I'm a developer advocate at Okta, I'll give it a whirl. The TL;DR is that a lot of companies use it to provide SSO to their employees. They log in to their Okta dashboard at company.okta.com, then they can log in to all their apps (0365, Salesforce, Concur, etc.) with a single click. It's like 1Password for the enterprise.

We also provide "Customer Identity", which means you can use our APIs to add authn/authz to your custom-built applications. Then you can provide these apps to your customers and they can register, log in, and use your apps. You don't have to write any auth code. Our APIs support industry standards like SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OIDC.
