Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is very convenient and stable because you don't have to worry about attacks to public IPs or public networks."
"The capability of Akamai Enterprise Application Access is what you're looking for, it's giving you the service that you're looking for. It's simple and doesn't use an agent. It uses LCSD responders, and they have a lot of services around the globe. That's the reason that we were very interested in using it because it has a lot of coverage. This is because it's under the GDS umbrella."
"Application Access's most valuable feature is the accessibility of enterprise tech protection."
"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."
"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 most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"Okta controls all the users. It has context-based access from the user and type of device. It identifies the risk and can do a step of authentication when that user is trying to access some sensitive application from an unknown device."
"Workforce Identity's best features include its user-friendliness and easy setup."
"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."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"The technical enablement sessions are quite limited, and Akamai could help by providing more of them."
"The solution has two agents so should combine its enterprise application and security access into one agent."
"We need another approach to bring the solution to the cloud. In addition to Access Management, we would like to see if we can jump into Directories. I think ADs are going to go away and everything is going to be cloud-based and minimize the use of ADs because of the cost and some other dependencies to the cloud. Every time you buy AD it is more hardware, and everything's changing to software. The network's changing, the applications are changing, and for IT it is hard to keep up with it."
"The pricing could be improved."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."
"The initial setup can be complex at first."
