I like the clean design of the program, and the ease of use once registered/etc. Does what it's intended to do.
There is some delay in push notifications at times. Also in case you loose your phone then you are caught up since you need phone to login and need to work with helpdesk to get it sorted.
It’s a user friendly, budget friendly. This tool gave me good performance, good quality and security at all times.
The only thing I would say is a con for this software is that you need to have the app downloaded to your phone. If you lose your phone, you are in trouble.
This is a superb application, recommendable to those in a business and working in an administration or other field.
The thing I disliked most about using Okta is that if you try to access Okta from another device it is very difficult. You pretty much need to add the plug in and log in again on that device.
I used this product for multiple years and it is fabulous because of its integration capabilities & seamless attributes.
Sometimes the security can be a bit much (having to send push notifications multiple times). If I didn't have my phone or Apple Watch on me, I would be in trouble for having to access Okta.
The experience has been amazing. Excellent communication with the company, and a great tool.
MacOS Break Glass could use some work, though most of that is on Apple since they have horrible identity management for enterprise users.
The customer service is great. Not only were they extremely helpful with us implementing this, but they are also very responsive if we have questions about features.
I know this may sound crazy, but we have yet to see any cons at this point. This could change down the road, but as of now there is not any.
It has all of the features required from a PAM solution. The portal is very intuitive and easy to understand and the deployment is super easy.
You now need to drop the application to the Admin by Request icon. Users don't now that sometimes.
From the outset, Admin By Request impressed me with its intuitive interface and seamless integration into our existing infrastructure.
It may not work well with some applications that require admin rights for installation or updates.
Speaker 1: Hi, there, my name is Jake. I am the owner of my company. I've given Okta a five-star review, and for more reviews like this, click below. So we've tried a lot of two-factor authentication products, but Okta honestly just fit the bill. We've used built-in ones by Microsoft. We've used some third party, just honestly, plugins and things of that nature. But to be completely honest with you, we didn't really have a security solution that Okta didn't fix for us. We deployed Okta, and one of the biggest reasons that we deployed Okta is simply because I needed a method that my employees would be able to authenticate wherever they were. We're an entirely mobile workforce, and we definitely needed something that worked across anywhere as long as you had a cellular connection that you would be able to authenticate with our network and keep our resources safe. So Okta, being that it's in the cloud, works everywhere, and that's really important for my mobile workforce. I have technicians who are up and down the entire state, and honestly, we just don't have the ability to VPN back to the office to get any kind of resources without needing some kind of authentication. Okta saves me a lot of time and hassle, and it makes sure that my company is secure. So when we first were starting to deploy this software, Okta made it very, very easy. First of all, they assigned us a support professional to walk us through every step of the way. Secondly, it was remarkably easy to integrate with our existing active directory environment. And thirdly, they honestly helped us get all the redirects in place, get all the authentication in place, and they're still there helping us today whenever we have any kind of anomalous logins. So for anyone else who may be interested in deploying this product, let me just tell you, it is remarkably easy to deploy. And being the fact that it exponentially increases the security posture of your company, I cannot recommend one, two-factor authentication enough. If you don't have two-factor authentication deployed now, what are you doing? And two, Okta just makes it simple. It is honestly a pay for it, set it and forget it.
