We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and One Identity Defender based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Azure ID are the single sign-on and OpenID Connect authentication."
"The best thing about Active Directory is its compatibility. It works with lots of third-party vendors. We're using multiple products, and they're all integrated with our Active Directory."
"It is cloud based so it is always updated,"
"If you want to replicate a website at the frontend in Azure, it's very easy to do it globally."
"Active Directory itself is the best feature it has. It also gives us a single pane of glass for managing user access."
"The tool's most valuable feature is conditional access."
"The scalability is quite good."
"We can have an audit and we can easily audit logs."
"One Identity Defender has good network protection."
"It's very fast, and it's easy to use because it's integrated with Active Directory."
"We find that the product scales very well."
"It would be good to have more clarity around licensing."
"Lacks integration between applications and phones."
"I want to see new functionalities for the active directory."
"If somebody is using an IdP or an identity solution other than Active Directory, that's where you have to start jumping through some hoops... I don't think the solution is quite as third-party-centric as Okta or Auth0."
"If any service is down, it can affect a whole region. We would need to wait on a ticket and get word from Microsoft to understand the issues. If it takes longer to resolve the issue on Microsoft's side, all we can do is wait for them to fix it."
"Adding a new account can be tricky."
"ESAE management, especially the admin tools, could be improved. It should be built in by the vendor, and I shouldn't have to add patches or updates to connect to my domain directly. It should be added by default. The price could be better."
"Definitely, the price could be lower. When we moved from AWS to Azure, we started paying more."
"The login capabilities could be better."
"Maybe it could provide support for more web applications. It seems more focused on IIS web applications."
"We have some clients that are wanting to protect their Apache web servers with One Identity Defender but all the research I have done says cannot be done. It can only be oriented to an IIS server. One Identity Defender should have more integration with more types of web servers."
