Pros
"The ease of deployment, ease of use, and speed of delivery is what I like about Okta Workforce Identity. It is very easy to use.

They've got a network of 7,000 applications that easily integrate into it.""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.""Okta Workforce Identity is easy to use and has a lot of components.""One of the most beneficial features of the solution is the user provisioning and the de-provisioning feature.""Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features.""First of all, the solution is very simple.""The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security.""The feature that is most valuable to me is the automated user provisioning that we set up using Okta as a major part of that process."

Cons
"Its pricing needs improvement.""The training is too costly.""Okta Workforce Identity could improve provisioning it can be made simpler.""It is challenging to obtain a comprehensive backup.""The solution is very expensive.""The product is expensive compared to other tools.""Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance.""It would be pricing, which is a tough one because it goes against Microsoft. A lot of companies say they're a Microsoft partner, and they get all their software for free. Okta is like a luxury product, and it's not the most affordable one. I would say if they could work on pricing, it would help. Other than that, they've done great strides in developing a product that is really good. The companies that do see the value tend to invest in it."

More Okta Workforce Identity Cons →

"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features.""The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive.""Multi-factor authentication requires a lot of processes and technicalities.""In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface.""The technical support is not very good at all.""The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly.""The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow.""In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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"
  • "License is around US$20,000 annually."
  • "I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
  • "It is costly for large companies."
  • "The price of this product could be lower."
  • "It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
