Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Okta, Google and others in Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS)."First of all, the solution is very simple."
"We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems."
"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 product requires very little maintenance."
"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 solution so far has been very stable."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."
"The product is easy to use."
"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"The product is flexible to use."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity. Everything is through a single click. We get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the support system, they are too slow."
"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."
"We've not had any problems with Okta."
"The solution lacks an on-premises deployment model so it can't offer a hybrid solution. It would be ideal if clients had options that weren't just cloud-based."
"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 configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"The company needs to do more to establish standard practices within the product itself that are common in the industry."
"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."
"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."
"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
"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."
