Easy Navigation and Single Sign-On Made Simple

Can be clunky integrating with other software. Sometimes creates errors in platforms that require time to troubleshoot.

Allowing us to work fluidly across multiple platforms and giving our team access easily.

How easy is it to integrate with many different tools while keeping everything under a single umbrella for users to manage
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be prescriptive for custom developments
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps our collaborators manage all the tools at their disposal through a single integrated dashboard, and it helps us reliably and seamlessly track who is using what.
Identity & Access Management: Okta
What do you like best about the product?
Okta is our centralized Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution, delivering a secure Single Sign-On (SSO) experience across our recruitment tools, including Greenhouse and Salesforce. It has noticeably streamlined our onboarding process by automating user provisioning, which cuts down on manual IT work and helps eliminate “password fatigue” for new hires. In addition, its adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) supports a high-security, Zero Trust approach, ensuring sensitive candidate data stays protected.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Okta is a market leader, its high per-user licensing costs and the complexity of managing custom integrations remain significant operational hurdles. As a centralized access point, it also creates a 'single point of failure' where any service disruption can result in a total loss of productivity across all linked platforms like Greenhouse and Salesforce. Additionally, the administrative interface requires specialized technical expertise, often leading to delays when troubleshooting sync issues between the ATS and the CRM.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta resolves the operational overhead of manual user management by providing a centralized Single Sign-On (SSO) platform for all recruitment tools. It eliminates 'password fatigue' for the team while securing candidate data through Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) that triggers only during high-risk login attempts. By automating the provisioning and de-provisioning of accounts, Okta ensures that new hires have Day 1 access to Greenhouse and Salesforce, while instantly revoking access for offboarded employees to maintain total data integrity.
Efficient Integrations but Flawed Search
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Okta has a lot of pre-configured integrations and excellent guidance. The API is good and makes it easy to add new applications to Okta. I also appreciate how the API facilitates integration with the HR platform and supports automations. Additionally, I enjoy how Okta is integrated with a lot of software, like Google Workspace and Slack.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search feature is awful; it can't search by the middle of a pattern. For example, if you need to find a group named access_slack_users, you can't find it by searching 'slack'.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Okta for user authentication, application management, and provisioning. It solves single-sign-on issues, establishes a point of trust for users, and manages the employee lifecycle.
Handy Single Login Access Across Tools
What do you like best about the product?
With one login you can access everywhere. It's quite handy actually.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have to re-log in every week, and it’s tool by tool. I think that once you log in to Okta, that login should somehow propagate each time you need to sign in to another tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having just one login for all tools, this is handy given i don't need to rethink my password and email everytime.
Simple, Easy-to-Use Tool for Work and Everyday Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
It’s simple and easy to use for work as well as day-to-day activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Long loading times often cause delays for me, which can be frustrating when I’m trying to get things done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s nice that I don’t need to retype my password every time.
Okta Keeps All Our Work Apps Organized in One Place
What do you like best about the product?
Having multiple work applications organized in one place is really great and makes everything easier to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t see any downfalls in Okta. If there’s one thing I can say, it’s that it’s addictive for people to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I haven’t faced any problems in recent days, and it’s been reliable to use.
Convenient One-Stop Access with Single Sign-On
What do you like best about the product?
All company platforms access is in one place. You log in once in the morning, and normally you don't have to log in again, as it's very convenient
What do you dislike about the product?
For some platforms, I have to log in independently of the first login in the morning, not sure why
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta has made a big difference in how we manage access across all our tools. Before using it, things like logging into multiple platforms, resetting passwords, or granting access to new joiners were quite manual and sometimes messy.
Effortless Integration with Powerful Automation
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Okta has many integrations with applications, which is really handy. I enjoy the rules feature because it lets us create specific conditions to implement automation, which really helps. The push groups option is great as it allows us to assign users to specific roles at the application level, making things much more organized. The initial setup of Okta was very easy, which definitely made the onboarding process smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
In rules, we cannot edit the 'then' statement, only the 'if' statement. If you need to add an additional 'then' statement, you have to delete the rule and create a new one. It would be nice to have it editable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Okta as my main IDP for SSO and SCIM provisioning, and it simplifies automation with its rules. The push groups option lets us assign users to roles at the application level.
Convenient SSO Access to All Apps in One Place
What do you like best about the product?
It’s really convenient to have all my applications in one place and access them through SSO, so I don’t have to manage multiple passwords anymore.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup can be a bit complex, and the interface may feel overwhelming at first, especially for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Okta makes it easier to manage multiple logins through single sign-on, which saves time, boosts productivity, and strengthens security. I also like having straightforward access to all my applications in one place.
