"It's easy to use and straightforward."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"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."
"Valuable features include UD, SSO functionality, MFA and Adaptive MFA functionality, ability to link multiple Directory databases with UD."
"I like the tool's workflows, which is user-friendly. It can integrate with different applications. I particularly like that users are delighted to access their applications without the hassle of entering their username and password each time. It truly enhances user-friendliness."
"A solution that's easy to use, stable, and reliable."
"It has a wide range of MFA options. I prefer "Okta Verify" out of them all."
"The solution should have better integration."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"The product must be more user-friendly."
"The support can be more efficient. Google has different layers of support, like layer one, layer two, and layer three, but normally, the response from layer one is not very useful."
"Google is not well supported in France."
"Google Cloud Platform Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy has certain limitations as a document or file management system, especially for non-workspace accounts. Manual management is required for most actions, and group management can be challenging. The process of managing permissions individually is time-consuming and not very efficient. For education purposes, the collaboration tools for working on files, assignments, and groups need improvement. The existing tools are inadequate and can be difficult to work with. Additionally, the grading books for teachers are not very useful and require improvement."
"The setup could be more user-friendly."
"The UI of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"This user integration with the Okta integration network could be simplified."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
"It's not compatible with on-premises installations, unless you host it as a SaaS. We were not able to do that. For example, imagine a scenario where the cloud is not available. Then, Okta will not work for you. That use case will readily fail because it doesn't have an on-premises installation that you can use to authenticate or provide identity and access management. If you have a purely on-premises solution that is not connected to the internet, then this will not work. This is one area that can be improved."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
"The solution can be quite expensive."
