Okta's list price starts about $7/user/mo - https://www.okta.com/pricing/ https://www.okta.com/pricing/ - That's not a huge sum. And in this increasing hybrid world, not uncommon for companies to be less than 25 employees and buying into SSO. Okta's also probably the most expensive of the major dedicated players in that space (like Ping, OneLogin, etc).
Now lets look at some end systems:
* https://slack.com/pricing https://slack.com/pricing -- Almost doubles in price to get SAML. $5.83 /user/mo increase.
* https://zoom.us/pricing https://zoom.us/pricing -- $50/user/year increase (~$4.14/user/mo)
* https://www.atlassian.com/software/access/pricing https://www.atlassian.com/software/access/pricing -- $4/user/mo
A lot of other systems don't even publish their prices, like Smartsheet. But just two of those systems alone are more than the cost of Okta. And hardly any companies have only "2 or 3" systems to SAML.
So as a business you can get a SSO provider for reasonable cost, but end up paying many multiples more than the cost of the provider...to the services to get support. Is each individual service breaking the bank? No. But are they a problem for IT staffs to get budget cumulatively? Very much so.
- flappyeagle 4y agoI didn’t say you can pay for enterprise pricing because okta is expensive monetarily. I said it’s because oktas UX is terrible and only enterprise companies would force that on their employees.
