Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"Payment Terms of Net 60 were able to be achieved"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Okta initially imposed an uplift for renewal. We were going to add ~30 users, and this allowed us to remove the uplift + get slightly better rates than we had last year if we were to also go from a 12 month agreement to a 24 month. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"We explored purchasing through a reseller at renewal to see if this would help secure better pricing, but it did not, so we kept our business direct."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Okta will penalize you for removing even a few users, especially if you're only signing a 12 month renewal. They consider 24 months to be their "standard" term length."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Okta suggested that adding products from their other side of the business (workforce identity) when we were renewing our Auth0 products would help us get more competitive pricing on all products."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"MFA low usage sku is discontinued; the standard Enterprise MAU sku now includes MFA (and they did increase the price to accommodate)."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Growth and longer term contracts and two of the best levers when negotiating Okta"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Basic Success is included on most plans, so consider changing you success plan if the additional availability or attention is not necessary"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"When purchasing Auth0 MAUs, they are sold in set buckets and once you go over your current tier you have to upgrade to the next highest. Okta is usually flexible about this if you're towards the end of your term, but they will require that you renew at the higher tier. The first few tiers/buckets are 1000; 2500; 5000, 7500; 10000; 20000."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"We committed to an early renewal with growth, and then more than doubled our user count a few months later. Okta discounted these additional seats such that our new blended rate was ~13% lower than the initial rate we renewed early with."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Okta will typically keep costs at flat only for a multi-year commitment"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Okta will provide a 27 month term. They are flexible on term length commitment"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Okta's Premium Success Plan is typically 11-13% of TCV"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"At renewal we reduced some users and moved from a 3-year to a 2-year contract, so we weren't successful in removing the uplift. We could have significantly reduced it on another 3-year term, but we wanted to retain more flexibility."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Our Okta renewal had auto-renew on and despite adding a new product, we got hit with a 3% uplift upon renewal."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Okta initially proposed a 7% uplift and a 24 month term for this renewal. We negotiated a flat 12 month renewal, citing unnecessary support costs and the fact that a tool that we don't need is now bundled into the enterprise sku, which increased the unit rate initially."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"CDW adds as many as 15-points onto Okta's standard pricing. In the majority of cases, prospective users are encouraged to consider purchasing direct from the supplier rather than through a VAR for optimal savings."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Committing to a signature by the end of January secured an additional discount."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta will add pricing for additional MAU growth in their special terms if you request it."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta's initial renewal proposal included a 4.5% uplift and a term length increase from 12 months to 24 months. We negotiated this down to a 2% YoY increase, citing our increased term length commitment and competition. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta will not budge on further discounting for a 3 year term commitment after multiple pushbacks"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta only works with annual payments and will not accept or negotiate for quarterly payments. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta was increasing our rates upon renewal. Additionally, Advanced Lifecycle Management and Lifecycle Management & Advanced Sourcing are now retired SKUs and are being replaced with Lifecycle Management and Light Workforce Identity Workflows. We used this change to negotiate a decreased rate, along with referencing how Microsoft is pushing us to consolidate with them. After multiple rounds of back and forth, we were able to get this accomplished."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta responds positively in exchange for multi year terms."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Fuselogic are one of the top implementation partners for Okta in the Netherlands. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We found during our conversations with Okta that the biggest needle movers were growth and term length although final pushes leveraging budget constraints did also seem to have a impact. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We were removing a sku no longer in use at renewal, but are now required to have mandatory premium support which eclipsed much of the expected savings from removing a product. We were able to use this to negotiate better rates and saved 4%."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Our Okta rep has let us know that their is a price increase coming in 2025 but doesn't know the exact rise currently. They are pushing for early renewals as a way to get around this."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta are trying to push companies who spend over 20k to purchase support at renewal. In the end we were able to get this removed in return for a 2 year deal. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta originally proposed ~20% increases across our agreement upon renewal. We were able to leverage our growth of 140% in some areas along with strict budget to push back on the increases. This took a lot of back and forth with Okta but after looping in our executive team and agreeing to a 36 month term we were able to secure ~$130k in savings."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta has changed the Advanced Lifecycle Management Sku/Advanced Sourcing products. You now purchase Lifecycle Management and Workforce Identity Workflows (if needed) separately. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta's support tiers are based on total organizational software spend. For example, if Engineering has an Okta contract with the Cu$tomer Identity Cloud (Auth0 products) and IT/Security has a contract with the Workforce Identity side, both teams/contracts will be on the same support tier and have the same CSM. For this reason, it can be helpful to co-term contracts to have full visibility into support costs, because orgs are required to have Gold support when the exceed $200K in software spend. Gold is charged at 25% of software spend OR $50K minimum; if a company has multiple Okta contracts that add up to over $200K software spend, Okta requires at least one of them to have the $50K minimum applied."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Advanced Lifecycle Management is being sunset. Since Advanced Lifecycle Management included Workflows, Okta is adding Workflows as a new line item for upcoming renewals. There is typically an uplift as a result."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta implements a 3-8% uplift depending on the size of contract. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta will offer a price break in exchange for an early signature on renewals. The signature has to be completed at least 45 days prior to the renewal date to be considered "early signature.""Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta offers an auto renewal program where if you participate in auto renewal, they will automatically waive the uplift fee every year. You have to make any changes to your contract outside of 30 days of the renewal date.
