About Okta, Inc.
About Okta, Inc.
Okta's two cloud identity platforms—the Okta Platform for workforce identity and the Auth0 Platform for customer identity—served more than 20,000 customers globally as of January 31, 2026, including 5,100 with annual contract values above $100,000. International revenue represented 20% of total revenue in fiscal 2026, roughly flat with 21% in fiscal 2025, with operations spanning the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. The Okta Integration Network contained over 7,000 integrations with cloud, mobile, and web applications, and the company names Microsoft as its principal competitor in the workforce and customer identity market.
Okta generates revenue from multi-year SaaS subscriptions to the Okta Platform (workforce identity: single sign-on, adaptive MFA, identity governance, lifecycle management, privileged access) and the Auth0 Platform (customer identity: developer-embedded universal login, attack protection, fine-grained authorization). Subscriptions are sold directly through field and inside sales teams and indirectly through cloud marketplaces, resellers, system integrators, and other distribution partners. The primary growth mechanism is a land-and-expand model: existing customers add user seats, adopt additional modules, or migrate between platforms. Microsoft is Okta's principal competitor; the 10-K notes that Microsoft and other large competitors can bundle identity features into broader software suites or price at zero or negative margins to discourage customers from adopting Okta's solutions. International expansion subjects the company to data privacy regime compliance, trade restriction risk, and staffing complexity across multiple regions.
Show full overview
Okta explicitly names Microsoft as its principal competitor across both workforce and customer identity markets, with the 10-K acknowledging that larger competitors possess significantly greater financial, technical, and sales resources and can maintain closed technology platforms or price below cost to displace Okta. International revenue has held at 20-21% of total revenue across fiscal 2025 and 2026 despite the company's stated ambition to grow internationally, suggesting that data privacy compliance burdens, locally embedded competitors, and management complexity may limit the pace of share gains outside the United States.
