Best forEnterprises consolidating SSO, adaptive MFA and directory into one identity platform; Regulated organizations needing access reviews, privileged access and audit-ready governance; Companies securing customer-facing apps with Okta Customer Identity or Auth0; Teams bringing AI agents, service accounts and non-human identities under existing controls; Global organizations that need local support coverage across many countriesMultinational employers running payroll in many countries who want one provider and one governance model; Companies consolidating multiple in-country payroll providers into a single global model; HR and finance teams that need payroll wired into HRIS/HCM systems such as Workday, UKG, HiBob, Sage People or Cornerstone; Organisations with internationally mobile staff needing assignment payroll, expat tax and mobility coordination
Not forVery small teams that only want a basic SSO widget and want to avoid a $1,500 annual minimum; Buyers who require fully self-serve list pricing, since Professional and Enterprise suites are quote-only; Organizations unwilling to invest time in directory and application integration; Air-gapped or on-premises-only environments with no cloud identity dependencySingle-country employers with simple domestic payroll needs; Buyers who want self-serve payroll software with no managed-service layer; Teams that require published, self-checkout pricing before evaluation; Very small headcounts where a global managed payroll model is disproportionate
