We performed a comparison between Microsoft Intune and Okta Workforce Identity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, ManageEngine and others in Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)."There is a single pane of glass for user access and a single sign-on facility for the user. If you have already logged in to Microsoft Azure or on-premises, you can redirect directly to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, monitor all your security threats, and analyze the data associated with the application in a single, unified way."
"It is quite policy-enabled, so you can build pretty much any policy to manage remote endpoints."
"The mobile application management, MAM, is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"The policy and compliance monitoring of devices and the software deployment are most valuable."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"Users can make screenshots, and devices only need the minimal version of iOS."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"It supports end-users who tend to lock their devices quite frequently. Its conditional access policy helps us keep the users logged into their devices."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"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."
"It made things a lot easier, especially with passwords."
"Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"The solution so far has been very stable."
"Okta controls all the users. It has context-based access from the user and type of device. It identifies the risk and can do a step of authentication when that user is trying to access some sensitive application from an unknown device."
"The closest Microsoft Intune can be to GPOs, the better. There needs to be more granularity on application deployments. However, they have done better recently with the application deployments."
"Sometimes, updating a client policy is very difficult. This needs to be improved."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"The configuration and pricing can be improved."
"There should be more support for macOS. Even though macOS is supported by Intune and Microsoft is working very hard to get more features into Intune to manage macOS, that's one thing they can give a lot more attention to."
"Microsoft Intune lags market leaders, such as Apperian, in its MAM capabilities."
"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"The stability could be better."
"This user integration with the Okta integration network could be simplified."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"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."
"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."
"It can have more API integrations."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."
"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."
