Okta Identity Governance: features, pricing and who it fits
Okta Identity Governance is an add-on to Okta Workforce Identity that bundles access governance, lifecycle management and no-code workflows. It cannot be bought alone, and the vendor's product page does not describe segregation of duties, which matters for SOX-driven buyers.

What vendors in this category ask before quoting
Answer these once in a SaaSBid request and Okta Identity Governance and its alternatives quote against the same facts.
- How many identities, including contractors and service accounts, need to be governed?Most vendors price per identity, and the count sets the tier.
- Which directory and identity provider do you use today?Okta, Entra and Ping add-ons only work on their own platforms.
- Which business applications and on-premises systems must be connected?Connector coverage drives implementation effort and may require extra licenses.
- Which audits or regulations drive this project?SOX or similar rules make separation-of-duties controls a requirement.
- Do you want SaaS, a private cloud or software run in your own data center?Deployment model changes price, timeline and staffing.
- What is your target go-live, and do you have identity engineers in-house?It decides whether a partner or accelerator program is needed.
