AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Okta excels in overall user satisfaction, boasting a significantly higher G2 Score compared to Google Cloud Identity & Access Management. Users appreciate its ease of use, with one reviewer highlighting how quickly it connects to other platforms.
- Users say that Okta's implementation process is notably smooth, with many praising its intuitive onboarding features. In contrast, Google Cloud IAM has received fewer recent reviews, which may indicate less current user engagement and feedback on its setup process.
- Reviewers mention that Okta provides a superior experience in account management and security authentication, with features like fingerprint login making the process simple and efficient. Google Cloud IAM, while also recognized for its security, does not have as many standout features in this area according to user feedback.
- According to verified reviews, Okta shines in its support quality, with users rating it highly for responsiveness and helpfulness. Google Cloud IAM users have noted good customer support as well, but the overall sentiment leans towards Okta being the more reliable partner in troubleshooting.
- Users highlight Okta's robust features for user provisioning and multi-factor authentication, which are rated highly by reviewers. Google Cloud IAM offers flexibility and security, but users have pointed out that it may not match the comprehensive capabilities of Okta in these critical areas.
- Reviewers note that Okta's reporting and tracking features are particularly strong, allowing for better oversight and management of user access. While Google Cloud IAM is described as easy to use and flexible, it lacks the depth of reporting capabilities that Okta users have come to rely on.
