Why YeshID is Better Than OKTA Workflows
If you’re an organization already using Okta, chances are you’ve made some smart moves. You’ve likely upgraded parts of your stack to SAML, added SCIM support where possible, and chosen Okta to lock down access to business-critical systems. That’s a great foundation.
But here’s the catch: Okta is only part of the puzzle.
Let’s talk about where YeshID fits in—and why it’s the smarter place to invest next.
Okta Isn’t Built for Everything
Most Okta customers we talk to manage 200–400 apps. Some are in Okta, and a surprising large number aren’t. Why?
- SSO.tax - Need I say more?
- Many Newer SaaS apps don’t support SAML or SCIM (AI apps anyone?)
- Others have weak or no Okta integrations.
- And when you need customization, Okta Workflows is the answer—but it’s slow, rigid, and expensive to build and maintain.
So teams are stuck stitching together brittle systems, writing Python code, juggling Jira tickets, and chasing access approvals manually.
That’s where YeshID comes in.
YeshID: Built to Work With Okta (and Eventually Replace It)
YeshID was built to plug into your identity stack today—and help you move beyond it tomorrow. We're not just “simplifying” Okta workflows. We're reimagining them entirely using an AI-native approach that gets you to value faster.
Here’s how:
🧠 Meet Your AI Agent for Identity
At the core of YeshID is an AI Agent that helps with two things:
- AI-Powered Workflow Builder
Just describe what you want—“Onboard a new engineer,” “Deprovision a departing employee,” “Add a contractor for 30 days”—and YeshID builds the workflow for you.
It understands context, systems, and policy, and handles the orchestration automatically. - AI-Powered Integrations
Most identity tools require manual config or SCIM to integrate with apps.
YeshID’s agent can connect to any app with an API. You don’t need to wait for official connectors—just tell the agent what you want to automate, and it will figure it out.
That means you can finally automate identity tasks across the entire SaaS surface area, not just the slice Okta supports.
Why Invest in YeshID Instead of Doubling Down on Workflows?
You could spend the next few months building and debugging flows in Okta Workflows…
Or, you could:
- 💬 Describe the workflow in plain English and let our AI build it
- ⚡️ Automate across tools that don’t support SCIM or SAML
- 🔐 Get real-time visibility into who has access to what, and why
- 📋 Layer access approvals, scheduling, and audits—automatically
It’s faster. Smarter. And way easier to maintain.
TL;DR: Keep Okta (For Now). Add YeshID.
Okta is a solid authentication layer. But YeshID is your AI-native identity platform—built to automate every part of access, from onboarding to deprovisioning to compliance reviews.
We integrate with Okta seamlessly. But over time, we’ll replace the brittle parts:
The workflows. The manual reviews. The access gaps.
So before you spend more money and time building out rigid automations in Okta, invest in something that works with your stack now, and grows beyond it later.
Ready to see what AI-native identity actually feels like?
We’ll have you automating workflows across your entire stack—by the end of the day.
