Competition Weighs on Pipeline

Intensified competition from Microsoft has hurt Okta’s FY1Q23 win rates and pipelines for the next three months, and reputational damage from the Lapsus$ breach has dampened partners’ CY2022 growth expectations.

  • OKTA’s FY1Q23 sales at least in line with expectations for 13 of 15 channel partners (vs. 12 of 17 in FY4Q22); ambitious February pipeline expectations failed to materialize into closed deals
  • Pipelines for next 3 months better than expectations for just 2 of 15 partners (deterioration vs. 8 of 17 in February); 5 of 15 lowered CY2022 outlook vs. February estimates
  • OKTA’s FY1Q23 win rates deteriorating qq for 6 of 15 partners (vs. 4 of 17 in FY4Q22); frequency of competitive deals increasing vs. 6 months ago for 6 of 15; MSFT threat continues to intensify
  • Area to Watch: Auth0 capturing customer interest, but ambiguity around Auth0 integration with OKTA’s CIAM remains concern
