Devin

  • Requires clear, well-scoped task descriptions; ambiguous requirements reduce effectiveness
  • Requires human oversight and integration into existing workflows; not fully autonomous

Okta

  • Requires $1,500 annual minimum contract
  • Admin-only MFA can be vulnerable to push notification fatigue attacks
  • Implementation requires significant services and integration fees in year one
