Efficient Access Control and Reduced Compliance Risks with Okta

4.0 5 months ago

Comments: Okta has centralized our identity management, greatly streamlining our compliance efforts. Very tight access controls can now be applied with the help of this platform to make sure only authorized personnel get into sensitive data; hence, the risk of non-compliance is reduced.

Pros:

What I appreciate most about Okta is its precision in managing access controls. Since we use adaptive MFA and context-aware policies, we govern access to huge security without disturbance to workflows. It is really very easy to integrate with current systems, hence making compliance management much quicker/

Cons:

Okta has tons of functionality, and it was a bit complex during the initial setup. This wasn't much of an issue, since Okta does have full documentation and support that tends to respond well—making the learning curve relatively shallow.

Security That's Simple

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: Whether I'm using my computer or phone, Okta is a great way to stay secure without all the headaches. It saves to much time and makes my work life much easier!

Pros:

Okta makes logging in really easy and painless, I barely even have to think about it! It's quick, secure, and reliable. Definitely gives me peace of mind. And we don't have to juggle a bunch of passwords...I just verify my identity once and I'm good across the apps I use.

Cons:

No real issues with it. It was fairly simple to set up and use. If I ever need help the support team is accessible and easy to reach.

When it works, it works!

3.0 last year

Comments: I like the dashboard of being able to create schedules and calendars of employees assigned to certain after hour responsibilities. When the password prompts you to reset, it won't allow it. It will ask for a security phrase that I was told "has no answer" so you'll never get back in and you have to reach out to customer service to have it reset. None of the security questions you pick are relative.

Pros:

I like the dashboard of being able to create schedules and calendars of employees assigned to certain after hour responsibilities.

Okta is a security must-have for all of your employees.

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: This is an everyday tool in my line of work as it makes sure that only people with security clearance are able to access the sensitive tools that we utilize. It is also really useful to provide role-based permissions.

Pros:

Provides awesome security and authentication to make sure that only approved people have access to industry-sensitive tools.

Cons:

Sometimes the log in can bug out and recognize your username as a different user. Trying again fixes this.

Okta is a great work asset

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Overall I would say it is a great app for accessing all your web based apps and storing passwords.

Pros:

Having all my work web apps in one place, and the Alt+O quick key to bring search/open an app.

Cons:

When accessing it on mobile (outside of office) I have to send myself a code to type in and it only lets you choose a max of 2 days before it asks you again.

Okta is Excellent!

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Excellent overall experience with the okta hub, great to use and easy to access all my important apps in one portal.

Pros:

Okta is a great all in one platform for any company to help their employees be more efficient and organzised. The platform helps keep track of all the software and portals for each employee and you can customize each user hub individually to meet their needs.

Cons:

Overall the Okta hub is great, it can be well customized to meet your requirements. I think the portal can be much more fun but it is super easy and to the point.

Secure Tool Management Platform

5.0 8 months ago

Comments: Overall, it is a great tool that I have used in more than one company and can understand why it's used in a lot of tech companies. I would recommend this tool.

Pros:

I love how easy Okta is to use. Once you login, all the apps that you have access to are just a simple click away. It feels like an added level of security as I've tried to access some apps listed in Okta by just using the site's password and username, but was redirected to sign in through Okta instead.

Cons:

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.)

Unfortunately, there are complaints that the software sends an error message even when you've entered the correct password.

Okta for double authentification and working tools access

5.0 last year

Once i login to Okta i find all my working tools available with one click such as mail inbox

Cons:

It sometimes take a little bit long to login after entering the double authenticator code
