This is one of the reasons why Bollin has changed his opinion. Bollin stated that there have also been signs that Okta’s (NASDAQ:OKTA) annual revenue run rate targets are a risk, partners are turning negative, and the company is seeking more competitive “challenges” coming from companies such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Ping Identity Holding, and ForgeRock. Bollin made these statements
