Pros

Designed with zero trust at its core, this identity enterprise scales effortlessly to secure all our interactions.

Cons

Advanced security measures like RBA and MFA saves the day. I find the biggest reason for switching to Okta.

Pros

Their Identity Governance's product's features are easy to use and easy to configure. It took us only a short time to get everything setup, and we were able to do so by ourselves, mostly.

Cons

The product teams initially told us certain features would be ready within 6 months after our purchase. However, they could not live up to that promise and after using their product on ID Governance for 12 months, we gave up because critical features were not ready.

Pros

The best SSO tool out there. Using anything else seems counterintuitive

Cons

TBH I cannot list any flaws with Okta, other than you need to be a security expert to fully leverage it

Cons

Cost is a factor when implementing this product.

Pros

At my company we use it for our SSO, being a conglomerate and having subsidiaries and related account ID's, Okta makes my life easier when it comes to logging in managing my access.

Cons

Possibly cost is the only factor that I can think of, I do not face any other chalenges.

Pros

Okta has a very good security system like an in-built 2 factor authentication, also it has many tools which can be accessed using a single login, our organization has our own tool which we ll need to login and verify using Okta so that we have access to it so overall its a very good product with various ways to authenticate ourselves.

Cons

Sometimes the mobile app is not responsive, I think there is a need to improve that when we login through notifications the app will not sync or detect this particular login so we have to switch over to manually typing the code which shows on the app.

Pros

Okta is easy to use and a home for all our applications and has great security

Cons

I do have to sign in and out quite often which is the only annoying thing

Pros

I like Okta for its effective credential sign in system which is fool proof. I also like the frequest patch updates.

Cons

Pros

Okta has been a game-changer for me, and here's why. First off, the "Multiple Authentication Methods" feature is a lifesaver. I can choose how I want to prove I'm me—whether it's a traditional password, a quick PIN, or even my fingerprint. It's like having a personalized security menu, and it makes me feel in control of my account's safety.

The convenience doesn't stop there. Okta's single sign-on (SSO) is a time-saver. I log in once, and it's like having a magic key that opens all my authorized doors. No more juggling a bunch of different passwords.

Plus, the security is top-notch. The platform is proactive with its threat detection, and with the "Multiple Authentication Methods," I feel confident that my accounts are locked down tight. Okta has definitely made my online life easier and more secure.

Cons

While Okta has a lot of perks, there are a couple of things that bug me a bit. Firstly, the learning curve was a tad steep for me. Figuring out all the features and settings took some time, and I felt a bit overwhelmed initially.

Another thing is that the platform can get a bit pricey, especially if you need all the advanced features. For smaller budgets, this might be a concern.

Also, sometimes the push notifications for authentication can be a bit too frequent, making me feel like I'm confirming my identity more often than necessary. It's a minor annoyance but worth mentioning.

Despite these quirks, Okta's security features and convenience still make it a solid choice for me.

Pros

That every tool/website that I need access to is downloaded, and can search for anything that I would need access to, can also add outside websites to this tool. Even super helpful when we have other departments that need access to other tools, it is set up for that department so they wouldn't have access to tools they shouldn't.

Big bonus is when an individual leaves the company we have one shut down vs multiple spots to shut down.

Cons

I do not have any cons about Okta, for my use I find it extremely helpful.

Configuration of Okta to suit any unique requirements can take some time and may require some customization. The pricing can also be slightly higher compared to some other offerings, but for the overall features and ecellent support, it's worth the price that is paid.

Pros

The first feature that I liked is the way in which Okta records any login attempt, this helps a lot since it is capable of detecting when unwanted people are trying to enter our system, this way we can be attentive to any suspicious login. Okta also throws in two-step verification codes, which are essential to maintaining security at every login. Okta allows me to generate one-time codes to log in so I don't use my default to access an account. Auth0 allows me to manage users, which helps me add or remove users whenever I want. Auth0 sends me notifications every time a user is going to access an account I receive those notifications on my mobile device and I like that because it keeps me informed of everything.

More importantly, real-time threat insight from Okta has been helpful with strong remediation action against the same to help prevent those risks in the future.

Cons

While Okta is very powerful, the setup-especially for organizations that must keep to certain regulations-could be a little overwhelming. The learning curve was quite great, especially when trying to conduct some customization of roles and permissions. However, detailed documentation and help resources allowed us to fill in these items effectively.

Only real challenge is how often we are prompted to change our password. It can take some creativity to come up with new and unused passwords every couple months. (Although I fully understand and respect the frequent password changes as that is part of good security practices.)
