Okta is the largest independent identity platform — its customer list is a who's who of enterprise IT buyers, making it a strong signal source for security and infrastructure deals.
The Auth0 integration creates cross-sell opportunities across both workforce IAM and customer identity (CIAM) use cases.
Identity is foundational to zero-trust security strategies, positioning Okta at the center of nearly every enterprise security architecture decision.
With 19,000+ customers and deep integrations across 7,500+ pre-built connectors, Okta's adoption signals reveal broader IT modernization trends at target accounts.
Key competitors based on market analysis and public filings.
Okta provides cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) solutions. Its platform enables secure single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, API access management, and lifecycle management for both workforce and customer identities.
Okta generates revenue primarily through subscription fees for its cloud IAM platform. Customers pay based on the number of users and the product modules they deploy (Workforce Identity Cloud, Customer Identity Cloud via Auth0). Subscription revenue accounts for over 95% of total revenue.
Okta competes primarily with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), which benefits from bundling with Microsoft 365. Other competitors include Ping Identity, CyberArk (following its SailPoint acquisition), and ForgeRock (now part of Thales). Okta differentiates as the leading vendor-neutral, independent identity provider.
Okta's primary advantage is its neutrality — it integrates with any application, cloud, or device without vendor lock-in. With 7,500+ pre-built integrations, the broadest identity network in the industry, and a unified workforce + customer identity platform (via Auth0), Okta offers flexibility that bundled solutions cannot match.
