Quotes From Members

Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Enables IT department to force very complex passwords for certain users.""It keeps my passwords organized and safe.""Can create folders for specific types of information (i.e., work, personal, and school).""The generator of complex passwords keeps me safe from being hacked.""I can access my passwords from any Internet connected device.""Keeper was user-friendly.""Password sharing and SSO. These features almost become a necessity to make sure that company data is safe and reduce the possibility of data breach.""Keeper has strong security features."

More Keeper Pros →

"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility.""It offers very helpful support. The technical team is very helpful.""One of the most beneficial features of the solution is the user provisioning and the de-provisioning feature.""We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems.""I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful.""The product requires very little maintenance.""A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable.""Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes."

More Okta Workforce Identity Pros →

"Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment.""In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc.""The VPN we are using is good and working quite well.""The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity.""The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance.""It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward.""The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model.""It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft."

Cons
"Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault.""Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections.""Rearranging folders via drag/drop functionality would be very helpful.""The technical support for this solution could be faster support and improved if they had a better understanding of my questions.""The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside.""Maybe a sort of category organizer to help with organizing passwords for different things, such as banking, medical, shopping, and school.""I would love it if you didn't have to re-authenticate when you start up a new browser.""Search functions are sometimes weird."

More Keeper Cons →

"The only aspect in which it can be improved is that the interface could be cleaner. I found this even when I was trying to do my certification exam because the certification is hands-on. You find yourself fumbling around a little bit to find simple things. This happens even when you start to get familiar with the product.""Support could be a bit faster.""A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up.""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.""They also have single sign-on (SSO). When we bought Okta Workforce Identity a year and a half ago, I was also looking at SSO, but not much documentation was available for SSO. The documentation for SSO should be a little more robust for somebody who is implementing it for the first time.""They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features.""The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved.""It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."

More Okta Workforce Identity Cons →

"I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial.""In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.""If they had dashboards or a report for managers or executives, then it would allow them to see the status and have it make sense to them.""It is challenging to use when installing a new version.""It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor.""Geofencing needs improvement.""Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users."
