Leverage reliable server management for seamless identity operations

There is room for Okta Customer Identity to improve by increasing the reliability for the server end, creating more directories, and focusing on internal users rather than external or contract-based ones. Additionally, extending idle session times from ten milliseconds to at least forty-five seconds would be beneficial. It is also suggested that patches be applied annually rather than quarterly.

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 end user's ease of use is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature of this solution for most customers is access management."

"We can integrate two-factor authentication with the applications."

"There is no password hash saved on the cloud, which is the part that I like the most."

"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."

"As far as our security team is concerned, the ease of implementing multifactor authentication is definitely the biggest value for our organization."

"The most valuable features of Okta Customer Identity are there is no infrastructure cost, integrated, has plenty of documentation, and is user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of Okta Customer Identity is its SSO because it's very easy to use and it's user-friendly.

Okta Customer Identity is not a complicated solution, and even the workflow automation feature is very, very easy to understand."

More Okta Customer Identity pros

"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

"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."

"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."

"Some limitations in scalability. Each application we work with can be completely different, resulting in highly variable implementation processes."

"The initial setup could be easier to do."

"Okta has a limitation with directory integrations. If you have multiple Active Directory integrations, the user distinguished name (DN) and the manager DN don't get imported properly into the Okta user profile."

"The integration process takes a bit longer than we would want it to."

"In the future, we'd like to see the product implement more security features, like, for example, zero-trust."

"All of the governance functionality and privileged account management could be improved."

More Okta Customer Identity cons

"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing might be high, but it comes down when the number of people using the product goes up."

"The price of the solution is fair for what it offers."

"Okta Customer Identity is not an expensive solution."

"The solution is really expensive."

"Okta's pricing is right where it needs to be and right in the middle of the market."

"We pay 23 pence (approximately $0.30 USD) per user, annually, for 150,000 users."
