"We believe that Gartner’s continued recognition of Okta as a Leader serves as strong evidence of our sustained leadership in identity and access management,” said Ryan Carlson, Chief Marketing Officer, Okta. "We also believe it’s clear validation of our focus on making our customers successful. This will remain our top priority as we continue to extend the Okta Identity Cloud to new business resources like critical infrastructure and on-premises applications. Additionally, we’ve delivered new capabilities to unlock deep customization and extensibility of any identity experience through the platform. We're confident in our ability to deliver first-class access management solutions for enterprise workforces — employees, contractors, and partners — and customers.”

In Q1 of this year, the company announced that 6,550 organizations are using Okta to securely connect people and organizations to the right technologies.

This report defines the AM market as "vendors providing solutions that use access control engines to provide centralized authentication, SSO, session management and authorization enforcement for target applications in multiple use cases (B2E, B2B, and B2C).” This is the third year in a row that Okta has been named a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Access Management.
