Okta is a start up on the cloud management. I believe that it has selected a right entry point to the market, the Identity as Service market to aim at small and big enterprise. Big Identity and Access Management (IAM) companies such as IBM, Oracle, Novell, and Microsoft just did not get the IAM right for the cloud yet. CA may be closer to what the cloud computing needs for IAM, but it still carried lot of legacy code and burden in its offering. So, I would bet Okta success in this market. Especially Ben Horowitz who was co-founder of Loudcloud and sold it to HP for 1.6 Billion to HP. So, I believe that Okta is on the mission to remove the pains for the Cloud Consumer in terms of identity and other management issues.