"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"If there’s intended growth in the future, you can add the users to the renewal and get discounting up front for future users."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Account reps have free reign on discounting when adding users/products. If you are not adding any new products/users upon renewal, you will work with the renewals team instead."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Our rep told us Okta has 6 Non-Negotiable Terms on the MSA:
• Termination for Convenience
• Unlimited Liability
• Changes to Security & Privacy Documentation
• Additional Indemnification Obligations
• Acceptance Period"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We negotiated a 5% reduction from the initial renewal proposal for 24 months, citing the higher-than-expected support costs and growth. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"The team was able to secure Net 60 payment terms and discounted pricing of 40% for the Enterprise Premium plan and the Attack Protection plan in exchange for growth of contract, bundling of contracts, and quick movement. Timing of signature important to support the kick off the Attack Protection to the account. The teams did a phenomenal job in communicating and bringing this contract to signature to get this kicked off in time. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Given our long term partnership, and good relationship with our account manager, and signature in October, we were able to obtain better rates than previously on our 36 month renewal, we equated to 10% off our Total Contract Value."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Our request for net 60 payment terms, granted us net 45 from the original net 30"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta included in our renewal agreement that we agree to serve as a reference, participate in a case study, an earnings call, and fulfill other general branding requirements. This wasn’t part of the previous order, but we raised the issue and successfully had it removed from the renewal"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"as part of our renewal evaluation. We requested to see the discounts available for a multi-year offer, even though we decided to remain on an annual contract. The proposed two-year contract included a 6% reduction with no annual increase."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We reduced our MAU rate by over 52% when we increased our commitment from 7.5K to 20K, and upped to a 24 month renewal from a 12 month. We got a good offer from Okta after we upped our volume but were able to negotiate an additional $4K in savings, citing our budget and longer term commitment. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Our request for net 60-day payment terms was denied, but we were accommodated with 45-day terms instead."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We received a 5% discount with no increase year over year for a two-year agreement"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"During our needs assessment, we identified that we required the Okta Silver Premium Success SKU. We successfully added it to our existing contract at a prorated charge and secured the same rate for a 12-month extension of our agreement."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Our initial renewal proposal from Okta positioned a 36 month term (we were coming off of a 24 month term). We were able to reduce the annual spend by ~6% while also going down to a 12 month agreement. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Standard uplift is 3-5% - 60 day early renewal is an easy trade to get this waived"Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta requires a written business justification in order to waive any uplift. They will take how effective the user is at leveraging the tool into account. For example: good usage for MFA typically means all SKUs have the same number of users. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta incentivized us to renew early and upgrade to Adaptive MFA before end of quarter. They offered us stub pricing through the remainder of our contract. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"The minimum MAU quantity you can purchase on Auth0 - Enterprise is 1,000 MAU. Our usage fell quite short of this, so we were able to negotiate a slightly lower rate when we pointed out we could use Cognito for free at our volume."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta has a $100K annual spend threshold for legal redlines. They can change certain aspects outside of this like reference language and governing state. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"At this renewal, we reduced user count by about 7%, but also upgraded from MFA to Adaptive MFA. The initial proposal for a 12 month renewal reflected a 10% uplift on previous skus due to the term length (Okta considers 2 years their 'standard') and the decrease in users. We pushed back on this uplift, citing the upgrade to Adaptive MFA. This, coupled with an early renewal signature by the end of the month prior to our renewal date, resulted in the uplift being entirely removed (we had to go back a few times- at first they just reduced the uplift to 3%)."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We reduced our MAU rate for 150K from the initial renewal proposal of $0.12 to $0.09. This had huge compounding effects because the reduction in software spend allowed us to move from Gold support (charged at 25%) to Silver support (charged at 15%). We accomplished this reduction in part by bumping back up to a 36 month contract when the original quote was for 24 months. We also pushed back firmly on the new mandatory support costs and asked that our rates better account for this increase. All in all, this saved us 27% and almost $250K. