Sr. Cloud Security Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Centralized identity has streamlined zero trust access and automated user lifecycles
Okta Platform does what it promises that it does. It is certainly all cloud-based as a SaaS solution. For enterprises which really prefer to have their own identity within their own perimeter, Okta Platform might not be the solution they might look for. Of course, there are ways you can get your dedicated tenant, especially for governments and federal agencies and all of those things. I have not tried those use cases. I think Okta Platform is the best of the class and appears consistently at the top of the Gartner report and other research. Based on the use cases I had, I was fairly happy with it. The PAM capabilities and attribute-based access controls, ABAC, represent a new paradigm. How practical that is for enterprises to deploy largely depends upon the use cases. There is always room for improvement, and it is not just for Okta Platform but typically for every single customer identity provider. There are a lot of other things the biometric and FIDO and all of those which can certainly be improved. However, that is more of a technological constraint rather than the vendor itself.

Streamlined compliance process with custom control framework and AI-driven security questionnaire management
Vanta has made the security questionnaire process much easier, thanks to AI. It automatically extracts answers and populates them within the SIG. The custom control framework allows me to incorporate our HITRUST controls and additional ISO twenty-seven thousand and one and financial controls. Moreover, it includes a knowledge bank for questionnaires and RFPs, making information updates more streamlined.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."
"The end user's ease of use is the most valuable feature."
"The main benefits Okta Customer Identity provides to users include single point of login for all applications and single authentication, which saves time and reduces frustration."
"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."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."
"Okta Platform has positively impacted our organization by dramatically improving our security posture, enforcing Multi-factor Authentication across all applications, and increasing productivity by allowing employees to access all their tools with one set of credentials."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security."
"The most valuable feature of this solution for most customers is access management."
"It's the only current GRC vendor with licensing rights for HITRUST 11.3 framework, and I've avoided expensive HITRUST licensing costs through a custom control framework."
 

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."
"It would be great if there were a way to save even my social media passwords and other passwords through Okta Platform and single sign-on through Okta Platform in the future."
"Users sometimes have difficulty getting verification codes."
"The product is expensive compared to other tools."
"UD attribute mapping, Okta group rules, and dynamic usage could use improvement. It also needs more in-depth functionality and features to integrate with RADIUS solutions."
"The ability or the options in the solution for changing the look and feel are not good enough because in our partner portal, essentially what they have is an ugly admin interface."
"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."
"Okta Customer Identity analytics and reporting tools do not help much to improve customer engagement strategies."
"The support experience could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive compared to other vendors."
"Workforce Identity is well-priced."
"Okta has fairly competitive pricing."
"The price of the solution is good."
"The product has a user-based license model."
"The solution's pricing model could be better for SMBs."
"The cost per user for this solution is really high and could be reduced."
"Okta Customer Identity is not an expensive solution."
