Find out in this report how the two Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has a wide range of MFA options. I prefer "Okta Verify" out of them all."
"The solution so far has been very stable."
"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"We can automate the process of adding users to Okta if they are activated in Active Directory, or if they are added to the database of applications or Active Directory in the last couple of days."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"The MFA part is the best. MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication. Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text. These options provide different ways of logging in for users, and they were a lot more than what we needed. This is certainly a very good feature of Okta Workforce Identity."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"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."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."
"It's not compatible with on-premises installations, unless you host it as a SaaS. We were not able to do that. For example, imagine a scenario where the cloud is not available. Then, Okta will not work for you. That use case will readily fail because it doesn't have an on-premises installation that you can use to authenticate or provide identity and access management. If you have a purely on-premises solution that is not connected to the internet, then this will not work. This is one area that can be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution’s policies are difficult to understand due to the policy methods. They use authentication. The solution’s workflow is also difficult and not very active. They need to have proper documentation on it. In the next release, I would like to see the workflows being more digestible."
"We've not had any problems with Okta."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
