Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Okta, Google and others in Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS)."Enabled MFA to access federated applications as well as increased user satisfaction through improved provisioning times and more reliable processes."
"We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The MFA part is the best. MFA provided most of the security that we were looking at with respect to the second level of authentication. Okta Workforce Identity provides a number of options with respect to multifactor authentication, such as the app, phone call, and text. These options provide different ways of logging in for users, and they were a lot more than what we needed. This is certainly a very good feature of Okta Workforce Identity."
"First of all, the solution is very simple."
"The solution can scale very well."
"They have good push authentications."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"It is a flexible tool because it works on JSON."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"The lifecycle management part can be improved. It should also have identity governance and the ability to choose a specific factor authentication at the application level. Its licensing and pricing can also be improved."
"I would appreciate it if Okta Workforce Identity becomes more user-friendly. Its API technology is complicated. Certain applications may pose challenges in terms of integration, especially when they require IDP technologies that aren't easily codable. While I can't provide specific examples, some applications may not integrate with Okta Workforce Identity."
"The solution's user interface needs to be improved and made easy."
"There are some issues with the interface that can be improved."
"SSO and MFA for improved end-user experience, and protection against password spray attacks, account password self-service."
"In my country, there's a lot of stealing of mobile phones, and mobile phones are the authentication device through the Okta application. If someone should steal my mobile phone, which is very common in my country, he or she might have access to my company account. That's my concern."
"Application updates are lacking. Customer support needs to be improved."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"UI and support could be improved. The frequent updates and version changes can be disruptive for large organizations. Not every month, a large organization can go with the changes. Saviynt needs to consider this carefully."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
