The one that amazes me is Okta.

OK their Mac UX is great, but given their rate of incidents how can you trust it?

Clearly this stuff is not actually bought based on track record.

Funny I used to work in an org with Okta.

Having your own auth workflow was instant fail with the well architected framework committee. Using Okta was instant pass.

I don't necessarily disagree with that policy but given that Okta was breached several times while I was working there, it was interesting the extent to which our CSO had blinders about it.

As someone that is not really in the game, does Okta have such a bad track record, and are there alternatives that are considered solid? From the outside, it seemed like EntraID is a bit of a burning dumpster fire, while Okta seemed expensive, but usable and decent (from comments I read)
