"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."
"The most valuable feature is interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"It is very scalable because it provides a new environment for companies based on their number of users and other factors. The tool can take a lot of users."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the integration with external websites one-factor authentication."
"Okta integrates well with other solutions. Once you have integrated an application into Okta and onboarded a user, they will be onboarded for just-in-time provisioning."
"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 initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"When they introduced the Organizations feature they did support different login screens per organization. However, they introduced a dependency between this feature and another called the New Universal Login Experience. The New Experience is a more lightweight login screen, but it is much less customizable. For example, today, we are able to fully customize our login screen and even control the background image according to the time of day. We have code to do that. But we are not able to write code anymore in the New Experience."
"There is a possibility to improve the machine-to-machine authentication flow. This part of Auth0 is not really well documented, and we could really gain some additional knowledge on that."
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"We had some implementation issues."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
"The only aspect in which it can be improved is that the interface could be cleaner. I found this even when I was trying to do my certification exam because the certification is hands-on. You find yourself fumbling around a little bit to find simple things. This happens even when you start to get familiar with the product."
"In my country, there's a lot of stealing of mobile phones, and mobile phones are the authentication device through the Okta application. If someone should steal my mobile phone, which is very common in my country, he or she might have access to my company account. That's my concern."
"The solution lacks an on-premises deployment model so it can't offer a hybrid solution. It would be ideal if clients had options that weren't just cloud-based."
"It can have more API integrations."
