- exolymph 10y agoThese two companies are on my beat, so please hit me up if you have interesting insights on them! smann@inc.com
- fnbr 10y agoI know that we're pretty unhappy with Okta at work because they recently acquired & shut down Stormpath, which we were using for authentication. It's made us reluctant to trust Okta & similar SaaS.
- jasonlotito 10y agoOkta, a single sign-on solution that you constantly have to sign in to. I _love_ it.
- Arcsech 10y agoWe 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.
- arjie 10y agoWhat do you have trouble with? I found it rather painless to use. Allow automatic login when linked to OS login and supports Google Authenticator. Far prefer SSO over the alternative.
- brazzledazzle 10y agoI think it's designed with functioning desktop SSO in mind. A longer session timeout would probably make it less painful for those without that but security teams tend to frown at that. Regardless functional desktop SSO is something they should stop expecting their customers to have in place if they ever want to thoroughly capture the SMB market.
- JoshGlazebrook 10y agoAt least I'm not the only one...
- yalogin 10y agoWow I am hearing this name Yext for the first time ever. What do they even do?
- knownothing 10y agoTheir primary product allows businesses to manage their online location listings. So the locations, hours, coupons, all that jazz.
- SnowingXIV 10y agoSo, basically mozlocal but for larger companies and lot more expensive?
- cachesking 10y agoOne of their biggest competitors is a fraction of the cost and size. 0. https://alllocal.com/ https://alllocal.com/
- spyspy 10y agoSeems like a B2B. From what I can gleam from their website they use their proprietary "knowledge engine" to help businesses curate their web presence and connect with customers.
