For a lot of software, you need to be trained extensively and have a very technical background. Okta Workforce Identity is quite simple. You can integrate any software into Okta. They've got a network of 7,000 applications that easily integrate into it."
"It's easy to use and straightforward."
"This solution has a lot of capabilities and features."
"The provisioning functionality has been the most valuable. This solution has good performance, fast integration and is very responsive."
"It is dependent on the evolution of your user base. It depends on usage per user, so the more sign-ins there are, the more expensive it becomes, so it works best for smaller companies from a financial perspective."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Yes, it is very stable. I have never seen it go down, not once."
"With SASE, we have a single platform that covers multiple task services with which we need to control access. All the features are equally valuable."
"The scalability of the solution is great."
"The most valuable features of Zscaler Private Access are its ability to integrate with multiple IDPs and application segmentation."
"What I find most valuable in Zscaler Private Access is that it's a VPN. Its connectivity as a VPN is its most valuable feature."
"It does the job. What it is needed for. I can use it for VPN, I can use it for secure connections, I can use it as a firewall. So the solution does the job."
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Private Access is the categorization of the dynamic URLs which keeps the customer's environment protected. The threats and the malware are correctly categorized."
"The best feature is the ability to establish the connection between your public network and automatically connect to the intranet connection."
"The ability or the options in the solution for changing the look and feel are not good enough because in our partner portal, essentially what they have is an ugly admin interface."
"The guest user access could be improved."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"Setup is a bit complex because there are many steps that need to be taken before onboarding and activating the solution."
"More on-prem infrastructure is required when Zscaler Private Access is to be implemented as a single point of entry."
"There could be more DLP-related features. Additionally, there needs to be flexibility for integrating ISP features."
"The DX layer could be better if it had improved visibility."
"Zscaler Private Access could improve by improving external access. If external parties want to access locally to my company's services, we need to onboard them into our domain, otherwise, it doesn't work. Additionally, if their company also has Zscaler Private Access, then it doesn't work. They need to log in with our domain ID, not their company ID."
"To enhance their offering, it is advisable for them to focus on strengthening the foundation of their architecture. Additionally, they should consider integrating a broader range of services that go beyond what managed service providers typically offer independently."
"SCMP support would be one of the biggest improvements in my opinion. More speed improvements are also required."
"It's an expensive solution."
