Overall Satisfaction with The Okta Identity Cloud

Okta Workforce Identity is used as [a] single authentication tool used to login across all platforms within our organization. It is integrated with other VPNs like Cisco AnyConnect and acts as [a] primary authentication layer tool. All of the company’s communication ( G Suite, Slack, Jostle, etc.) tools are running under same authentication layer of Okta.

Pros

  • Real time accurate push authentication notifications
  • Password recovery management
  • Accessibility on any platform

Cons

  • Approve authentication device dependency
  • A specific authentication can only be granted for maximum time frame of 24 hours. One had to re-authenticate an access session after 24 hours.
  • Improve security posture
  • Single point authentication for every app resulting in less security overhead for individual apps
  • Easy to integrate and setup, so saves a lot of time
There are no multiple authentication training guides [that] need to [be] circulated and maintained. Benefits user to remember/store multiple password and credentials. One can easily monitor timeouts and downtime.
Okta support was very good during initial migration and hand-holding on best ways to integrate with CRM tool.
This has immensely saved time especially with employees wherein they don’t have to individually authenticate multiple platforms. This has saved a lot of overhead like resources needed to maintain security of individual platforms.

Do you think Okta delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Okta's feature set?

Yes

Did Okta live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Okta go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Okta again?

Yes

It is an easy one layer authentication which can be accessed anywhere.
It is well suited for people who mostly have functional roles in the company like sales, marketing, csm, [and] product management as there are [a] lesser number of tools needed to be authenticated (like G Suite and chat apps like Slack) through Okta as compared to the number of authentications needed [for] various other cloud applications used [in] business.
