    Dimensions summary

    You buy this identity platform through an annual contract, priced per user. Two options are available. The Starter tier at 100 users sets up a base identity foundation. The Essentials tier at 1,000 users adds more capabilities for organizations scaling their identity needs. The tiers differ by user count and included features, so pricing scales with the number of users you cover and the tier you select. Both are billed annually. To move up, you generally add more suite licenses, since all products in a suite share the same subscription count.

    Top-of-mind questions for buyers

    A user is one person you cover under the platform, such as an employee, contractor, or partner. Each person counts as one licensed user. The Starter tier covers 100 users; the Essentials tier covers 1,000 users. All products in your suite share the same user subscription count.
    Starter includes Single Sign-On, Multi-Factor Authentication, Universal Directory, and a set number of Workflows. Essentials adds everything in Starter plus Adaptive MFA, Privileged Access, Lifecycle Management, Access Governance, and more Workflows. Choosing Essentials raises both your covered users and included feature set.
    In most cases you add more suite licenses, since all products share the same subscription count. This keeps coverage consistent across the suite. A few exceptions apply, such as Workflows, Privileged Access, and Machine-to-Machine tokens, which can scale separately.

    Centralized access has improved secure workforce identity and simplified global cloud logins

    Reviewed on Aug 16, 2026
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    Okta Platform's main use case for our organization is workforce identity. We use Okta Platform as a workforce identity solution in order to secure the identity and access to all the cloud applications we have. We are also distributors of Okta Platform, so I have visibility from both a partner perspective as a distributor and as a customer.

    We have several cloud applications and we need Okta Platform Workforce Identity to access with multifactor authentication and single sign-on. Because we are a multinational company, all employees can access their applications from everywhere using Okta Platform to access in a secure way. This is the main scenario regarding our workflow and our company.

    We don't use those features at the moment, so I don't have that view currently. From the feedback I'm receiving from customers, Okta Platform is working well to improve the features, and maybe in the future, I could have a better view on that.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features Okta Platform offers include a well-done single sign-on that is easy to configure and use. The big improvement and the big quality of the product is the multifactor authentication that is complete and full of customizations. The delivery and deployment is really easy to do, and you can integrate Okta Platform with several applications, making it really easy to configure and integrate. You can set specific customizations for your specific needs. For example, we work around different countries, and we can put a specific double check for the identity when employees are working from and connecting from other countries than the specific countries where they typically work. This is really useful for our use case.

    We are a multinational company, and employees used to travel around different countries and need specific features and specific settings. This is the main important aspect for us in order to use in the best way the different platforms and the different software that we have in our company. Okta Platform's multifactor authentication is really easy to use, really fast, and you don't need extra tools or software, just an internet connection. When you log in to your application, you will have Okta Platform's interface that is really friendly and easy to use. Additionally, Okta Platform has a strong integration with CrowdStrike, the EDR solution that our main customers use, and this integration is really easy to use and valuable for sharing data about identity to CrowdStrike's EDR.

    What needs improvement?

    I don't have specific suggestions, but for sure, Okta Platform could improve with maybe some language tools. The translation in different languages could help employees around different countries, and these important aspects could be improved for sure. This is the only suggestion that I have.

    Another improvement maybe is not regarding the platform itself but more about the services. Okta Platform, especially in Europe where we are based, could improve the level of service. In some situations, I think it's not at the same level of the quality of the platform.

    To receive a perfect score, Okta Platform should improve some support service level and maybe add some languages to the translation. These are some points where they can improve.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I started to work at Westcon in my role in March of 2021, so it's more than five years that I have this role and visibility about Okta Platform and the cybersecurity market.

    What other advice do I have?

    We work as a distributor and all our partners and customers use Okta Platform, so that's really useful because we can integrate easily to all the applications of our partners and customers, but also with the cybersecurity ecosystem of solutions like CrowdStrike and Zscaler that we use in our company.

    The best thing that I'd like to share is the integration between Okta Platform and CrowdStrike, but also with other software that are standards. For example, we are Microsoft customers, but we don't use the identity of Microsoft; we prefer to use Okta Platform that has several integrations and an easy interface to configure all those aspects.

    The positive thing is that Okta Platform is a software-as-a-service with a subscription model, making it really easy to use. If you need to add some employees, it's really easy to add in the interface. We have customers that use Okta Platform, and what they say about Okta Platform is that it's a standard of security, allowing them to integrate the solution to their applications. For example, if they are a software house or something similar, the integration with their own solutions is the best feature and the best aspect of Okta Platform compared to other competitors.

