Hire2Retire helps address common IGA issues such as inconsistent access provisioning, delayed deprovisioning, and lack of visibility into workforce access. It standardizes and automates lifecycle processes, reduces the risk of overprovisioned or orphaned accounts, and makes it easier to manage access reviews and compliance requirements in a structured way.

At the same time, pricing can feel high, the admin console can be overwhelming at first, and some integrations take extra configuration. Support has been helpful, but non-critical response times could be faster, and we would like more AI-driven automation for provisioning and access reviews. How have you handled cost, onboarding new admins, and automation needs while rolling out Okta? Okta's security and SSO features save us enough time and effort that the higher cost and admin work are worth it.
