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."The solution so far has been very stable."
"I like the tool's workflows, which is user-friendly. It can integrate with different applications. I particularly like that users are delighted to access their applications without the hassle of entering their username and password each time. It truly enhances user-friendliness."
"It is dependent on the evolution of your user base. It depends on usage per user, so the more sign-ins there are, the more expensive it becomes, so it works best for smaller companies from a financial perspective."
"It made things a lot easier, especially with passwords."
"The product requires very little maintenance."
"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 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."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"It significantly reduces the workload for certification processes."
"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 access certification feature is valuable."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"SSO and MFA for improved end-user experience, and protection against password spray attacks, account password self-service."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
"The solution lacks an on-premises deployment model so it can't offer a hybrid solution. It would be ideal if clients had options that weren't just cloud-based."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"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."
"It can have more API integrations."
"We had some implementation issues."
"You can't hide the device when you're checking logs."
"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"The connectors should be improved."
