"The tool helps improve our security and productivity."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."
"PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use."

"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."

"The integration with third-party tools needs to be improved."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
"The initial setup can be complex at first."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."

"The product is not customizable."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"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."

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.
