I kind of wonder how a company with such an iron grip on SSO can't manage to be profitable. That and I literally saw a job listing from Okta last weekend, so they're probably just trying to replace their tenured high cost employees with cheaper workers.
It could also have been a ghost listing, but yeah, I'm baffled they aren't profitable
~~Probably because for the development stage they racked up such a massive debt they are collapsing under that weight.~~
Nope: looking at the linked filing, their sales and marketing is about half of their operating expenses. This includes sales and marketing direct cost, employees and stock options. Seems like they spend a lot of their budget there. And when their subscription income fell they need to follow suit. This was seen coming from a mile away.
CEO shouldn’t have a job anymore. How is a company like this not profitable.
Oh thank god we just moved our auth to them. Such good news. Feck
It's such a shitty MFA service. RIP to them getting pwned again.
It wasn’t my choice 🥲
What would you have recommended? We're shopping solutions right now and looking at Auth0.com
I have no idea. For a business it kinda makes a bit of sense; as we don’t have to have a RODC exposed ; but for me Okta is a solution in search of a problem
Now, having years of work in it. Oh joy they’ve achieved bugger all.
Same!
Okta is a tech giant now?!
Pretty big in their space, not eure for how much longer though.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
