Find out in this report how the two Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."
"The product is easy to use."
"Other than Okta being an easy and awesome integration tool, one of the best features it has is the provisioning and deprovisioning, which makes management way easier. You don't need to be too technical to understand how it works."
"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."
"It is flexible and easy to install."
"Okta integrates well with other solutions. Once you have integrated an application into Okta and onboarded a user, they will be onboarded for just-in-time provisioning."
"The most valuable features depend on a customer's needs. Our customers generally find multi-factor authentication very useful."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."
"It's very easy to implement everything."
"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."
"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"Comprehensive ecosystem."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."
"On the admin side, we can create our own passwords instead of generating one, which is usually difficult to explain to a user."
"RESTful Web Service calls and their response seem a bit slow."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."
"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."
"In some setup cases, there are issues with attributes not going in properly."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."
"The high availability architecture has to be improved."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
