Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets.""They have good push authentications.""The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security.""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.""The initial setup is easy.""The most valuable features depend on a customer's needs. Our customers generally find multi-factor authentication very useful.""The solution so far has been very stable.""It's easy to use and straightforward."

"The most valuable feature is identity management.""Onboarding of new employees, consultants, and partners has rapidly increased. We reduced the time to onboard them and the ease of onboarding has been improved. Therefore, we recognize there has been efficiency which has been brought into our organization.""Federation and Identity let us create users and send federation tools, giving the authentication and authorization to users. With the on-premise solution, I can do the installation, configuration, and integration of Identity Access Management. This gives us direct access. The integration with the single solution E-business suite is also very valuable.""Identity Cloud has simplified our migrations. Since we're primarily working with native Oracle solutions, we can adopt many features of Oracle Identity Cloud Management.""The APIs are well documented, which has allowed us to access the IDCS security applications in our custom APIs.""The most valuable feature is the reduced maintenance burden for the client.""The most valuable features are the high stability and good performance."

Cons
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user.""We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved.""We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito.""Its pricing needs improvement.""They also have single sign-on (SSO). When we bought Okta Workforce Identity a year and a half ago, I was also looking at SSO, but not much documentation was available for SSO. The documentation for SSO should be a little more robust for somebody who is implementing it for the first time.""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.""RESTful Web Service calls and their response seem a bit slow.""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."

More Okta Workforce Identity Cons →

"The protocol could be easier to use.""The IDs that are not used for a particular number of days should be disabled automatically.""Oracle needs to improve the GUI and many other aspects of the cloud console. It isn't as slick as Azure, Google, or IWS cloud. The documentation could be better, too.""The initial setup was a little complex. At that time, the method of integration was a bit complicated due to the scripts that we were required to write for the integration.""We still see a lot of bugs in any of the versions that Oracle comes out with. So, there are a lot of bugs that need to be fixed.""The cost of this solution should be reduced.""Self Service features are still limited in IDCS, and there is a need for more customization of the self-service screens."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It could be a bit too pricey for small companies. Okta Workforce Identity can add a lot of benefits, but smaller companies may not have a lot of applications that need to be managed by Okta Workforce Identity. In larger organizations, there are more departments, applications, and users to manage. Okta Workforce Identity adds a bit more value to those bigger organizations. In addition to standard licensing fees, there are also additional costs for things"
  • "License is around US$20,000 annually."
  • "I believe it competes well. The pricing is pretty competitive. I know that Microsoft also provides something similar with its MFA and identity services."
  • "It is costly for large companies."
  • "The price of this product could be lower."
  • "It has a yearly subscription. As compared to its competitors, it is quite expensive. It also has a complex licensing model."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "This solution is costly. Pricing is decent if you have less users, but it significantly goes up the more users you have, with its cost not justified."

  • "The foundation tier that is offered with other cloud services subscriptions is fairly extensive and supports the use of identities, groups, and privileges in those cloud services."
  • "Our licensing costs are on a yearly basis."
