| Starting Price | Typically available via enterprise quote; limited public line-item pricing | Often included as part of Microsoft Entra licensing (varies by agreement) | Enterprise quote; licensing models vary (per-user/per-app options) |
| Typical Fit | Okta-centric enterprises needing SSO/MFA and legacy web auth patterns (header/Kerberos) | Organizations standardized on Microsoft identity seeking a managed connector approach | Organizations seeking a ZTNA approach to replace VPNs with broader protocol coverage |
| Key Strength | Alignment with Okta policy framework and support for legacy web authentication patterns | Integration with Microsoft ecosystem and conditional access controls; connector-based model reduces appliance ops | ZTNA model with broad protocol coverage and network segmentation controls |
| Key Weakness | Appliance operational overhead and web-only scope; pricing visibility can be limited | Less suitable if Okta is the primary identity platform; limited suitability outside Microsoft-centric environments | Architectural and operational changes required; may be more than needed for small numbers of legacy web apps |
