Okta Erfahrungen

Okta SSO

Kommentare: If cost is not an issue, this is should be the tool to go to. This is one of the best IAM tools present out there.

Vorteile:

The deployment and app integration with Okta is fairly simple. The tool is very admin friendly and user friendly. It's due to it's ease of use and wide variety of features that it offers, it is one of the best IAM tools and regarded as one of the best SSO solutions out there. The SSO integration is very simple and straightforward with most of the apps and most of the vendors that support SSO integration with Okta. The option to have an independent directory as well as an option to integrate with your existing directory works quite well. Other features such as life cycle management, Directory service and threat management make it a complete package. If cost is not an issue, this is should be the tool to go to. The documentation is very clear and the supoort is very responsive. The deployment takes less than 3 months.

Nachteile:

The only downside is the cost which is much higher as compared to its competitors

They will sell you then drop you and won't get in touch until it's billing time again

Kommentare: We had a terrible experience with Okta. Our sales rep left out very important details that would have dissuaded us signing up. First, the SSO paywall for 3rd parties is so massive and of course they left out that detail. For $12k per year, our costs would exceed $50k in 3rd party charges, just to connect the core apps we use on a daily basis. Second, they said Okta would work seemlessly for our customer service reps, who check in on email accounts and different software services that we use; however, after talking to 3 customer service reps, we found out that we could not achieve this using Okta, making this all-or-nothing deal fall short of our needs. Thirdly, they insisted that we pay them to get support on the product that they sold us on. I would highly recommend first googling "SSO wall of shame" and thinking twice about signing with Okta. They are hounding us to pay for year 2 when we did not even launch it in year 1. Steer clear of these guys, they will bait and switch and they only care about signing new customers.

Vorteile:

Getting the team set up was relatively straightforward.

Nachteile:

Setting up individual apps can be tedious and not straightforward. They offered no support unless we paid them. The paywall for SSO is very steep. Multiple users cannot access single accounts using Okta Verify.

Intutive Identity provider

Vorteile:

It is a multi-tasking tool that can be used for variety if things such as dynamic grouping, SCIM provisioning, SAML, user on/off boarding etc. The most powerful tool within Okta is its workflows.

Nachteile:

Pricing, its an expensive product and you rarely get any discounts.

Streamlined and Secure, but with a Learning Curve

Kommentare: Overall, my experience with Okta has been positive, particularly in how it streamlines identity and access management across the organization. The platform's user-friendly interface makes it easy to manage users, and the integration capabilities with various applications simplify the process of connecting different systems. The security features, especially multi-factor authentication (MFA), provide peace of mind, knowing that access to sensitive data is well-protected.

Vorteile:

Okta supports a wide range of integrations with various applications and services, simplifying the process of connecting different systems within an organization.

Okta can be expensive, especially for smaller organizations or those with a large number of users. The pricing model can be a barrier for some businesses.

Despite initial setup challenges, it proves to be the winner for legal professionals who seek success in both security and compliance. It does instill confidence that one's data is secure and allows our team to be productive and compliant.

Vorteile:

I really like the granular control over user permissions that Okta gives us; it makes all the difference for data security and compliance. Integration with our legal technology stack has really minimized workflows and audits. Advanced multi-factor authentication and single sign-on capabilities lock up the platform securely and in user-friendly ways. More impressive, Okta easily flexes towards compliance of ever-changing regulations and management of diverse application access.

More support during the onboarding phase would be helpful.

Identity and password management by Okta is excellent

Kommentare: My experience with Okta has been quite good and has saves my time resetting password that I forget.

I only need one primary login details and from it, it will store and remember all other username and password for each software that I have.

The process to add each login details from different website and software is lengthy and boring.

Hands Down The Best SSO/Adaptive MFA Solution on the Market

Kommentare: We have been more than pleased with Okta. It makes signing into a bunch of different applications so much easier and only having to remember one password. Without having any prior knowledge with SAML, being able to set up new applications was still very simple and straightforward.

Vorteile:

Okta has simplified everything for us. The process of setting up applications is pretty straight forward, and the number of applications that are supported is amazing. The adaptive MFA is really neat so we can easily balance security and usability to meet just about everyone's needs. The amount of work we have to do to onboard a new user has been reduced drastically through the support of SCIM and APIs. They continue to innovate and bring out new features that further enhance the usability and security of Okta.

Nachteile:

Only minor issues with Okta, primarily being chose of wording for some of the settings that lead to some confusion on when Okta sessions expire.

Okta is Interesting

Kommentare: Our headquarters switched from Zimbra to Okta several years ago. Although Okta seems to be much better than Zimbra (our email is now powered by gmail), I wish that the Okta capabilities were a bit more obvious. I just discovered that I could attach other software/services like Mailchimp and social media accounts as plug-ins. My overall experience has been good...just slow-going.

Vorteile:

I would say that it is easier than other team/workforce email software that our company has used in the past. However, I still find it a bit convoluted. It seems like there are many things that can be integrated into our Okta settings.

Nachteile:

I do not know if this is the fault of Okta or our headquarters, but it is still hard to see the full benefits of using Okta for our workplace email/communications.

OKTA-for Everything

Kommentare: Product support is good. 4 out of 5.Ease of Use.API are readily available to integrate with other application.Maintaince is easy.

Vorteile:

Ease to use and the API are readily available. The SSO part is so nice and you can use for multiple devices. one more feature that i like is Enable passwordless authentication into anything. admin work is simple here.

Nachteile:

as of now we are using this software for good. not sure any problem we are facing with the same. Most of the time we are getting support from the OKTA team faster and the problem resolution/ turnaround time is good.

