Okta Mobility Management

  • August 19, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, ease of administration! Manages just the right amount of features for our users to make the IT department happy, and lets our users feel like they are still in control of their devices. Great extension of their desktop SaaS solution for Android and iOS devices.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that 3rd party apps would update faster to be compatible with the Okta Mobile app. Apps like Asana, which our users need on a daily basis, will not allow for the push through of passwords from the Okta mobile app to the Asana mobile app, making the whole experience on mobile cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We didn't have to train our users too much on how to use Okta mobile because they were already using the Desktop client daily, and as an admin, managing Okta Mobility Management is a seamless experience just like managing the Desktop client.

What do you like best about the product?
Sending users to a single place to log in to whatever application they need.
What do you dislike about the product?
As Okta has grown and added more (awesome) features, their support department is not able to provide the level of expertise that they used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provisioning and deprovisioning apps. The "what's my password" issue.

Let's me access work files from my phone

  • May 19, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
So okra is cool because if I'm at a conference or otherwise away from the office, I can literally access all my files on my phone. You could do this with google apps too, but what I like about okra is its a separate app, so I can access work files on my personal mobile devices without connecting my personal and professional google accounts. Okra gives me access to my files, box, and other important info I tend to need to pull up in remote meetings and while networking and so forth.
What do you dislike about the product?
Okta is clunky in the sense it has a lot of verification steps. Not tons, but just a lot of clicks you have to get through. Yu have to enter your code super fast or else it times out and you get another, so it can add some pressure there, but not a whole bunch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can access files remotely. That's the really big benefit here. Ivan show coworkers files in their office or at lunch or conferences without carrying a clunky computer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have google you might find Okta redundant for information access, but it is pretty neat to have both.

Okta is great

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, loads pretty fast, not annoying
What do you dislike about the product?
N/A - it's pretty useful
I don't really have any complaints
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I like the simplicity, ease of use, and it's not annoying (unlike LastPass)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't use LastPass. Okta is great - it just works.

Rock solid SSO with a lot of innovative extras

  • April 20, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Excellent user experience for end users and admins
What do you dislike about the product?
Delivery dates on features are often later than advertised
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking to move to a SAML 2.0 compliant SSO service while also replacing our on premises MFA solution. Okta met both of these requirements.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I believe Okta is a company on the rise. They provide a rock solid SSO solution with MFA included, but have expanded their offerings beyond just SSO. Critical to our business is their deep integrations with service providers like Microsoft, Google and SalesForce. This allows us to provision accounts directly from Okta rather than using one off, scheduled sync scripts which are running on a server no one knows about. They are also thought leaders in driving identity and strong authentication forward.

Stormpath, easy to use.

  • April 15, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Stormpath is great and it makes my user management easy. I could implement an LDAP server and spend a bunch of time deploying and managing or I could spend less money and use Stormpath. They have already setup a bunch of resources for you use in your preferred language. They also make it easy to create a hierarchy of user groups and permission plus ad hoc attributes. All of it stored in JSON in their data store.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only gripe is it's a shared service unless you get the enterprise level. So you're lumped in with other clients and they do not guarantee uptime or response time on the service level you only get an SLA on the enterprise. So if another user is slamming it, you're gonna have a bad time. They do however offer discounts on enterprise level plans if you ask.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User management and user permissions in a multitude of apps. Also have a whole organizational hierarchy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use the REST API to accomplish good results with mobile platforms, especially use the REST API if you don't want their canned login and signup form.

Security with Ease

  • April 15, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
So many things. The best thing would be how quick updates come out with new features and how much they listen to their customers. From EMM to SSO they do so much on a daily basis to help us admins server our customers better.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isnt much that i dislike. I know some other vendors may have some other bells and whistles that would be nice to haves but nothing beats this new Okta empire that has begun.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving SSO and Mobile management problems. We realized that ours users can have a much better experience when sitting at their desks or on the go with mobile devices. Using Okta gives our users fast secure access to their apps wherever they are.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. With Okta you cant go wrong. They are very open and willing to listen to everything you have to say and will most likely build it into upcoming releases. I have seen many of my requests answered.

Okta SSO Review

  • April 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, point your employees to a URL and enjoy not having to manage everything for every employee with a fine tooth comb! We also enjoy being able to build custom "chiclets" for in house apps, never having to give employees credentials to access certain features, and removing access without having to involve a user or their end point. This product has saved a lot of headaches and time.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not too much to dislike about the product, but be ready to customize the "chiclets" for in house apps. I don't see a way around this issue, but their support was helpful when we had some small issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not having to give out credentials to certain 3rd party or in house apps to end users. Ease of removing access when employees leave, reduced time spent with onboarding/offboarding.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan out your apps, confirm that they work with Okta natively. Go over AD setup with Okta beforehand so you're ready for a smooth transition.

Excellent, Cannot fault!

  • March 03, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to use. There is very good communication between the company support and ourselves. A very good SSO solution.

Okta Integration with Office365 is very easy to setup and the documentation is very easy to follow if you get stuck.

The mobile authentication through okta verify adds a great extra layer of authentication and is easy to configure.

Overall i cannot complain, from the setup to the customization of the okta home pages it is all very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to come across much/anything to really dislike with okta. I must admit it is one of the software that we use where i don't talk to the reps or deal with the money side of it, but from the management to the customization i cannot find fault.

The mobile authentication can sometimes be a little temperamental when resetting or changing somebody over to a new phone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SSO makes it easier for our users to not have to worry about multiple passwords, it takes the stress away for many employees.

The home page on okta makes it easy to set a default for all users, giving them a one-click option to go to everything they need helps speed up new users familiarity with our software greatly.
