Okta integrates with almost every app out there, and it's cloud-based! The library is forever growing.
There is nothing to dislike about Okta. My challenge was that there was a little bit of a learning curb transitioning from MS products.
Okta WI ticks off a lot of the boxes all systems should do. Okta allows the creation of an SSO app; if not found in the marketplace. This is particularly useful when automating processes. Okta WI has allowed our company to go Passwordless and use biometrics to sign in. This is a much safer factor.
How easy it is to log in to different web pages, I love how fast the application is.
Nothing, I love using okta. I never have a problem.
Saves a bunch of time when it comes to logging into webpages. very straight to the point and functional.
Okta is such a great centralised point to be able to have SSO enabled on applications as well as provision accounts in a business. Saves the hassle of managing accounts in Active Directory.
Nothing at all, great for our business and support pretty much everything we require.
Provisioning accounts couldn't be any easier. Such an amazing and great tool allowing us as a business to manage our software and licenses by provisioning and deprovisioning apps. We have setup various rules so there are default apps assigned to new users when they join the business.
Okta is a top-notch Identity Cloud solutions that excels at providing a one-stop-shop which users can leverage to simply and seamlessly access their day-to-day SaaS applications via Single-Sign-On.
The only thing that Okta lacks, in my opinion, is a credential provider agent for Windows Pro. They have the Okta Credential Provider for Windows Server, and it works well, but the currently do not offer a similar solution for Windows Pro.
Okta serves as our single source of truth concerning our user directory. Okta thereby simplifies the process of setting up, provisioning, and managing all user accounts across all applications throughout our organization.
We use a lot of different software at Ada. Okta is an easy yet secure way to login once but easily access different platforms such as Dropbox Sign.
There is nothing I dislike. I usually only have to login once every 24 hours and it is a seamless experience to connect to other apps.
It acts as both a Single Sign On as well as a directory of all the applications I can access at a click of a button.
Every time asking for verification of account is very helpful,security points of view
Sometimes ask for multiple time security code or password
Businesses got secured and data breaching avoided
Super easy to use as a regular user to access all the company's app in one place.
Nothing really, it's great and easy to use!
It solves a big issue where companies have multiple apps and Okta allows easy one click to sign in to all of them. Saves me tons of time and I don't have to remember any passwords .
I love that Okta can integrate with many systems and is constantly looking to upgrade their client to support its customers better. Its a blessing for anyone who works in IT and wants to manage applications.
I just wish there was better reporting tools within Okta for doing deeper dives on App assignments and additionally if there was a way to bulk assign tiles to users.
Integrating applications to SSO makes our lives easier so all applications can be accessed through the Okta dashboard. It makes granting users access to software much easier!
Excellent documentation. Feature-rich, with all the tools available for the IAM use cases. Terraform support for most of the configs. Community support is also good.
It is comparatively costly. Recent exposures and becoming a target of hackers give a bit of concern.
We primarily use Okta for Single Sign On for employees across various departments. The configurations were straightforward and could be done via terraform rather than depending on UI. This was less error-prone. Logging, auditing and eventing were already present once the configs are done for compliance requirements.
Okta is a very user-friendly app. I have it connected to my phone and the Apple Watch, and I have never had any issues using it.
Haven't encountered any issues; there's nothing I dislike
I use it as a two-factor authentication tool. Great for security
I do not have to bookmark all my favorite or most used apps to my web browser. Okta has all my apps in one single place and is easy to maneuver and use to look for and download more apps
THe single sign-on is a bit of a process but nothing too difficult to use. I also have run into technical issues which did not allow me to open up certain applications dire to my job is completed.
It is keeping all my most used applications in 1 single place and organizes my apps to the most used. Having the market place to download new apps also lets me be more efficient.
The best is its single sign on which enables you to sign in to your network. This also verifys the right user identity for registered user.
There is nothing in specific which I would dislike.
Sometimes this might not work due to low network bandwidth.
Okta is a secure place where I can access my applications securely and safely with two-way or many authentication processes.
Before, I used to type the okta verify code on the pc by looking into the okta verify application on the mobile. When the code used to change very fast, and it used to be soo irritating to me, but they had recently updated so that easily the code will last for at least one and a half minute.
They provide a secure place for access to confidential and secure applications in a straightforward way.
Can use okra to log into all of my work accounts
Have to log in again after a month, wish it would be longer
Logging into our systems
Creates safe browsing for high traffic web usage
Nothing! Havent had one single issue with Okta
Helps create safe browsing, 2 way verification with important personal and company info
Very easy and straightforward to use with good extensibility for authorization.
OKTA org authorization lacks ways to verify JWT tokens by ourselves; we have to submit the obtained token to OKTA to check whether the token is valid.
