We performed a comparison between Okta Workforce Identity and One Identity Active Roles 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."Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"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."
"We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems."
"The solution can scale very well."
"The provisioning and deprovisioning saves a lot of time and skips a lot of errors."
"It provides automatic provisioning/update/deprovisioning workflows from a source system to a target system."
"Another good feature is the change history. It's centralized in a single place and allows us to manage people's Active Directory domains from a central location. We can also drill down into individual objects in a troubleshooting or even an auditing situation. We can show evidence to auditors by drilling down into the individual history. It gives you all the history of what happened around an individual object. That is something that would be almost impossible to do in Active Directory, or extremely complicated."
"It gives us attribute-level control and the AD management features work very well."
"Active Roles improved the management of users, groups, and AD objects in the organization."
"With the use of the sync service we were able to import information from multiple external systems and populate them within our space and leverage them for downstream systems."
"Having a tool to manage all changes to AD from a single pane of glass is awesome."
"Because of Active Roles, we're able to synchronize on an even more regular basis. It enables us to provide even more information to the Active Directory, which helped us to group our users in a more consistent manner."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"In some setup cases, there are issues with attributes not going in properly."
"We've not had any problems with Okta."
"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."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
"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."
"We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"It also has workflows and those are really powerful, but there are no built-in workflows. When it comes to them, it's empty. I would personally love for it to come with ten, 15, or 20 workflows where each achieves a certain task... I could just look at how each is done, clone them, copy them, modify them the way I want them, and be good to go. Right now we have to invent things from scratch."
"The solution needs an attestation process that includes certification and recertification attestation."
"The initial setup was quite easy, but it was time-consuming. It took about three months."
"In terms of improvement, it could be made even more user-friendly for administrators when they need to create new workflows and rule sets."
"The user and group management in Azure AD could be better. Our focus these days is dynamic sharing with several on-prem Microsoft applications like SharePoint."
"The way you can search groups could be better."
"For ActiveRoles, it would be good if the product supports multi-scripting language. You can use only VBScript."
"For the AAD management feature, it needs to improve the objects that we can manage and the security."
