AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that Okta excels in its "Single Sign-on" feature, achieving a score of 9.6, which reviewers mention significantly enhances user experience by simplifying access to multiple applications with one set of credentials. In contrast, Google Cloud Identity also offers SSO but with a slightly lower score of 9.5, indicating a marginally less favorable user experience.
  • Reviewers mention that Okta's "Multi-Factor Authentication" feature is robust, scoring 9.4, and is praised for its seamless integration and user-friendly setup. Google Cloud Identity matches this score but users report that its implementation can be less intuitive, which may lead to a steeper learning curve for new users.
  • Users on G2 highlight Okta's "Smart/Automated Provisioning" feature, scoring 9.6, as a standout capability that streamlines user onboarding and offboarding processes. In comparison, Google Cloud Identity's provisioning features, while effective, received a lower score of 9.2, suggesting that users may find Okta's solution more efficient in managing user lifecycles.
  • Reviewers say that Okta's "Access Termination" feature scores an impressive 9.5, which users appreciate for its effectiveness in ensuring security by promptly revoking access when needed. Google Cloud Identity also performs well in this area with a score of 9.3, but some users feel that Okta provides a more comprehensive approach to access management.
  • G2 users report that Okta's "Self Service Password Reset" feature, scoring 9.4, is highly valued for reducing IT support workload and empowering users. Google Cloud Identity offers a similar feature but with a slightly lower score of 9.2, indicating that users may find Okta's implementation more effective in practice.
  • Users say that Okta's "API/Integrations" feature, with a score of 9.4, is particularly strong, allowing for seamless connectivity with various applications. In contrast, Google Cloud Identity, while also offering good integration capabilities, received a score of 9.1, suggesting that users may encounter more limitations when trying to connect with third-party services.
