Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is the best solution to have the employees securely connect to the company network apps and websites by providing a secure single sign-on option. Once logged into the system on the company network, it identifies you, and all the apps and websites within the company that requires a log-in will give you automatic access(as per permission) by single sign-on. So no more typing the id password again and again for each of them.

Pros and Cons

Single sign on over multiple applications and websites of the company.
Multi-factor authentication is being provided for better security.
Interface is very user friendly.

Not faced any issues.

Return on Investment

Automated IT tasks of changing passwords
Increased user productivity
Improved security posture

Independent Platform

We have various applications throughout the company and Okta made it easy for us to grant permissions to users in one go instead of granting permissions from individual applications to provide login access. It reduced the turnaround time significantly and also reduced the service desk burden by granting users the possibility to change their passwords.

Customer First Team

The Customer first team provided us with exceptional support throughout the establishment of Okta company-wide. The knowledge transfer was very good and the training made it easier for users to understand it in one go.

Reliability

This reliability of all-time availability is the key component of considering it for company-wide use.

Alternatives Considered

OneLogin by One Identity

Okta's Threat Insight adds an extra layer of security which gives it an edge over its competitor and is an early entrant in this market. It has a well-established track record which makes it much more reliable.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited where user gets the access to change their own password and once changed, it will be changed throughout the company-wide applications under their Okta permissions and they don't have to call the service desk and wait for them to change it. It is very easy for adding various applications to add into the dashboard for users to access under one roof.
