“Single Sign-On and Fast Authentication Enhance Workplace Efficiency With Okta”

4.0
Jan 5, 2026
I use Okta every day to access our internal tools, cloud infrastructure, and documentation. It simplifies my workflow because I don't have to remember a dozen distinct passwords for Jira, GitHub, AWS and our HR portal. The dashboard is clean, reliable, and generally stays out of my way so I can focus on work rather than fighting with login screens.

Okta Workforce Identity Likes & Dislikes

Like

The single sign-on (SSO) integration is the best feature. Being able to click on a tile on my dashboard and instantly get authenticated onto complex tools without re-entering credentials is a huge time saver. I also appreciate the mobile verify app for MFA, and the push notifications are much faster than typing in SMS codes or TOTP tokens when I'm trying to get work done quickly.

I like the convenience of single sign on. I also like having all of my work apps on one dashboard.

Setting up the Okta side of SSO is always the same; no matter what the other side of the application looks like, the Okta side is consistent and universal. This speeds up at least half of the setup process, if not more.

Dislike

Sometimes the session timeouts feel a bit aggressive, forcing me to re-authenticate multiple times a day, though that might be our internal policy rather than an Okta issue. Occasionally, when the verification push notification doesn't arrive immediately due to network lag, the fallback options (like finding the code manually) feel a bit clunky compared to the primary push method.

Dislike

Sometimes it is hard to quickly find the app I need to use. I have also noticed that when I filter my apps by ascending order, the filter does not remain when I exit and re enter my dashboard.

Dislike

On occasion, I've found that the apps that are publicly available in the App Catalog don't work, but I don't know this until after I contact the app's support and they tell me to just use the custom integration method. It seems rather pointless then to have a pre-built app integration in the app catalog if the developer of said app says not to use it. It's difficult to get all the Shadow IT apps accounted for in Okta. People will sign up for any app under the sun and only tell IT that they need Okta SSO after they've been using it for a while. It makes standardization difficult if you don't know about all the apps up front.

    Centralized Access to Multiple Services Simplifies Daily Workflow for Remote Workers

    5.0
    Jul 19, 2025
    It has made using a disparate host of services so much easier, from B2B services to communication apps. Especially if you are a remote worker. In addition to the ease of logging in to so many services, the fact that every app is on one page makes it infinitely easier to find whichever tool you need, from internal tools to accounts on public services.

    Okta’s Customization and Access Policies Balanced by Complex Configuration Risks

    Dec 18, 2025
    Okta has a robust API and access controls, but many of the settings exist across multiple panels within the app, making single-pane management of a given function somewhat of a pain.

    Our Overall experience with Okta has been positive. It's a reliable and secure identity management platform that has helped streamline user access and improve our authentication processes.
