  • Debugging capabilities limited compared to traditional IDEs
  • No paid support or commercial backing

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
