Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 5, 2025

OneLogin and Microsoft Entra ID compete in the identity management and access solutions category. While both have their merits, Microsoft Entra ID seems to have the upper hand, particularly due to its integration capabilities within the Microsoft ecosystem and advanced security features.

Features: OneLogin by One Identity is appreciated for its powerful features like single sign-on, user provisioning, and self-service password resets. Its ease of integration and user-friendly access solutions make it a standout choice for many organizations. Microsoft Entra ID offers comprehensive identity management and security features such as Conditional Access and MFA, along with seamless integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, providing a robust identity service.

Room for Improvement: OneLogin could enhance its offerings with more out-of-the-box connectors, better customization options for UI, and broaden its two-factor authentication features. Improvements in reporting and minor integration issues would also be beneficial. Microsoft Entra ID could benefit from greater support for external authentication solutions, improvements in documentation and user interface, and enhanced integration with third-party applications.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OneLogin is known for its professional customer service and responsive technical support, although some challenges have been noted since its acquisition by One Identity. It is primarily deployed in the public cloud. Microsoft Entra ID offers deployment across various cloud environments with seamless integration within Microsoft ecosystems. It boasts excellent customer service but does encounter periodic support delays and complexities due to frequent rebranding.

Pricing and ROI: OneLogin offers competitive pricing, often considered affordable compared to similar services, contributing to a positive ROI. There have been concerns about unexpected price increases over time. Microsoft Entra ID's pricing aligns with its extensive feature set. While it commands a higher price for advanced security features, the cost is seen as justified by its capabilities, although its complex licensing structures could be a deterrent for some organizations.

The interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview

The cloud-based deployment was straightforward, but the on-prem deployment was in a highly complex ecosystem. Omada has matured since then. I wouldn't say that it isn't straightforward, but it depends on the customer. A standard deployment is relatively easy, but it can be more painful if you need a lot of customization. We deployed the cloud solution in around four months, nearly meeting the 12-week benchmark. The on-prem deployment took three years. It was a highly complex ecosystem that was dependent on other systems. Depending on the size of your environment, you need a product owner and some specialists for maintenance. My last customer was a university with a complex environment. They had around 12 people involved in maintenance at that organization. Typically, it's between 2-5 people.

Has significantly improved secure access to applications and resources in our environment

Microsoft Entra ID has helped by simplifying our management of permissions for APIs. We are not directly exposing credentials, as we use tokens instead. It has made management easier and more secure, especially in a multi-user environment. The implementation of Microsoft Entra ID significantly improved secure access to applications and resources in our environment, primarily through the widespread use of single-sign-on. Managing API permissions became much easier, as application registration often involves calling an API to utilize services without directly exposing credentials, relying instead on token-based authentication. This streamlined approach benefits end-users by simplifying access while remaining transparent to them. Ultimately, my role focuses on ensuring a smooth and user-friendly experience, even if the underlying technology remains unseen by the end-users. Our company strongly emphasizes passwordless authentication, primarily through device-bound passkeys in Microsoft Authenticator. While administrators with high-privileged accounts utilize YubiKeys and passwords for tasks like accessing Microsoft Graph, we are actively transitioning all other users towards passwordless methods such as Windows Hello biometrics. This approach streamlines authentication and enhances security. Though initial deployment in 2022 presented challenges due to hardware limitations and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the technology has significantly improved and provides a simple and effective user experience.

Staff and students can now reset their passwords using their enrolled two-factor device as the authentication mechanism

We've been a OneLogin customer for several years now. While I like the platform, there have been some challenges. A great example is the amount of work needed with that webhook for the enrollment user experience. This functionality is native to some competing products. That's one area where we've leaned on our account rep over the years. They shouldn't rely on the customer to make this experience better. This is one feature request that hasn't been implemented yet. At the same time, they've implemented other features we've requested. One is the ability to use a personal email address as a factor. Initially, they didn't have that. We pushed hard on our account team for about two years before it was finally released. It's a give-and-take. Some of the product's features aren't perfect, but we've had some success pushing fixes to the development team that needs to happen. They've done a decent job. However, there are some fixes that they don't have an interest in. A lot of what I described was before OneLogin was acquired by Quest/One Identity. Things have changed. It doesn't feel like they're driving the product as OneLogin was. It may be because it's a new product to them, and they're still trying to get the lay of the land, process feature requests, etc., but it's not moving as fast as before. We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications. The issues have high visibility. It's gotten better, but it's still there. It raises questions about whether One Identity can support the platform they've acquired. How are they enhancing the product? And how are they supporting the product and the service in the future? Those are two essential questions. There are also lots of nice-to-haves, but that's the case with any product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."

"The most appealing aspect of Omada Identity is its self-service upgrade system."

"We used to have a problem where an employee's access wasn't terminated when they left the company. Now, we have much better visibility into and control over who has access."

"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."

"The Governance and self-service that can be set up so you can use them yourself to work in the system are the most valuable features. End users can be enabled to help themselves."