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta state that Workflows are mandatory with Lifecycle Management and needs to be a min. of 50. This was difficult to remove but we agreed to discount the over all total contract value and leave the SKU in."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We were able to negotiate savings of $21K on this single year renewal after remaining extremely firm with budget constraints and alluding to competition. Fantastic job in consistent messaging around budget goals and how to get this signed. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We requested net 60 payment terms, but Okta countered with net 45 for a two-year term. Ultimately, we decided to stick with annual net 30 payment terms for a one-year agreement."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"At renewal we needed to decrease user count by 75. It took many rounds of negotiation and internal escalation but we reduced Okta's uplift to 3% on most of our line items from the initial proposed 8% increase."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We upgraded mid-term from advanced lifecycle management to identity governance and also used this conversation to negotiate an early renewal. We used this as an opportunity to rightsize our other user counts and reduce users across the board. We were able to do so and maintain our existing rates because this was a net-positive revenue change for Okta. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We successfully secured an annual payment structure for our multi-year agreement with Okta."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Coming off a multi-year agreement with Okta, we decided against committing to another long-term contract due to internal constraints. We opted for a one-year agreement to evaluate alternatives. By voicing our concerns and budget limitations, we secured the same annual pricing as if we had signed a multi-year agreement."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"During our legal review, Okta informed us that they have a redline threshold of $100,000 total contract value, to entertain red lines. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Okta is now requiring support as part of your pricing (used to be free). Starts off being 25% of your overall contract cost. They will discount success plan from 25% to 15% if you push and ask for it, will either show up as a one time discount or be factored into MAU pricing."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We were able to get our overall per user price down by committing to multiple products and a quick turnaround. We also evaluated 1Password briefly, but found that Okta provided more value for our needs. July is Okta's end of quarter but they were able to pull in the EOQ promo pricing a month early if we could sign early. Our rep was great to work with but had to seek additional approval for this discount as her discount limit was reached."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We uncovered more transparency during our renewal negotiation on how Okta prices Auth0 skus. The Auth0 Enterprise Premium value is also given by the unlimited number of Enterprise Connections that it offers, not just on the MAU consumption. Auth0 Enterprise Premium comes with a list price of $30,550 on the 2500 MAU tier."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We have been using Okta along with AWS Cognito. Cognito has typically been around $0.18 per MAU. Okta overall is a more reliable service and there can be some reliability issues with Cognito once we got to a higher MAU count. We were able to leverage the cost of Cognito to get our rate reduced by Okta from $1.7 to $0.3 per MAU. This is for Auth0. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Initially, Okta imposed a 5% uplift for a 12 month renewal. They offered a flat renewal for a 2-year agreement. We realized our rates were a bit higher than benchmarks, so we negotiated for a 10% decrease on our previous rates in exchange for a 3-year renewal agreement."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We have been using Okta (Auth0) along with their competitor Cognito (AWS product). Our rate for Auth0 was around $1.75 for ~2K MAUs. We leveraged our rate with Cognito (which was around $0.20) to get Okta to bid for all of our MAU usage. Okta came back at $0.45 for 10K MAUs which was essentially the same price that we were originally quoted for 2K. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"During our renewal discussions with Okta, we emphasized our concerns regarding overall pricing and the longevity of our partnership. While we successfully reduced our overall user count from 205 to 180 and maintained our current rate per user, we sought additional savings and explored the possibility of a multi-year agreement. While the offer resulted in a yearly cost reduction of approximately 3%, it did not justify sacrificing our flexibility to explore and evaluate alternatives. Additionally, our request to improve payment terms from net 30 was met with pushback, as Okta does not currently offer alternative payment terms but we were told their stance on payment terms is being evaluated and could possibly change."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We purchase Okta through CDW. At renewal, we needed to reduce about 20 seats, so Okta submitted a 10% uplift on the first renewal quote. After a few attempts, CDW + Okta removed most of the uplift (with the rest covered by CDW) in exchange for a 2-year renewal, paid annually. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"4% discount on TCV given by leveraging a 2 year agreement while removing auto renew."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago

