Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I think all the functions of the solution are vital and important because life cycle management is important for some companies. The Single Sign-On feature is fantastic for different customers and advanced server access is really good for access to the servers."
"Okta has more when it comes to the policy level. It has distinctive features where you can do a mix and combination to have users access applications for various business cases."
"The most valuable feature of this solution for most customers is access management."
"The most valuable feature of Okta Customer Identity is its SSO because it's very easy to use and it's user-friendly. Even the admin portal of the solution is very user-friendly, and you can walk through it with ease. Okta Customer Identity is not a complicated solution, and even the workflow automation feature is very, very easy to understand."
"As far as our security team is concerned, the ease of implementing multifactor authentication is definitely the biggest value for our organization."
"We can integrate two-factor authentication with the applications."
"The end user's ease of use is the most valuable feature."
"The solution has great multifactor authentication."
"Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless."
 

Cons

"The initial setup could be easier to do."
"All of the governance functionality and privileged account management could be improved."
"Users sometimes have difficulty getting verification codes."
"The integration process takes a bit longer than we would want it to."
"I would like to see the provisioning simplified."
"What I'd like to see improved in Okta Customer Identity is the process of exporting users. Currently, it lacks this feature, and you have to use a third-party tool to export users from the group. Exporting users should be very easy, though I did notice that Okta Customer Identity is being upgraded from time to time, and I've been seeing much improvement in it compared to the previous years."
"There is an access request system that is very limited access to the systems available for end-users. The access request should improve in Okta Customer Identity."
"This solution would be improved by adding biometrics features."
"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."
