What do you like best about Okta?

It keeps everyting in one place, support is helpful when ever I have needed them. I use Okta many times throught the day because that is where my company info recides. I do like the features it offers. When it comes to the phone app as well as the desktop version. The ease of implementation was very good and when my company put it all together for us we like it. All and all we like it, it makes it very easy to find all our apps in one place and access all at one time throughout the day. Instead of looking and logign in to a differ app on the side every time (We have 7 app we log into every day at work) keeping it all in one place and secure makes a huge difference!

What do you like best about Okta?

Having used Okta in an enterprise environment for over a year, I can confidently say it's one of the best tools out there for identity and access management. It has transformed the way our company handles user authentication, security, and application access.

My personal favorite is how Single Sign-On (SSO) just works consistently and seamlessly across all our cloud applications. I sign in once and have secure access to all that I need to perform my job without having to remember numerous passwords or go through repetitive sign-on rituals.

Multifactor authentication (MFA) is extremely helpful and easy to use. It adds a crucial extra layer of security, especially for remote access, and is suitable for both desktop environments and mobile devices. That the access can also be controlled by user role and group also offers our IT staff excellent control without complicating the user experience.

Security, scalability, and ease of use are the biggest benefits. Okta has allowed us to put strict access controls in place without hindering productivity. It also simplifies onboarding and offboarding — new employees have instant access to the software they need, and we can simply cut off access for departing employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Okta?

The admin interface can be a bit overwhelming and cluttered. While feature-rich, it's not always immediately obvious, especially when dealing with complex configurations or custom app integrations. Furthermore, the initial configuration required more guidance and documentation than expected.

Some things that should be a standard feature, like certain reporting functionality or more robust provisioning workflows, are locked behind higher-tier plans. This limits what smaller teams or organizations can achieve without additional cost.

The pricing scheme can get expensive quite fast, especially if you need more features or integrations. Furthermore, occasional sync issues with third-party applications can cause delays or access errors that must be fixed by hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Okta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Okta is solving the problem of decentralized access to numerous systems. It provides secure, convenient centralized identity management. This eliminates the IT hassle, enhances cybersecurity, and saves employees' time by avoiding login issues or forgotten passwords.

It helps us secure access, enforce security policies, and ensure industry compliance. Okta also reduces the risk of data breaches caused by stolen or reused passwords. On the business end, it boosts productivity, simplifies audits, and provides peace of mind for us knowing that our systems are protected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Okta solves the problem of needing to remember tons of different usernames and passwords for all the apps and websites you use, which is not only annoying but also risky if one password gets stolen.

What do you like best about Okta?

What I like about Okta is that it's really simple and reliable. It really dumbs down signing into multiple platforms through a single sign on, it helps save time and lessens password fatigue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Okta?

One thing I don't like it how pushy they are about opening a personal account. and the issue I had once I did sign up for a personal account was that at times OKTA couldn't differentiate between business account and my personal account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Okta solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making it more secure for all our employees signing in needs in the organization while on company computers and company phones. The OKTA personal is a nice feature but still a little excessive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
