"It's a very powerful platform. It has the ability to do the usual stuff, according to modern protocols, like OIDC and OAuth 2. But the real benefit of using the platform comes from its flexibility to enhance it with rules and, now, with what they call authentication pipelines. That is the most significant feature, as it allows you to customize everything regarding the authentication and authorization process."
"The most important thing for me is compliance. Everything that they have developed in Auth0 is already certified by many regulators such as ISO. So, we do not need to take care of that. We have the shared responsibility model to share assets with other products we are using in the cloud."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"It supports identity federation, FSO and multi-tenancy."
"The most valuable feature is interface application integration, but we haven't fully used it yet. We'll need it in the future for a few potential clients."
"The valuable features are that it is extremely secure and that it's developer-friendly."
"It has a lot of customization and out-of-the-box features."
"I simply use the JWT from the client on the server side to process requests and push updated profile data to a database/queue as needed and end the process without having to persist data in the web server (sessions)."
"It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful."
"It has a wide range of MFA options. I prefer "Okta Verify" out of them all."
"Okta Workforce Identity is easy to use and has a lot of components."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"It's reliable and it does what it is advertised to do."
"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"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."
"There is a possibility to improve the machine-to-machine authentication flow. This part of Auth0 is not really well documented, and we could really gain some additional knowledge on that."
"When they introduced the Organizations feature they did support different login screens per organization. However, they introduced a dependency between this feature and another called the New Universal Login Experience. The New Experience is a more lightweight login screen, but it is much less customizable. For example, today, we are able to fully customize our login screen and even control the background image according to the time of day. We have code to do that. But we are not able to write code anymore in the New Experience."
"There could be easy integration with IoT devices for the product."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"The product could use a more flexible administration structure"
"The Management API could be improved so it's easier to get user information."
"This is a costly solution and the price of it should be reduced."
"In the past, there was an issue with the multi-tenant where there wasn't the ability to manage them."
"SSO and MFA for improved end-user experience, and protection against password spray attacks, account password self-service."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"The training is too costly."
"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."
"The only area of concern in the solution stems from the fact that my company needs some help regarding the setup phase from a partner."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."
"The initial setup can be complex at first."
"The guest user access could be improved."
