Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Okta, Google and others in Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS)."The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security."
"First of all, the solution is very simple."
"I am able to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows."
"One of the most beneficial features of the solution is the user provisioning and the de-provisioning feature."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature in Okta Workforce Identity is the single sign-on, universal directory, and lifecycle management."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity. Everything is through a single click. We get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."
"It's a highly functional system and a very well rounded solution. The onboarding of applications is solid. Their user access reviews are very good. Their role-based model and their identity life cycle stuff are solid. It's a very well rounded, strong product."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"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."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
"In some setup cases, there are issues with attributes not going in properly."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."
"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."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve provisioning it can be made simpler."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."
"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."
