## What the models said about Okta Identity Governance

- "More expensive (~$6+/user/month), but if you're already on Okta for SSO, the governance add-on may be cheaper" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, budget prompt, soft negative)
- "This is not a viable standalone IGA platform, has limited advanced controls compared to dedicated vendors" (Claude Haiku 4.5, negative prompt, soft negative)
- "Limited functionality with non-Okta systems; Complex workflows still require custom coding" (MiniMax M2.5, negative prompt, soft negative)

- "Need modular on-prem/hybrid governance + PAM with phased adoption → One Identity Identity Manager / Active Roles." (Muse Glimmer 30B, direct prompt, alternative)
