We have been using OKTA Identity Governance for some time now and overall our experience has been outstanding. The platform is reliable, easy to use, and offers strong governance capabilities that help us manage identities and access efficiently (considering that we have more than 1000 employees in our company). We particularly appreciate the wide range of integrations and the solid security framework, which make it a great fit for our environment.

“Implementation Insights and Limitations Experienced During Okta IGA Migration Process”
In the process of implementing Okta IGA I hold a multifaceted role: I am part of the information security team, assisting with the implementation, reviewing the rollout from a security perspective, and am also a consumer of Okta’s existing services. The base platform and 2FA solution are already widely used across nearly all our applications and have operated reliably for several years. For the IGA migration, we are engaged in design, requirements gathering, and review meetings. We are collaborating closely with the Okta services team to facilitate this transition, which involves a thorough review of our existing workflows and integrations, meticulous mapping of these processes to Okta IGA, and strategic planning for translating services. While the Okta team demonstrated precision in understanding our processes, the business requirements document they delivered did not meet my expectations for detail and lacked the comprehensive level I anticipated. Our organization has definitively decided to transition to Okta after a comprehensive evaluation, with cost being the overriding factor. Our pre-existing relationship as a customer of Okta’s two-factor authentication solution also influenced the decision. The process involved key stakeholders, including our CIO and CISO. The entertainment industry, which we are part of, experienced significant financial pressure due to events like the writers’ strike, making cost not only the primary driver but also the secondary and tertiary drivers. When revenue is impacted, all cost centers undergo intense scrutiny. Early indicators from our development environment show that for basic functions, there is a clear one-to-one mapping. Okta IGA currently addresses approximately 65% of our organizational requirements, and we consider the ROI positive, particularly in terms of the cost reduction achieved.

OIG Experience Faces Usability Challenges With Certification And Request Type Features
The overall experience is clunky and in need of significant changes. OIG at its core has the potential to have more features, things like delegations, changes for app owners, and improvements to the certification components. There are no slack reminders for certifications and we have to manually run them. The unification of Request Types V1 and Request Types V2 will definitely help the overall experience for both admins and users. Some other key items that an help users is the ability to know what apps they have requested without having to request it again, and if they did request it again they would get notified. There should also be a tool to help migrate items from request type V1 over to request type v2, if it uses AI, then that would be ideal. Another item that could be helpful would be a decision solution that helps admins decide which request type would be most useful based on the type of criteria needed for requests. In the certification space, it would also be ideal to help pre-create certain certification types.
