"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"It is very scalable because it provides a new environment for companies based on their number of users and other factors. The tool can take a lot of users."
"It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the integration with external websites one-factor authentication."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"We find the solution to be reliable for our customers and it is nice that it is cloud-based and can be accessed from anywhere."
"One of the features that I have found to be very valuable is its interoperability and compatibility with all types of resources, whether it's networking, infrastructure, or applications. That is, it is compatible as well as interoperable, as far as the federated authentication is concerned."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"They have good push authentications."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"There is a possibility to improve the machine-to-machine authentication flow. This part of Auth0 is not really well documented, and we could really gain some additional knowledge on that."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"When they introduced the Organizations feature they did support different login screens per organization. However, they introduced a dependency between this feature and another called the New Universal Login Experience. The New Experience is a more lightweight login screen, but it is much less customizable. For example, today, we are able to fully customize our login screen and even control the background image according to the time of day. We have code to do that. But we are not able to write code anymore in the New Experience."
"The product support for multi-tenancy could be improved."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check then signature to validate the token."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"It's not compatible with on-premises installations, unless you host it as a SaaS. We were not able to do that. For example, imagine a scenario where the cloud is not available. Then, Okta will not work for you. That use case will readily fail because it doesn't have an on-premises installation that you can use to authenticate or provide identity and access management. If you have a purely on-premises solution that is not connected to the internet, then this will not work. This is one area that can be improved."
"The guest user access could be improved."
"The initial setup can be complex at first."
"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user."
"The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