Nice app to use for single Sign on perspective

Vorteile:

It is praised for its robust identity and access management solutions, streamlined user authentication, and comprehensive security features, making it a preferred choice for many organizations.

Nachteile:

The complexity of Okta's interface and the learning curve associated with its implementation

Okta Buyer Review

Kommentare: Need to provide Single Sign-On (SSO) and policy modeled MFA/Adaptive Authentication along with Directory integration are the main use cases. Okta hit it spot on!

Vorteile:

SaaS Model, easy to provision and supports the most used applications from an access management and directory integration perspective. The user interface and capabilities are light years ahead of the competition.

Nachteile:

Limitations around on-premise integration with applications and environments. This is not too bad as a SCIM provisioning agent/component is available to support limited provisioning to on-prem applications.

Powerful and flexible identity management

Kommentare: Okta stands out for its flexibility and high levels of identity management security. It fits very well into the enterprise infrastructure and the centralized administration process facilitates secure access to applications and cloud environments.

Vorteile:

It is easy to manage user access to applications. Offers a very fast and secure login that simplifies access to the application stack, access notification arrives instantly. It has excellent customization options that enhance its ability to adapt. Enables you to create integrations that strengthen security, drive operational processes and strengthen automation.

Nachteile:

This solution provides robust identity management. Initial setup is cumbersome and time-consuming.

A great add-on to application development

Vorteile:

The best feature was the Okta Sign-in widget which was used as all the application's sign-in page and served by an AWS Lambda function without issues. The registration (onboarding) flow was easy for users to follow. Integrations to in house developed application + AD was easy to implement. Reporting to see which users were internal vs external made it easy for us to implement different password policies. We were also able to integrate with other clients that were already using Okta for SSO.

Nachteile:

In my opinion the API rate limiting tiers are expensive to operate at scale.

Offers multiple, customizable access management options

Kommentare: This is an easy to use platform that integrates easily with other applications, is well supported and provides a secure authentication process with the ability to create our own policies.

Vorteile:

Features a customizable and easy-to-use dashboard that facilitates user login. Enables effective role management and optimizes the management of the entire user identity lifecycle. It offers the advantage of having access to business resources centralized in a robust, customized security and access control system.

Nachteile:

Although this platform offers reliability and ease of access and identity management. I would like its user interface to be a bit more modern and visually pleasing.

Okta Review

Vorteile:

Single Sign-On (SSO): Okta offers a robust SSO solution that allows users to access multiple applications with just one set of credentials. This eliminates the need for users to remember and manage multiple passwords, enhancing convenience and productivity while improving security.

Nachteile:

User experience limitations: While Okta provides a user-friendly interface, some users may find the user experience less intuitive or visually appealing compared to other identity and access management solutions. The customization options for the end-user interface may be limited, potentially impacting branding or user adoption in specific scenarios.

Okta improves your security posture and makes authentication to your tools near frictionless

Kommentare: They have continued to build a product that enables IT teams to manage employee identity. When we first deployed Okta workflows, we knew that their product and engineering teams consulted with Corporate IT teams to build Workflows. So far, I have not seen them slowdown on innovation and iterating on their product(s) which is good for a customer like me.

Vorteile:

- Ease of use even for junior IT admins- Ease of deployment- Okta Workflows extends your ability to automate user provisioning outside of regular SCIM options- Identity governance (IGA) is a game change in the IGA space especially if you're an existing Okta user. Workflows that can be built in Slack/Teams makes it much easier for your IT and Security teams- Setting up a new application that's part of their catalog takes minutes

Nachteile:

Nothing of significance as they continue to innovate and release new features.

Great tool for giving end users access

Kommentare: we use this for so much, a user wants to access an email account or group, give them a chicklet for it, it allows for much better sharing of items and greater control over the access as well which is great.

Vorteile:

I love this tool. No longer have to risk giving out passwords to account. I can just give my user access to an OKTA account and then assign them chicklets to access account, software, groups and so forth, without them ever having to know the password to them. It works well and is fairly easy to use and set up users. The AD tie in is nice and helps in making it easier to add users to your account. Put yourself at ease and give OKTA a real look you will not be disappointed.

Nachteile:

i would say adding users can seem a bit tricky and odd if you don't do it all the time, it could be a little clearer on adding users into your account. but other than that its pretty solid software

Excellent Identity provider

Kommentare: The experience is quite good, and user management is very easy

Vorteile:

Okta is very to use, it's very easy to create user, add them to application/group and put in place a very good identity management system

Nachteile:

The search engine : I don't understand with a software of this quality, the search engine is inefficient.The search is made only on exact terms, with an input in the exact order. It can be difficult to find a software or a person if you do not know the exact spelling

I No Longer Have to Remember Passwords!

Kommentare: I love it. In the future, if I ever get my own business off the ground, I will definitely be considering OKTA as a software that we will use.

Vorteile:

At my company, we had separate logins for SO MANY PLATFORMS. And you know how it goes - each password has to contain a certain number of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, special characters, etc. It was getting so hard to remember passwords, and I was getting sick of having to reset my password every time I logged into something. OKTA solved that problem for me. By navigating to the OKTA page, I could click on one of the "tiles", and it would log me into that platform. Made my life 100x easier.

Nachteile:

Occasionally, I would have issues logging into OKTA itself, which made it impossible to log into my other apps. This was a bug that our IT team seemed to fix. Aside of that, a lot of my issues turned out to be user-error. Once I received training for OKTA, all of my problems were resolved.
