We performed a comparison between Akamai Enterprise Application Access and Okta Workforce Identity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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."
"The solution is very convenient and stable because you don't have to worry about attacks to public IPs or public networks."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Okta Workforce Identity is easy to use and has a lot of components."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"The MFA part is the best. MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication. Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text. These options provide different ways of logging in for users, and they were a lot more than what we needed. This is certainly a very good feature of Okta Workforce Identity."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"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 solution has two agents so should combine its enterprise application and security access into one agent."
"The technical enablement sessions are quite limited, and Akamai could help by providing more of them."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Okta doesn't have a partial push. It pushes down the full profile schema for lifecycle management or provisioning."
"The product is expensive compared to other tools."
"The training is too costly."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"In some setup cases, there are issues with attributes not going in properly."
"We had some implementation issues."
