We performed a comparison between Okta Workforce Identity and Ping Identity Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems."
"Its simplicity and its integration with various vendor-agnostic platforms are the most valuable features."
"Other than Okta being an easy and awesome integration tool, one of the best features it has is the provisioning and deprovisioning, which makes management way easier. You don't need to be too technical to understand how it works."
"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"What I found most valuable in Okta Workforce Identity is that it worked together with VMware Workspace One, so there was this device check at the same time. My company used the trusted device method that enabled you to define that only the trusted devices including the Workspace One agent were able to access the applications directly without an additional authentication step."
"The tool helps improve our security and productivity."
"The product requires very little maintenance."
"The solution is highly stable and scalable"
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"We've not had any problems with Okta."
"The solution should have greater on-premises availability, not just cloud and more package customization in its processing."
"Therefore, if you have 10 million users, that's almost 100 million, so it is costly."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."
"RESTful Web Service calls and their response seem a bit slow."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The product is not customizable."
"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."
"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."

I used to use Okta in the past as a 2 step verification app and worked pretty well for more than 300 users. Nothing wrong with Okta. Easy to troubleshoot and easy to install. Also can be embeded into your profile company in case you need to have it installed it as a default solution.
I would recommend you use JumpCloud and they have 10 users free. So you can use it for trial level and then scale up. Its seamless, user-friendly, and simple.
