately, Okta was a better solution to allow the IT department to scale and keep control over software access over time. LastPass doesn't have as much control there.
Okta works great for an IT department that wants to top-down control access to each software app that they manage. It doesn't work as well for the end user that is trying to manage all of their passwords, not just the passwords for the apps the IT group cares about.
