I’m unhappy with Okta setup complexity

That’s a common pain point. Okta can get complex fast, especially once you mix SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, groups, app assignments, and directory sync.
If you want, I can help in one of these ways:
-
Simplify your current Okta setup
- Reduce number of groups/rules
- Clean up app assignments
- Rationalize MFA policies
- Remove duplicate identity sources
-
Diagnose what’s making it complex
- Too many apps?
- Too many directories?
- Overlapping group rules?
- Confusing login/MFA flows?
- Inconsistent user provisioning?
-
Design a simpler target architecture
- Minimal Okta structure for a small/mid-size org
- Best-practice setup for SSO + MFA + provisioning
- A phased migration plan to reduce risk
-
Compare alternatives
- Entra ID / Google Workspace / JumpCloud / Auth0 depending on use case
If you’d like, paste a high-level description of your setup—like:
- number of users
- apps you use
- whether you need SSO, MFA, SCIM provisioning
- how many identity sources/directories you have
…and I’ll suggest a simpler architecture.
