Aaron Levie, CEO of Box company in the United States, once praised Okta as a great driving force for the world to transform into cloud services. This is because Okta provides a solution to complex identity identification and access management in enterprises, that is, single sign on, Okta The cloud platform is similar to a password manager, which can provide a convenient application access experience for enterprise employees and customers.
Okta's success depends on seeing the future development trend and entering the market at the right time. At present, Okta's performance is still maintaining rapid growth, and its market is also growing rapidly. It is expected that the target market size will reach 30 billion US dollars.
Because Okta does not provide local services in mainland China, it is very slow and unstable to visit Okta in China. For enterprises who want to use such IDaaS services like Okta in China, Authing identity cloud, Yufu, and Jiuzhou Yunteng are currently the leading identity solution providers in China.
By comparing with Okta from six dimensions of identity platform, workflow, directory, application integration, user analysis, and development components, it can be seen that Authing is the only identity service provider that can replace Okta.