"Achieved a discount on SSO and Universal Directory SKUs."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"By committing to a 24 month agreement on our renewal, we were able to secure 6.5% discount. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"During our Okta renewal process via CDW, we encountered a 10% uplift. Upon expressing our concerns regarding budget allocation and Okta's security breaches, CDW was unable to remove the uplift. Consequently, we opted to engage directly with Okta, where we voiced our concerns, leading to the uplift being removed."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"At the time of our Okta renewal, as we were expanding our user base and introducing a new SKU, we pushed back on the initial proposal while staying within our budgetary constraints. As a result, we obtained an extra discount off the list pricing"Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We were able to get better payment terms and a price cap for our renewal through CDW"Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"During our renewal, we faced a significant decrease in our headcount. With our revised scope, we lost our existing discount and were obliged to pay list pricing."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"During our Okta renewal, we encountered a price hike. Despite pushing back and expressing concerns about recent security breaches, there was minimal movement on price reduction. They proposed a two-year agreement to lower the increase and maintain new pricing year-over-year."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We had to rightsize our contract at renewal due to RIFs, and Okta moved us up to list price as a result. We pushed back on this pretty hard, but they were adamant that with the significant decrease and at our new volume (65 users) there was no discounting available. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We were able to reduce our renewal costs by over 20% by leveraging a 24-month term and hard financial targets. Auto-renew was waived and a price lock was implemented for Y2."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We were able to save 25% on our renewal by leveraging steadfast line item anchoring, 20% YoY growth, and a 3-year commitment. We secured a price lock for all additional years to maintain cost stability for the duration of the agreement."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Okta were able to provide us with a 5 month agreement while we ironed out scope over the next few months. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We were able to remove the auto renew on our order form "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"The supplier offered us slightly discounted pricing on a multi-year term. We were also able to secure Net 45 payment terms. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We secured a 24% discount on this new purchase (12m term), as well as Net 45 payment terms and a 5% uplift cap. We leveraged a signature before their year-end, implied competition, and opportunity for future growth/continue conversations around other products to land here. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"The initial renewal proposal included an 8% uplift, which we successfully removed through pushback on budget allocation and OKTA security concerns. Additionally, by committing to a 24-month contract, we were able to eliminate the uplift and maintain flat pricing year over year"Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago

"We secured a flat per license cost on a 12 month renewal with Okta by leveraging growth during the previous term and EOY signature. Okta was willing provide additional discounts for upfront growth as well."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Due to the supplier's inflexibility on a 24-month proposal, we opted to reduce our proposed volume by over 90% on a 12-month term in order to meet our budgetary needs."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We were able to get Okta to agree to a 2 year agreement instead of the 3 year they said was lowest option. Multi year discount of $15K/year. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"During our renewal process, we utilized and leveraged Vendr's Okta buyer guides, which identified that the pricing quoted was higher than the figures suggested in the guides. pushing back on allocated budget, we successfully negotiated a 10% discount to bring the pricing more in line with Vendr's benchmarks."Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago

"Okta is no longer offering 'light licenses' where users with limited usage needs were priced separately and at a discount.

"Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Was able to negotiate lower rates for a 1 year renewal where seats were reduced from the original renewal offer, but still reflected growth from the prior year. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago

"This was an Auth0 renewal and the customer forecasted 50k additional MAU needed midterm. To secure better rates at the time of renewal, Okta will provide a stub period where the customer maintains the current MAU volume for 4 months (in this case) and then a discounted unit rate at the time of MAU add-on.

"2 insights I think are helpful here.
1) Okta no longer rewards customers for committing to heavy growth in a multi year contract. Per their VP of sales, Okta had some difficult conversations with customers who had lofty growth expectations before the economy took a turn, and they had to restructure and walk customers out of these commitments which lost them money. One of my customers wanted to commit to 1M and 2M MAU's in years 1 and 2, and Okta said no including just the commitment of 1M in years 1 and 2. We negotiated rate tables to use as price protection which I outline below
2) Okta typically held firm on instituting rate tables to support growth. They claim that if they were to institute rate tables, they could only do 2 at a time. I am wrapping up a deal for a customer where we had rate tables inserted for 800K, 900K, 1M, 1.5M, and 2M with rates ranging from $.004-$.0028/MAU "Company with 1-200 employeesA while ago
