Okta - SSO MFA and Authentication Management with one solution
Overall Satisfaction with Okta
Single Sign-On (SSO) - Employees were using weak passwords or writing them on sticky notes because they had too many to remember. This was a massive security hole. With SSO they don't have to remember multiple passwords.
Lifecycle management of Employee onboarding and offboarding and MFA based authentication. - From the time employee joins to the time he off boards, Okta provide all in support for software catalog and installations

Pros
- Single Sign on - One stop password management for all tools and interfaces
- Adaptive MFA - When a employee logs in from home vs office vs other location, we can identify his persona via MFA
- New Employee onboarding and catalog management
Cons
- Add on costs for every org
- Hard to implement for first time
- Integrations between different software products
- User productiovity increases as we dont have to juggle between different portals to download softwares
- Automated IT tasks for software catalog, installation requests., approval etc
- Security psoture is improved due to SSO and MFA
Yes we have as we have a hybrid deployment model - multi cloud and on prem DC based servers. so access is a pain to manage., With Okta , the team can manage access via Org SSO and we dont have to remember multiple passwords and manage security risks across employees, vendors and contractors.
A TAM acts as an extension of the customer's internal team. When a critical business initiative—like a rapid global expansion—hits a technical wall (e.g., complex API rate limits or specialized MFA requirements), the TAM provides a direct line to Okta’s product engineering

When authentication services are flaky, employees lose trust in their tools. A 99.99% uptime means that for a full year, the total allowed downtime is only about 52 minutes
