Is YeshID an Okta Alternative?

Short answer? For small and mid-size businesses, yeah, we are.
‍
Enterprise companies have their pick of fancy tools for managing security, compliance, and employee access. But for SMBs, the options are… spreadsheets, checklists, and a lot of busywork.

That extra overhead often means IT teams end up delaying security and compliance. It doesn’t make sense.

‍Security shouldn’t be a luxury.

And so we built a tool for the “IT Department of One”. Whether you’re the founder of a 10 person startup, or the CISO at a 300 person scale up, chances are you have have better things to do than wrestle with administrative work.

Okta = Overkill

People often call Okta the gold standard in Identity and Access Management (IAM). And while it’s great for enterprises, smaller and mid-sized businesses might find it a tough fit. Here’s why:

* High Cost

Okta is expensive. On top of the platform price, you’re hit with implementation costs and the infamous “SSO tax,” requiring costly upgrades to your existing software.

* Limited Support for Non-SAML Apps

Many businesses rely on apps that don’t support SAML. Okta shines with SAML apps, but for everything else? You’re back to spreadsheets and scripts.

* Complex Setup

Implementing Okta is a project. It often requires dedicated resources or consultants. The interface itself? It’s not the easiest to navigate.

We think there’s a better way.

YeshID is a modern IAM platform designed specifically for businesses runnning on Google Workspace. 

Why? Because Google Workspace already gives you core features like SSO, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and basic directory management. These features are similar to what Okta offers—and you’re already getting them FOR FREE with your Google Workspace account.

YeshID enhances Google Workspace with automation and security features—delivering Okta-like capabilities at a fraction of the cost.

YeshID + Google Workspace = Okta alternative
