Ask HN: Is there still a reason to use Okta for SSO? Okta vs. Google SSO

Is there even a reason to use Okta SSO? Every company actively decides at some point in time how employees shall login to SaaS vendors. The typical answer for early stage companies is Google SSO, whereas later stage companies tend to switch to Okta SSO. In the early SSO days Okta was the best option to get MFA and granular controls. However, nowadays Google is offering 2FA as well. It’s also often the default option with many SaaS vendors and therefore neither requires manually setting up SSO nor requires an enterprise-subscription (see [sso.tax](http://sso.tax) for reference). Therefore, why do you believe people should still use Okta? - Is the biggest reason to use Okta their SCIM-Provisioning, RBAC etc.? - Are there any limitations in Google Workspace that only Okta solves? - Or for the Google folks out there: What’s the reason you are sticking with Google SSO?
