Standout best for allowing one unified place to manage and control user access across all apps and systems. SSO features that allow fast and secure access. Multi Factor Authentication function is very reliable for ensuring strong security protection. Cloud Based nature which makes identity and access management easy and accessible from anywhere.

Heavy reliance on strong internet connection and limited offline access.

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

One thing would say is that while my personal experience was smooth and excellent, the setup and migration process can feel slightly complex for non-technical users or first time users who are a starter on their IT journey.

    Mar 1, 2026
    Okta is a powerful and feature rich tool for managing multiple user logins and access to different apps by offering SSO features and unified identity management. Instead of having many passwords for different apps which causes confusion and many password reset requests, it offers SSO that allows us to sign in once to access all apps.Features like Multi Factor Authentication improve our security by ensuring only authorized people can log in to our apps and systems.Offers a vast library of pre-built integrations with many apps like Slack, Google Workspace etc which saves time and effort when doing the set up of secure access for users across our organization.
