We performed a comparison between LastPass and Okta Workforce Identity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Reduction in number of sensitive passwords stored insecurely on local systems."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"It's improved security; we don't have to worry about people storing password loosely and secure them."
"One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes."
"Off-boarding of people is easy without changing shared account passwords."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."
"This product helps keep us secure."
"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. For a lot of software, you need to be trained extensively and have a very technical background. Okta Workforce Identity is quite simple. You can integrate any software into Okta. They've got a network of 7,000 applications that easily integrate into it."
"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."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"What I found most valuable in Okta Workforce Identity is that it worked together with VMware Workspace One, so there was this device check at the same time. My company used the trusted device method that enabled you to define that only the trusted devices including the Workspace One agent were able to access the applications directly without an additional authentication step."
"It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"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."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"One thing I wish LastPass had is an integration with Active Directory, not for synchronizing users but to actually manage, in some way, privileged accounts by replacing the password of LastPass itself."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"I also don't like the add-in for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, because when you do the add-in, you can actually save that to your credentials in your IE, and the problem is, if I left my screen open, or any of the IT people leave their screen open someone could come up and access all their credentials in LastPass without having to put a password in within your own network. I don't like that functionality. We've banned that from any of our staff adding that as an add-in because we see that as a security risk."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"It can have more API integrations."
"You can't hide the device when you're checking logs."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"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."
"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."
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user."
"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."
