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."Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes."
"This product helps keep us secure."
"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"The stability has been rock solid. A couple of years ago, they were breached. However, if you had two-factor authentication enabled, it didn't affect you. We did, so it has been good."
"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"The solution so far has been very stable."
"Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"Its integration components are most valuable. It integrates with everything in some way. There are some products, such as O365 or AD, with which it completely and 100% integrates. So, you can seamlessly create accounts across the board with some of these products. For some of the products with which it doesn't completely integrate, you can do some kind of interfacing."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"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's easy to use and straightforward."
"Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"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 struggle a little bit with the mobile app. As a browser extension, it works really well, and we are able to get to what we need to. However, on the phone, it's not quite as easy to navigate."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
"The product is expensive compared to other tools."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
