Okta has its own Active Directory, which is the main core of your identity and from Okta, you can easily reply to other services, like Google Workspace. You can synchronize everything.

The biggest benefit my company gained from Okta Workforce Identity is that everything just works securely so that all your managed devices can access all your applications without any hassle because they are trusted devices, but if you want to use your father's or mother's PC to access the company application, then it will ask more MFA (multifactor authentication) steps.

In my organization, people thank me for integrating the product. Integrating applications with the solution makes it simple to access various applications. You can easily navigate through a list of 50 applications, click the one you need, and log in.

We did not have a unified mechanism for accessing resources or a secure way of accessing resources, and Okta solved that problem for us.

Okta Workforce Identity has helped improve our organization by providing customer identity management, customer onboarding, customer identity stores, workforce provisioning. Additionally, single sign-on is one of the primary functions that has been a benefit.

• Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes. 
• Reduced costs associated with paying for AD accounts for customers who use corporate applications (currently 4000+ customer IDs exist within the AD forest – these require a license at a substantial cost to the organization). 
• Increased productivity through centralization of IAM Authentication - Authorization operations to a single tool (ISIM), and better operational resiliency with distributed administration (Common tasks can now be handled by a more diverse set of individuals across the organization.

Okta Workforce Identity has helped our organization by allowing us to work remotely in a secure environment.

This solution brought us the SSO perspective, and this is the main reason we're using it.

It assures us that everybody is authenticated prior to accessing any corporate applications.

Our clients are happy because prior to implementation, they had a very distributed architecture. Okta has allowed them to consolidate with respect to identity management, which increases their operational efficiency.

This product has the features that every customer is looking for.

The solution has improved our employee onboarding process. The tool has two layers. If something is compromised, there is another layer of protection for our enterprise application.

Okta enables us to authenticate my users on cloud and SaaS applications such as Workday through Okta workflows.

We are able to deploy solutions rapidly and also have a better idea on licensing as we can easily see who has access, who has been accessing and also who is not using an app.

The solution helps speed up and simplify the onboarding process for new hires.

• Central administration of Apps
• Auto activation of user accounts/ Just-In Time Provisioning
• Global App availability
• Less or No Administration required

Okta improved both organizations where I've worked with it: 

• Better Single Sign-On (reducing the number of passwords)
• Improved accountability (to know what users were doing, and where they were working on Identity and authentication services)
• Authentication (where Okta's own MFA solutions or work in combination with Duo were very useful for strengthening the security of major systems)

Okta is a very compliant solution, and it is easy to deploy.

We've integrated our HRIS system with our Active Directory/Office 365 using Okta. We're able to shift away from Active Directory as a master and allows us to be more mobile with our remote employees. Account creation and disabling people on time has made our team more productive.

Our organization has a fairly high turnover rate so having an automated process for provisioning and de-provisioning of accounts saves a lot of time from an administration perspective.

Our repository of data and our work are all based on Microsoft Teams now since we are a global organization with people spread literally across the globe. Employees have access to these documents all over the world, so the company needs to have a high level of security and privacy to access these documents. Okta is an important tool for controlling this access.

It makes it very easy to onboard and offboard accounts. When someone quits, one of the hardest things for an admin to do nowadays is figuring out the 37 accounts that this person had and getting rid of all of them. With Okta, it is not that difficult. You can eliminate a lot of that admin time in one shot, which is important on the security aspect of things. If you miss one or two accounts, they can backdoor you.

O365 integration, moving away from straight LDAP integrations for applications that reside in the cloud to true SAML functionality. Provides better security posture by using SAML and MFA.

It made things a lot easier, especially with passwords. You have one password that you have to remember, not a thousand for each application that you use for work.

All our logins work seamlessly without having to log in multiple times. With multiple applications, you tend to forget your credentials for some of the applications. Some applications have different password policies. With Okta, all of these is centralized. You only need one password, one setup, one policy and one login.

Integrating more than 300 applications is quite tough. With the help of Okta and its outstanding user friendly UI, things went fairly easily.
