Authentication process improves security with quick and intuitive user interface
The best feature is the speed and execution of Okta Workforce Identity. The moment you click on single sign-on, you immediately get the notification on your mobile phone, then you do the authentication and within a second you get authenticated. The entire customer experience is very good. The user interface is pretty simple, straightforward, and really good. Multi-factor authentication in Okta Workforce Identity is very useful so people who do not have access or are trying to access using just a user ID and password will be completely blocked because of this two-factor authentication. You will get the code, and as your device is authorized in the system, only that device can be used for the authentication purpose. A third person trying to access or hack your data will not be able to do that anymore. Additionally, you don't have to remember your passwords going forward. Previously, every 60 days or 90 days, passwords kept changing. With the two-factor authentication or single sign-on option in Okta Workforce Identity, you don't have to remember it anymore or write down passwords in plain text. If something goes wrong, we have the IAM team which can unlock your account immediately if you have issues.

Good in terms of customization and security, offers flexible deployment, and easy to use
I like Transmit FlexID, which is more focused on user-based identity. 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. Transmit provides security and addresses sensitive administrative work on both technical ends. Their authentication suite helps us secure our infrastructure. Overall, I'd rate Transmit highly in security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product requires very little maintenance."
"Adaptive authentication in Okta Customer Identity is a flexible feature that is very secure and user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"We can integrate two-factor authentication with the applications."
"Other than Okta being an easy and awesome integration tool, one of the best features it has is the provisioning and deprovisioning, which makes management way easier. You don't need to be too technical to understand how it works."
"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

"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"We had some implementation issues."
"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"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."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"The stability could be better."
"The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."
"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."
"The price of Okta Workforce Identity is reasonable."
"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."
"It could be a bit too pricey for small companies. Okta Workforce Identity can add a lot of benefits, but smaller companies may not have a lot of applications that need to be managed by Okta Workforce Identity. In larger organizations, there are more departments, applications, and users to manage. Okta Workforce Identity adds a bit more value to those bigger organizations. In addition to standard licensing fees, there are also additional costs for things"
"The price of the solution is fair for what it offers."
"Okta Customer Identity is not an expensive solution."
"It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."
