Multi-factor authentication and single sign-on provide us with high security and does not introduce friction to the employees. User onboarding and offboarding is highly fast and the password management options minimize IT workload. The platform also goes hand in hand with most of our already existing tools and it generally saves a lot of time with keeping access secure. > > **Cons**: The administrative dashboard may be a little overwhelming to beginners, and certain integrations will need additional configuration, which might have to be done technically. Although the basic functions are functioning successfully, I believe that Okta could be somewhat enhanced by making the interface more user-friendly to the non-technical administrator and include more step-by-step guidance when configuring the system. > > We have been generally pleased with Okta. It has made managing identities and access easier throughout the company, improved security through trusted methods of authentication and made the IT workload involving password resets and new user onboarding smaller. Although this has a slight learning curve on the administrators side, once all the settings are made, the platform will be smooth and will not need much maintenance. The use of Okta has integrated into our work process at DishIs Technologies, which has made accessing all data and information secure, convenient, and efficient. ----- ### "Top Notch IAM Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 January 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's quite easy to use. It's widely compatible with a wide range of services. Support, the few times that we've needed them, have been responsive and quite helpful. We've worked with their Professional Services team on a couple of occasions and found them to be extremely competent and great to work with. They communicate well on service interruption issues or upcoming events that may impact our service. > > **Cons**: There hasn't been much not to like, at least for what we use it for. If I have a complaint, it's that their logs can be a bit difficult to decipher, but part of that is because we don't need to do so all that often. > > Our overall experience has been almost 100% positive, which is unusual, but refreshing. As a non-profit, Okta offered us a fantastic discount and several hours of free implementation services under their Okta for Good program. The service has been 100% solid and the utilization of their Lifecycle Management using our HR system as a source has greatly improved our workflow. ----- ### "Very reliable" — 5.0/5 > **Irina** | *21 November 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Okta everyday and I think of it as a necessity for what we do. > > **Cons**: Love okta, no pitfalls to mention here.. ----- ### "Identity Governance - be careful" — 3.0/5 > **Karl** | *25 December 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Their Identity Governance's product's features are easy to use and easy to configure. It took us only a short time to get everything setup, and we were able to do so by ourselves, mostly. > > **Cons**: The product teams initially told us certain features would be ready within 6 months after our purchase. However, they could not live up to that promise and after using their product on ID Governance for 12 months, we gave up because critical features were not ready. > > The sales and product teams were too aggressive promising us certain features would be ready. ----- ### "Okta is a good management platform." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Okta helped keep our data secure. The MFA system was great and easy to user. Getting users set up was easy too. > > **Cons**: I had a few cons, it was sometimes really slow and sometimes the "keep me logged in" feature did not work. I get the 2FMA things but why have the option if it does not work? > > Overall, I can look past the cons because it stays secure. Okta is a great way to manage single sign on and I like it. ----- Page: 1 / 39\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/419181/okta?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/419181/okta) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
