I would recommend Okta.Keepass, Lastpass, and Dashlane are more targeted to consumers while Okta is focused entirely on businesses at roughly the same price. We did a comparison matrix and found Okta offered the most relevant business features, more customer support, and more regular updates. It was easy to setup and maintain. | |
We okta for ~300 people and it works great. Easy to administrate and use. | |
We use Okta for about 200 users. I love not having to have 3 or 4 (or more to do it REALLY right) to manage. I just run the agent on two different VMs (with access to DCs) and I'm done.Administration is fine. We've only been using it about 60 days but there haven't been any outages and the support tickets were answered very quickly. In both instances, it was simply lack on information on my part, not service issues.I'd definitely recommend it to anyone managing ADFS. Now that it's more likely they'll cause a sign-in outage than us, I'm happy. | |
We recently switched to Okta at work, and while it's better than the no SSO we had before, it's really annoying and makes a lot of things a pain the butt. | |
We chose Okta among many other options because of ease of use. With something that becomes the starting point for nearly everything our users do throughout the day, customer experience was our number one factor. It is great that the easiest to use also seemed to have the largest application catalog and was one of the most robust for administrators. All of these together made it easy to “sell” internally even though there were systems with a lower acquisition cost. |