"As an administrator, we benefit from a lot of functionality that is available out of the box, but it is also configurable to meet our specific needs."

"Surveying is a valuable feature because it allows us to import data and see who has access to what data, for example."

"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."

More Omada Identity pros

"The tool's most valuable features are security and integration with other tenants."

"It has made our work easier in that it’s simplified everything for us."

"The way the laptops are joined is valuable. We can take advantage of that in terms of being able to log in and do things. It is easier to change passwords or set things up."

"It helps with privacy control of identity data. It makes security very easy."

"We're using the whole suite: device management, user credentials, everything that's possible."

"Overall the solution functions very well, such as the ability to access it from the cloud."

"What I like is that I can go anywhere, at any time, and to any client premise, and I can simply log in to the admin panel and can serve any of my clients."

"The ability to speed up ability is an asset."

More Microsoft Entra ID pros

"When it comes to access management, the solution's single pane of glass is extremely important. The single pane of glass for access management enables collaborative work between IT and security. We have access to certain applications that require device trust. Based on the role, we can access those applications through OneLogin Desktop."

"Ease of integration with AD."

"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."

"OneLogin is efficient."

"The solution's ability to save and manage of all my passwords is great."

"The solution allows the user to search logs based on a specific time."

"Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had."

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

More OneLogin by One Identity pros

Cons

"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."

"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."

"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"

"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."

"The security permission inside Omada needs improvement. It's tricky to set up."

"Its flexibility is both a good thing and a bad thing. Because it is very flexible, it also becomes too complex. This is common for most of the products we evaluated. Its scalability should be better. It had a few scalability issues."

"When you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated... all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed."

"Omada Identity has two main issues that need to be solved or improved the most. One is its setup or installation process because it's complex and cumbersome. I'm talking about the process for on-premises deployment because I've never tried the cloud version of Omada Identity. Setting up the cloud version should be much easier. The second area for improvement in Omada Identity is that it's piggybacking on Microsoft's complex way of having all kinds of add-ons, extensions, or setups, whether small or large, such as the new SQL Server, and it's cumbersome to make sure that everything works. Omada Identity is a complex solution and could still be improved."

More Omada Identity cons

"I would like it to be easier to integrate third-party applications."

"On-premise capabilities for information and identity management need improvement."

"Some systems do not integrate very well with Azure AD. We thought of going for Okta, but later on we were able to achieve it, but not the way we wanted. It was not as easy as we thought it would be. The integration was not very seamless."

"Rule management and permissions need improvements. I have had discussions with product managers about these challenges and sent emails regarding them. Additionally, improvements are needed in the Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) side of things."

"The technical support can be confusing - if you're looking for something very specific, it can be hard to get the right answer or a solution."

"The initial setup was complex."

"When it comes to identity governance, the governance features in Azure AD are very focused on Microsoft products. I would like to see those governance and life cycle management features offered for non-Microsoft products connected to Azure AD."

"If Microsoft can give us a way to see where this product is running, from a backend perspective, then it would be great."

More Microsoft Entra ID cons

"We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications."

"I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."

"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."

"The tool must be made more robust."

"This product doesn't necessarily provide us with all of the functionality that we need, such as being able to share passwords with external users."

"The solution keeps going down for many hours, which impacts the entire company. You can't access any applications. OneLogin Desktop has a huge problem where it locks your computers and you need to reset the whole computer, which is pretty insane."

"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers."

"The uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is licensed per managed user per year."

"Omada is expensive."

"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."

"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."

"The pricing is okay."

"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."

"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"If you're on Azure, it can be free or it's incorporated, at no extra cost, or it can become extremely complicated."

"I feel Microsoft is very costly compared to other products. That is also what management is thinking. But when we consider security and support, Microsoft is better than any other product."

"It can be a bit expensive for organizations, but they do have different pricing models. Their free tier can be used on a personal level, but for an organization, the licenses might be a bit expensive. In general, the licenses can become cheaper, which will make it accessible for more people."

"The pricing of Azure Active Directory is competitive. By default, the product exists in almost every Microsoft cloud product. But it then depends on the features that a customer really wants to make use of."

"We are always looking for better pricing."

"If you have a different IDP today, I would take a close look at what your licensing looks like, then reevaluate the licensing that you have with Microsoft 365, and see if you're covered for some of this other stuff. Folks sometimes don't realize that, "Oh, I'm licensed for that service in Azure." This becomes one of those situations where you have the "aha" moment, "Oh, I didn't know we can do that. Alright, let's go down this road." Then, they start to have conversations with Microsoft to see what they can gain. I would recommend that they work closely with their TAM, just to make sure that they are getting the right level of service. They may just not be aware of what is available to them."

"There are four different levels of subscription including the free level, one that includes the Office 365 applications, the Premium 1 (P1) level, and the Premium 2 (P2) level."

"We have a yearly license."

More Microsoft Entra ID pricing and cost advice

"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."

"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."

"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."

"We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."

"The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."

"The price of the licensing is fine."

"It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."
