Simple tool, integration with multiple apps using SSO

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Okta in my organization to view my incentive statements , plan summary with detailed view on commission rates that include billable hours , service billings ,service revenue ,Global service rate table, Services CB over achievement and service revenue over achievement. Okta via Xactly docs intiates the workflow for awaiting approval task for which you also receives reminders to approve official documents of organization.

Pros

  • Login process is single sign on which means if I login to Okta I access other official stuff like UKG, outlook , slack etc.
  • Multifactor authentication that prevents from phishing for example employee is working from remote location and location is being changed system sends notification for 2 step verfication which is great feature .
  • Automated HR to Employee workflows for approval .

Cons

  • Reporting is average -risk of missing important stuff during audits.
  • Sometimes I felt workflow is a bit slow
  • MFA sometimes doesnt work as expected and you get to verify repititively

Likelihood to Recommend

Where Okta is well suited 1. Multiple products can be used using single sign on and MFA. 2. Makes life easier when you have good amount of hires in your organization and smooth access to all systems by simply logging into Okta will solve. Where Okta is less appropriate 1. Small organization which uses just 1-2 apps . Cost gets higher in that case.

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Okta helps our team to manage all the apps for all the everyday operations, from technical tools, or hr, management, or money stuff. it is centralized and easy to follow up. Update or request new permissions, I think that the usage of this tool has enhanced the everyday life of our organization. Thank you Okta

Pros

  • Easy finding new apps
  • easy requesting permissions
  • centralized organization of tools

Cons

  • it seems like a smooth app
  • more details on the available app
  • like details, numbers and permissions

Likelihood to Recommend

bilingual, you can use spanish and it works very well, it’s response is very fast, you can quickly search apps, and requests permissions, maybe some extra support for things you can’t find would be great, otherwise, the functionality that is present now, works very well, and no need for extra stuff, thank you

Best in Class SSO

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Okta to access all of my apps, ie. Salesforce, Zoom, Rippling, etc. and it's an essential part of how I securely access tools.

Pros

  • Simplicity
  • Effectiveness
  • Passwords

Cons

  • Accessibility

Likelihood to Recommend

Any corporate setting where employees need to securely access company software would be the best use case. Less suited for personal use

Integration with a wide range of cloud-based / SaaS applications (Google Workspace, Salesforce, Zoom, Slack, Microsoft Office 365, among many others.) Managed with Single Sign-On (SSO) & Multi-Factor Authentication to securely grant access to specific resources to our external partners, contractors, and vendors.

Pros

  • Simplifies Integration
  • User-Friendly Interface
  • Strong Security Features
  • Broad Compatibility and Feature Set

  • High Long-Term Cost and Over-Provisioning
  • App Setup can become Tedious
  • Significant cost barrier for enabling SSO for third-party applications

Likelihood to Recommend

It has extensive compatibility and rich feature set of integrating with a wide array of core systems and SaaS platforms.

Reliable identity management with robust security

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Okta to use apps assigned to me such as Salesforce, Workday etc. The best thing Okta addresses is we can see and use all the assigned applications to us from a single sign-on and from the single page. I can also use the same apps from my mobile phone browser.

Pros

  • Single Sign on- This allows us a single sign in for all the assigned apps.
  • MFA- Multiple ways to secure the sign-in(s).
  • Deployment- quick deployment without any major requirements.

Cons

  • I think there's a scope to improve the User interface such as better search functionality.
  • Customizing options for end user dashboard should be added.
  • Session cutout is very annoying

Likelihood to Recommend

1. SSO- Users can login only once for all the applications without being login again and again for different applications.

2. Supports Mobile web browsing- User can have the Okta mobile app to access the applications on the mobile phone.
3. Automatic onboarding and deboarding of an employee.

Apart from this, the only less appropriate is I think the pricing, it needs to be pre define especially for small organizations.

Great, Simple To Use, Application Access Identity Management Tool

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Okta for signing in to various corporate assets regardless if on the corporate network or at home. The use case is for safely accessing various applications and making sure it is me who is requesting access to those applications. The application is easy to use and prevents unauthorized access.

Pros

  • Allows easy Login to various corporate applications
  • Requires simple login for various custom created spreadsheets, notes
  • Identifies who is accessing these applications

Cons

  • Okta Verify has made it simple to access corporate applications
  • I do not have any suggested improvements

Likelihood to Recommend

Again, it is well suited for people accessing applications securely on the corporate network as well as when working from home. I do not have any scenarios where I think it is less appropriate.

Okta easy implementation across many platforms

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Okta to control all roles throughout all apps and including how long people can stay signed in before reauthenticating in order to quickly cut down access to extremely sensitive private data.

Pros

  • simple implementation
  • permissions control
  • timed expiration

Cons

  • previously stored password in plain text
  • difficulty in understanding limitations of token refreshing

Likelihood to Recommend

Okta is well suited to having more control over a large organization with lots of permissions on many apps that potentially need to be shut down fast

Okta makes employees lives easy

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Okta as our single sign on solution for our org.

Pros

  • manage applications and software
  • Single sign on
  • authentication

Cons

  • two factor authentication is required too often
  • when moving to a new device the two factor authentication gave me difficulty

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a really easy solution for getting into all your different software applications. I can't speak about it from an IT perspective, but I can say that if you are evaluating it for your org, your non-IT people will have an easy time using it.

Okta, great single sign-on tool

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Okta is used as a safe and fast login tool, it enables 2 steps verification in many different options. The best thing about it is that it uses the same login for everything, so it integrates windows login, gmail, confluence, bitbucket making it easier to login in all the accounts and applications we need. at the same time it is also safe using 2 steps login with connection to safe devices.

Pros

  • 2 steps verification, it uses trusted devices to enable 2 steps login
  • apps login integration, with Okta we can have a single way to login, don't need to remember lots of different passwords
  • it looks to be always evolving, sometime ago we received an update to login with fingerprint

Cons

  • we could have a login session enabled so we can just login once, now for every different app we need to pass through the login interface again

Likelihood to Recommend

when thew company uses a lot of different sites/apps and need to authenticate on all of them Okta is a tool that would facilitate the access to the different sites/apps. When the company doesn't have a lot of things to access I don't see a need to add Okta to the company, but it still a good security tool.

Okta - SSO and Workflow management

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Okta to drive a workflow from our HRIS system. This workflow onboards staff into our company including door access cards, timecards, software licensing, etc, right down to their name on their nametags. Once onboarded Okta performs as our foundation for single sign-on.

Pros

  • Secure single sign on
  • Integration connectors for workflows
  • Streamlined workflows.

Cons

  • Tiered pricing options - Okta pricing can be complex and can be an impediment to expanding its use.
  • Enhance reporting - could provide better insights into user security & use

Likelihood to Recommend

Okta is great for single sign on, and it can be performed in many ways on most device types.

Okta's workflow management is a strength allowing a single tool for both sign on, and license management.

Okta might not be a great fit for organizations that are cost sensitive, or don't have the staff to manage complex licensing implications.
