Okta serves Fortune 100 companies, governments, and enterprises such as Wyndham Hotels, Hitachi, Takeda, McLaren Racing, and Mars. Gartner has recognized it as a Leader in the Access Management Magic Quadrant. The platform differentiates with an integration network covering thousands of pre-built app connectors and support for both workforce identity and customer identity use cases in one ecosystem.

Key capabilities:

• Single sign-on and adaptive multi-factor authentication including passwordless options and biometrics
• Universal Directory for central user and group management across systems

Developers integrate via REST APIs, Auth SDKs, and framework-specific libraries such as Spring Boot, ASP.NET, and React to add authentication and authorization to applications.
