We performed a comparison between Auth0, Okta Workforce Identity, and Symantec Siteminder based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Auth0, Okta and others in Access Management."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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the product is scalability."
"It is easily connected and easy to put our app in single sign-on."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to integrate, irrespective of your codebase."
"It has improved our organization by providing login authentication for a mobile app."
"It is very scalable because it provides a new environment for companies based on their number of users and other factors. The tool can take a lot of users."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."
"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."
"Valuable features include UD, SSO functionality, MFA and Adaptive MFA functionality, ability to link multiple Directory databases with UD."
"One of the most beneficial features of the solution is the user provisioning and the de-provisioning feature."
"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with the Active Directory."
"It has considerably reduced the amount of time that new users would take to join into the organization. Previously, it was a lengthy, manual process because it's a very secure environment, where they need to verify the user before they can actually grant him a user-ID and password. Integrating with the built-in custom application, and exposing CA Single Sign On to the internet, we were able to get the employees onboard. The time that we gained was: previously it would generally take from four to eight weeks for each employee, we brought it to one to two days."
"As our identity model continues to mature, probably the Federation is most valueable."
"It has the ability to authenticate and authorize users. It is the main feature for our security."
"I liked the debugging part. There are only two files (trace file and log file) that you need to look into while performing debugging, and the logs give you the exact info on where and what needs to be fixed."
"Symantec Siteminder Is both scalable and stable."
"SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account."
"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"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."
"There are indeed areas where the product could improve. For instance, Okta offers various application configurations, enabling access management, which the tool could consider implementing."
"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."
"The price modelling is a bit confusing on the site and can be costly."
"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."
"I think they can do a better job in explaining what you're supposed to do next in order to correctly follow an idiomatic approach to using the solution beyond simply passing a JWT token to a server and having the server check then signature to validate the token."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."
"The ability or the options in the solution for changing the look and feel are not good enough because in our partner portal, essentially what they have is an ugly admin interface."
"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."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"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 pricing could be improved."
"This user integration with the Okta integration network could be simplified."
"The support could be faster."
"We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."
"All the problems that we reported actually have never been resolved. We could not capture enough information for CA to be able to debug the problem."
"The tech support has not been very good for us so we don't use them anymore. We have had some issues. Nobody is perfect."
"We're currently unable to find information about if the solution can do a full implementation with SQL. Some better and more accessible documentation for new users or those curious about the product would be helpful."
"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
"The technical support could be better."
