Cons
"I must do two-factor authentication when I sign in from a different location. It creates friction. It's not personalized for the end user. I would like to see specific insights."

More Microsoft Entra Verified ID Cons →

"In the future, we'd like to see the product implement more security features, like, for example, zero-trust.""The product must be provided for free.""This solution would be improved by adding biometrics features.""I would like to see the provisioning simplified.""What I'd like to see improved in Okta Customer Identity is the process of exporting users. Currently, it lacks this feature, and you have to use a third-party tool to export users from the group. Exporting users should be very easy, though I did notice that Okta Customer Identity is being upgraded from time to time, and I've been seeing much improvement in it compared to the previous years.""Some limitations in scalability. Each application we work with can be completely different, resulting in highly variable implementation processes.""The initial setup could be easier to do.""All of the governance functionality and privileged account management could be improved."

    Overview

    We believe the future of global identity will not be centralized in a single company or government, but rather a trust fabric of centralized and decentralized approaches. Open standards like those found in Entra Verified ID, will be required to ensure interoperability. We will leverage Microsoft’s existing penetration into F500 and governments to bootstrap and then extend from our 500M user footprint to 9B+. By leading the way, we can become the preferred provider that builds on Microsoft Entra ID's best-in-class security and compliance to now include best-in-class verifiability and privacy.

    Okta Customer Identity is an identity service that enables frictionless experience, speed-to-market, centralized management, and internet-scale security. Okta Customer Identity is developer friendly and secure with minimal custom code.
