"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"The tool helps improve our security and productivity."
"It is a very scalable solution."

"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"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."
"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."
"The ease of deployment, ease of use, and speed of delivery is what I like about Okta Workforce Identity. It is very easy to use. For a lot of software, you need to be trained extensively and have a very technical background. Okta Workforce Identity is quite simple. You can integrate any software into Okta. They've got a network of 7,000 applications that easily integrate into it."
"SD-WAN is one of the primary solutions offered by Perimeter 81."
"Even after restarting, it tries to quickly reestablish connection which is very helpful."
"Distributing the agent was very simple, allowing us to enforce security posture on our devices (i.e. S1, Disk-encryption, etc.)."
"The benefits are really built into the underlying protocol, however, Perimeter81 makes these available in a user-friendly way."
"The setup is really easy...I rate the support team a ten out of ten."
"Scaling Perimeter 81 was easy to do."
"Perimeter 81 has increased my security and privacy while maintaining solid internet performance."
"It keeps us all accountable and ensures secure internet connections while we all work remotely."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
"We had some implementation issues."
"I would appreciate it if Okta Workforce Identity becomes more user-friendly. Its API technology is complicated. Certain applications may pose challenges in terms of integration, especially when they require IDP technologies that aren't easily codable. While I can't provide specific examples, some applications may not integrate with Okta Workforce Identity."
"The stability could be better."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"The error logging could be improved. Okta doesn't provide enough details when you are troubleshooting an issue. It's often difficult to fix it from our end, so we always need additional support from Okta."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"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."
"I'd love to learn more about all of the features. Maybe a monthly spotlight of features or having a banner that explains more ways certain features could be used would be helpful."
"In the future, maybe P81 can improve the network traffic balancing and redundancy."
"In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality."
"What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit."
"Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential."
"I would suggest adding more networking and security features that allow more customization within their platform."
"There are a few areas where the solution could be improved. For instance, we sometimes encounter connectivity issues, which can be problematic. Recently, I experienced a connectivity issue while trying to move to Azure. Connectivity issues can be quite frustrating."
"The solution's speed of upload and download is an area where it lacks"