    For sure, the security improved after implementing Okta Platform. Also, the timing for the delivery, as mentioned, was really easy, and today we can save a lot of time to log in and manage the identity to our standard cloud applications that we use. The improvement of the security is one of the most important aspects for us as a cybersecurity distribution company.

    Another improvement is not regarding the platform itself but more about the services. Okta Platform, especially in Europe where we are based, could improve the level of service. In some situations, I think it's not at the same level of the quality of the platform.

    At the moment we are not using those features of Okta Platform, but some customers of ours are using them, and I can say that overall, at a high level, Okta Platform is investing really well because they want to be a player that can support. To be honest, we are not using that at the moment.

    Okta Platform is deployed in a public cloud in our organization, which is really important for us. Okta Platform is definitely helping us to improve the identity and access to the public cloud providers because we also use Microsoft Azure and AWS to provide services to our partners and customers. Setting Okta Platform and using Okta Platform as our identity platform solution is really important for us. I would rate this review an 8 out of 10.

    Unified access has strengthened identity security and simplified secure logins for critical tools

    Reviewed on Aug 16, 2026
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for Okta Platform involves authenticating my identity as a user across many software platforms. The IT department at Melio built a solution wrapping logins for numerous applications, ensuring secure access to applications like Figma and AWS, which were all authenticated using Okta. Users could only manage access to applications like GitHub after installing Okta and successfully authenticating as Melio users, preventing unauthorized actions by other developers.

    What is most valuable?

    The best features Okta Platform offers include API authentication and authorization, along with a user-friendly interface that enables seamless logins for users, including access to sensitive applications like GitHub.

    I believe that Okta Platform is a mature, highly secure solution with high performance, capable of ongoing growth and a promising economic future.

    The positive impact of Okta Platform on my organization is evident, as it strengthened security and streamlined identity management for various teams, including IT, dev, and testing teams, making login and authorization processes much easier and secure.

    The reduction of security incidents was significant, with the GRC team monitoring Melio's operations becoming increasingly effective, allowing everyone in the organization, including UI/UX, product, and dev teams, to feel more secure and have significantly improved privacy.

    What needs improvement?

    To improve Okta Platform, I suggest simplifying web manuals to be more understandable for non-technical users, making it easier for them to navigate both the API and user interface levels.

    A common issue with many software products is the need for better error messages; having clear descriptions can greatly assist IT, developers, and testers in debugging when users misuse the application.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Okta Platform for about two and a half years, with one and a half years at Melio, a FinTech company in Tel Aviv purchased by Xero.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Okta Platform is stable, with no bugs or lags noticed during my thorough testing of the API and seamless username login using Google SSO.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I am not the best person to evaluate Okta Platform's scalability, but it seems extensive.

    What was our ROI?

    The return on investment with Okta Platform is evident through a decrease in the time spent logging in or reconstructing usernames and passwords, relieving the support teams from managing identity-related issues.

    What other advice do I have?

    Okta Platform made the login process seamless for me by providing security measures for critical applications like GitHub, a major tool for developers. It prevented unauthorized access, ensuring production code remained secure, especially when employees transitioning from their roles could pose risks to the codebase.

    Between 2020 and the beginning of 2022, I thoroughly tested a Java API above Okta Platform API and observed how Okta Platform secures logins and roles efficiently. I found it effective in managing user roles, allowing for efficient upgrades from regular to admin roles, demonstrating that Okta Platform is a highly secured tool for authentication and authorization with good performance.

    Mainly at Melio, I experienced quick and secure logins to GitHub and other accounts, which I wanted to protect from unauthorized changes. Okta Platform allowed for this level of security, ensuring that only authorized individuals could access and modify sensitive information.

    Okta Platform does not protect non-human identities beyond that, as we are not an IoT organization and primarily operate services that transfer money from our system to banks or credit card companies, lacking security for routers or IoT devices.

    I have not personally noticed measurable security or operational improvements since implementing Okta Platform, as I mainly interact with it as a user rather than as a DevOps or IT professional.

    My advice for others considering Okta Platform is to design your security, authentication, and authorization roles thoughtfully, akin to IAM and Identity Access Management on AWS.

    I do not have any additional thoughts on Okta Platform except for one inquiry regarding its performance on secured cloud platforms, particularly under Israeli cloud security solutions and how well it manages heavy loads. I give this product a rating of 8 out of 10.
