Few things:
- Okta is more enterprisey and complicated and works if you are a large company. It has now become one of those tools where "no one gets fired for buying IBM" analogy can be applied. CIos can justify Okta much faster than Google Workspace.
- Google Workspace is simpler but may lack some granular controls that Okta provides.
