Overall Satisfaction with The Okta Identity Cloud

Used by a client for secure single sign on, the organisation has a single point of access for all applications. Using Okta not only improves security, but onboarding of users which allows less time for setup and more time focusing on the job at hand.
  • Single sign on - sign in once per day to access any app
  • Conditional access - block overseas access
  • Integrations to third party tools
  • Integrations with single sign on - however this does require third parties to work more with Oauth systems
  • Direct integrations with tools with plugins. Eg Wordpress websites, atlassian tools etc
  • Reduced onboarding time
  • Reduced user confusion with various passwords
  • Reduced time for users accessing various applications each day
Using Okta that is focusing only on authentication does allow slightly more experience and features over your standard bolt on features in Microsoft and Google G-Suite for example. Ie Okta specialises where other vendors often spread their focus across too many applications and features
Limited experience other than with sales. Self on boarded. Support was responsive during one issue we had with custom branding.
No impact to uptime, I don’t think we have ever noticed an issue whilst using!!

Do you think The Okta Identity Cloud delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with The Okta Identity Cloud's feature set?

Yes

Did The Okta Identity Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of The Okta Identity Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy The Okta Identity Cloud again?

Yes

I feel Okta is more advanced over the other providers who branch into too many facets
Organisations requiring more custom rules for access, specifically non Microsoft organisations. Having said this it can integrate with Microsoft as well.
Complex onboarding’s for various applications makes things much easier for IT admins as well, setting up users in one location as opposed to various applications. After all that’s what identify management is for!