OKTA solve organization wide SSO/authentication/authorization problems
The instant and real-time notification for approval or denial of login access is the best part of Okta. Once we enter the password, we can either select the code displayed in okta or we can ask for a push notification to approve it. It's so fast and no delay in response.
Sometimes when I enter the correct code, still it throws an error, I don't understand why. In meantime, the timer for the code expires, and a new code gets generated, and I need to enter the code again. it happens very rarely, but it's frustrating.
Being a Product Manager, I use very sensitive information from my organization as well as my client, there is always a fear of privacy being breached and data leaks. Okta gives a second layer of protection apart from the regular password to safeguard access to the required data and portals.
Okta is great for identity management and identity sourcing (being able to know what software are being used) - we especially love the use of SSO.
Okta can sometimes be a little touchy on the backend which can sometimes cause concerns across the company or processes get delayed because of it.
Okta is enabling our users to be able to self serve, create specific passwords that meet the security requirements set by the IT team, and create password security.
I like that I can keep all my business tools I use in one easy to find spot
When anyone gets a new phone, setting up OKta Verify is a pain
Business security and tool organization
Okta is a platform where our company provides access to the required software with a double verification process or triple verification process in a very secure way with Okta.
With my 6 months of experience, I haven't found anything complicated with the okta. Their interface and security levels are excellent there will be no lag in the interface while logging in to the application using the okta verification process.
Okta gives complete security to applications that I work on, no one can access my account without my phone OTP verification, and email verification which is a beautiful thing with okta that they are solving.
The Okta helps maintain secure logging in. The okta is upheld by bringing various platforms together and making it easy to access multiple websites by using them on the mobile application.
Unlike okta, multiple applications can use for secured login. The two-factorial authentication is sometimes getting frequent, which is a critical issue when we forget our mobile.
Okta solves problems like time management and search; we can easily access any platform through Okta. Yes, I am more productive using okta and will certainly recommend the best for corporate purposes.
The thing that I like best is only having one login for all accounts.
I really can't think of any downsides right now.
Making work incredibly more streamlined.
I like the feasibility in accessing all my applications at one place. I like that okta Okta gives me security and privacy and gives me secure line to access my data.
I just love okta. There is nothing to dislike in okta, but okta should allow more applications and make it even more secured and protective to access favourite applications
Okta is one stop solution for accessing all our favourite applications.It gives me secure line and more easy access to my applications that I use at my work. Okta is powerful tool in terms of privacy and security
Okta provides us a one-stop Sign in for all of our business needs. Previously needing to remember 30, 40, even 50 different passwords were unnecessary and slowed down our team. Still, now a single sign-on solution like Okta has provided us the security and the swiftness we need to get in and start working quickly.
One issue with the Okta login is the ability to put any modifier in the address bar to redirect users to the Okta sign-in page. This flexibility becomes a problem when the end-user mistypes the address or has an unseen typo for the sign-in page. At the same time, the webpage will look like the standard page to a novice; but the user will become increasingly frustrated when their login is not working.
We have an ongoing plan to continue to put our most common programs behind the Okta login. This solution will allow fewer passwords for employees to remember, especially for a user base that commonly has numerous complex passwords to keep track of during a busy work day.
I like okta because it gives me the opportunity of being able to track and monitor users, groups, and all the things that involve the actual process of all the things.
Honestly, I don't dislike nothing about the platform because all things that I use on my daily routine are very aligned with the things Okta offers me to accomplish my business goals.

I don't have to remember a bunch of passwords
It's difficult to integrate sometimes with tools
The problem to have to remember a bunch of passwords
The best feature of okta is that provides SSO solutions for the applications that we have in our company and our users are able to log in from a single screen from anywhere using our custom domain.
Honestly, we haven't had any downside or bad experience with the platform, everything including the support and communications with the company has been excellent.
The main problem that okta is fixing for us is that we have a full integration with our Domain Active Directory services and our users can access our system using a single login page and password.
One of the best things I found in Okta is the integration with Microsoft Active Directory. Since our organization currently use AD for almost everything, Okta perfectly integrates and helps us manage a granular Identity of our users.
Actually, I have not found any downside in Okta, but, I would love to have more integrations with our tools.
It manages Single Sign On, SAML, and other mechanisms of authentication. That allows us to reduce significantly the time we spend login into other platforms and tools, and also reduces the chances of password leakage.
Ease of management, compatibility, user firendly.
I have been using OKTA for a few months for the moment I do not have any negative comments about the app.
Time-consuming login process to different apps by end users
Reporting and single signed-on feature. Apps Catalogs and users provisioning, Excellent and fast support
haven't found something I Dislike about okta
provisioning Time, Reporting. SSO
