Okta is the leading identity and access management platform, verifying that the right people have access to the right systems. 19,000+ organizations use Okta to manage logins for employees (Workforce Identity) and customers (Customer Identity). Zero-trust security - never trust, always verify - is impossible without identity platforms like Okta.
Key relationships in depth
Okta and Microsoft maintain a co-opetition relationship in enterprise identity: Okta integrates deeply with Microsoft 365, Entra ID, and Azure Active Directory through its Okta Identity Engine, enabling enterprises to use Okta as a neutral identity broker across Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications. In 2025, Okta co-launched the IPSIE open standard for enterprise SaaS identity interoperability, with Microsoft as a named early adopter alongside Google.
Why it matters: Enterprise customers increasingly run both Okta and Microsoft Entra to manage different identity domains, with Okta serving as the workforce identity layer spanning multi-cloud and SaaS applications where Entra alone lacks breadth. Okta's vendor-neutral positioning allows it to serve as the identity control plane even in organizations deeply committed to Microsoft.
Okta integrates with Google Workspace as one of its highest-volume identity federation use cases, providing SSO and lifecycle management for millions of Google Workspace users across Okta's enterprise customer base. In 2025, Google co-adopted Okta's new IPSIE open identity standard alongside Microsoft, positioning the two companies as collaborators on next-generation enterprise identity interoperability.
Why it matters: Enterprises using Google Workspace as their productivity suite still require Okta for multi-application identity governance that spans beyond Google's ecosystem, giving Okta a durable role even in Google-centric organizations. Google benefits from Okta's enterprise relationships, as Okta customers often evaluate Google Workspace adoption alongside identity management projects.
Okta crossed the $1 billion cumulative sales threshold in AWS Marketplace in January 2025, making it one of the first identity security vendors to reach that milestone through Amazon's cloud marketplace. Okta's Workforce and Customer Identity Clouds are available for procurement through AWS Marketplace, enabling enterprises to apply committed AWS spend against Okta licenses and simplify multi-year contract structures.
Why it matters: AWS Marketplace serves as a critical distribution channel for enterprise SaaS, with procurement teams preferring to consolidate vendor purchases through a single cloud platform relationship. Okta's marketplace listing accelerates deal cycles for customers with existing AWS committed spend, making Okta more accessible to cloud-native enterprises that are already AWS-first in their procurement.
