We performed a comparison between Okta Workforce Identity and SailPoint Identity Security Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Workforce Identity offers a comprehensive access management solution with multi-factor authentication, total control, and features like app access management, identity governance, and administration tools such as certification and access request management. These are typically found in identity management solutions, but Okta integrates them seamlessly into its user interface."
"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 product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"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."
"It has a wide range of MFA options. I prefer "Okta Verify" out of them all."
"The tool helps improve our security and productivity."
"It's reliable and it does what it is advertised to do."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"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."
"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"SSO and MFA for improved end-user experience, and protection against password spray attacks, account password self-service."
"You can't hide the device when you're checking logs."
"UD attribute mapping, Okta group rules, and dynamic usage could use improvement. It also needs more in-depth functionality and features to integrate with RADIUS solutions."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
