Is YeshID an Okta Alternative?
Short answer? Yeah. We are.
Large Enterprise companies have their pick of fancy tools for managing security, compliance, and employee access - because they have multiple millions of dollars for product and 5-10 person teams to manage those tools.
That extra overhead often means IT & Security teams end up delaying security and compliance. It doesn’t make sense.
Security shouldn’t be a luxury.
And so we built a tool for the “IT / Security Department of One”. Whether you’re the founder of a 50 person startup, or the CISO at a 5,000 person scale-up, chances are you have have better things to do than wrestle with administrative work.
Okta = Overkill
People often call Okta the gold standard in Identity and Access Management (IAM). And while it’s great for large enterprises, everyone else might find it a tough fit. We call that Oktholm Syndrome. Here’s why →
* High Cost
Okta is expensive. On top of the platform price, you’re hit with implementation costs and the infamous “SSO tax,” requiring costly upgrades to your existing software.
* Limited Support for Non-SAML Apps
Many businesses rely on apps that don’t support SAML. Okta shines with SAML apps, but for everything else? You’re back to spreadsheets and scripts.
* Complex Setup
Implementing Okta is a project. It often requires dedicated resources or consultants. The interface itself? It’s not the easiest to navigate.
We think there’s a better way.
YeshID is a modern IAM platform designed to manage effective access for all identities: human, machine, agent.
Google Workspace and Microsoft365 already give you core features like SSO, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and basic directory management. These features are similar to what Okta offers—and you’re already getting them FOR FREE with your Google Workspace or Microsoft365 account.
YeshID enhances with lifecycle, compliance and security features—delivering Okta-like capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
