We performed a comparison between LastPass and Okta Workforce Identity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"It's always hard to put a value on return on investment. You avoid one breach and it's paid for a million times over. We got a penetration test company internally, just to see how secure our network is, and there happened to be one bit of software that had been overlooked by an external company that managed it. It hadn't been upgraded so that managed to get them into the network. They would've been able to access through the test thing a file that we had previously. If that was a real-life scenario they would have been able to get into our network and get full access to our organization's passwords. If they did get in, they would have gotten access to the cloud. The ROI we see is that we are completely secured compared to what we had previously where there was a vulnerability."
"One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes."
"Scalability is fine, no issues with that, especially now that they have added different user-level permissions. That has made it a lot easier to delegate out certain features to have other people do."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"This product helps keep us secure."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"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 ease of deployment, ease of use, and speed of delivery is what I like about Okta Workforce Identity. It is very easy to use. 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."
"The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"It's reliable and it does what it is advertised to do."
"Having a single sign-on to all our applications."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the integration with external websites one-factor authentication."
"The solution so far has been very stable."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"You can't hide the device when you're checking logs."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"The solution’s policies are difficult to understand due to the policy methods. They use authentication. The solution’s workflow is also difficult and not very active. They need to have proper documentation on it. In the next release, I would like to see the workflows being more digestible."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"It's not compatible with on-premises installations, unless you host it as a SaaS. We were not able to do that. For example, imagine a scenario where the cloud is not available. Then, Okta will not work for you. That use case will readily fail because it doesn't have an on-premises installation that you can use to authenticate or provide identity and access management. If you have a purely on-premises solution that is not connected to the internet, then this will not work. This is one area that can be improved."
"SSO and MFA for improved end-user experience, and protection against password spray attacks, account password self-service."
"We have experienced some challenges in integrating this solution with Scope and Cognito."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
