Okta Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about Okta is how easy it makes managing authentication and SSO across multiple applications. It provides a reliable and secure way for teams to access different tools without juggling multiple logins. The integrations with many popular SaaS applications are straightforward to set up, and the admin console makes user and access management fairly simple. It also helps improve security with features like MFA while keeping the login experience smooth for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area that could be improved is the admin UI, which can sometimes feel a bit complex when managing many applications or policies. It may take some time for new administrators to get familiar with where certain settings are located. Additionally, troubleshooting authentication or SSO configuration issues can occasionally require digging through multiple logs or settings. Improving the debugging experience and simplifying some workflows would make the platform even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Okta also makes it easy for me to log in to essential systems like Costpoint, both online and on mobile, without having to remember multiple passwords. In addition, I can quickly access UKG through Okta, which keeps all of my HR information—such as payroll, PTO, and personal records—organized in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love using Okta as it provides an intuitive and clean UI, making the experience seamless, especially with its Single Sign-On feature. All the applications appear as easy-to-find tiles after a single login, which means I don't have to remember different passwords or where to find my apps.

If there’s an outage, MFA delay, or sync issue, access to multiple applications is affected at once, which can temporarily block work. The setup and troubleshooting process can also feel complex for non-technical users, especially when permissions or devices change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Okta because it provides access to new types of authentication like Multi-factor Authentication, which is really helpful and easier to implement. It ensures only our engineers can log in to the system, even if somebody knows the username and password, by integrating measures like OTP on phone and fingerprints, giving us a 360-degree assurance of authentication. The setup was way easier than we thought, thanks to ample available help online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Okta is that it is very secure. It's a secure app that we definitely use, and the only way to get past it involves devices like the phone, using a fingerprint. So for me, I love the security of the device. I also find it easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing that I did not care for with Okta was when I got logged off and couldn't get the information I needed for the app. I had to go through technical support just to get my info back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really helpful as a single sign on service for a lot of business applications in use. It is easy to navigate once I'm signed in and use all of our apps in Okta and navigating between them is seamless and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like for an alternative to signing in besides requiring my phone. Other secure methods that may involve my device in use such as a passkey or email check or something would make it easier, also I would like more visibility into sessions and how much time I have in my session before having to sign in again.
