Featured Reviews

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.

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

"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"Its integration components are most valuable. It integrates with everything in some way. There are some products, such as O365 or AD, with which it completely and 100% integrates. So, you can seamlessly create accounts across the board with some of these products. For some of the products with which it doesn't completely integrate, you can do some kind of interfacing."
"The most valuable features depend on a customer's needs. Our customers generally find multi-factor authentication very useful."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"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

"You can't hide the device when you're checking logs."
"Whenever I write Cypress test cases, we encounter problems with logging in through Okta."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"Okta could improve by making their learning materials more user-friendly."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"There is no proper documentation on integrating test cases with Okta, and this issue is troubling whenever I try to implement it."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"The support experience could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
"The licensing is per user per month and includes full technical support."
"This is an expensive solution but the security makes it worthwhile."
"The solution’s pricing needs to be reasonable. You are dealing with a lot of components and the pricing is component-based."
"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 cost per user for this solution is really high and could be reduced."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the solution is good."
