Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 13, 2025

OneLogin by One Identity and Microsoft Entra ID compete in the identity and access management category. Microsoft Entra ID has an upper hand with its strong integration capabilities within Microsoft's ecosystem, providing a seamless identity management experience for both on-premises and cloud environments.

Features: OneLogin by One Identity is recognized for its ease of onboarding, centralized management, and integration capabilities, offering a streamlined experience for desktop SSO, multifactor authentication, and user role creation. Microsoft Entra ID is highly integrated with Microsoft’s products, offering strong multifactor authentication and conditional access policies, which benefit both on-premises and cloud deployments.

Room for Improvement: OneLogin by One Identity can improve its support and reporting functionalities, with users needing better user management interfaces and more reliable connector options.

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.

Security focus and seamless implementation increase platform productivity

Microsoft Entra ID can be improved in many ways, and there's a big wish list.If we're focusing on security, something that I definitely expect is improvement in the UI and UX for frontline workers. This is important, especially for non-tech savvy individuals. It is something Microsoft Entra ID could do to improve for a wider audience. It's important to focus on the frontline workers since they are non-tech savvy individuals. They are not like those back-office engineering C-level employees who are constantly dealing with computers, and we need to build a specific user experience and user interface for them to handle this stuff. That's something I expect Microsoft to focus on more for Microsoft Entra ID.

Streamlines access management with top-notch support, and a user-friendly interface, making it a highly effective solution for businesses of all sizes

During my evaluation of various products, one standout feature of OneLogin that impressed me was their mobile app for authentication through push notifications. Unlike traditional methods involving rotating codes, the OneLogin app simplifies the process by sending a push notification asking if the login attempt is legitimate. If confirmed, the login proceeds seamlessly. The primary benefit is its user-friendly interface, making it particularly accessible for non-technical users. One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance. Their sales team has also been highly responsive and helpful in connecting me with necessary resources, although we haven't faced any major challenges.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"I'm not using Omada, but the interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview of your identities."

"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."

"Our customers have benefited from Omada Identity automating the certification process. Most of our customers were using manual methods for user access certification. With Omada Identity, you can automate almost all of it, which means that certification now becomes on demand. You don't have to wait for two or three months to execute a certification timeframe. Instead, you can do certifications as often as you want."

"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."

"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."

"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."

"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to set up connectors to various IT systems and offer a wide range of supported connectors."

More Omada Identity pros

"Having worked as an IT consultant mainly with the Microsoft stack across various industries, I have experience with different identity management solutions. Microsoft Entra ID remains the best option."

"Microsoft customer service is the best in the industry."

"Entra ID's ability to sync with the local Active Directory provides redundancy, allowing authentication via cloud features even if the local Active Directory faces issues. The SSO features with app registrations are also crucial, as we use Azure globally, allowing role and permission assignments directly from Entra."

"It offers good Microsoft integration capabilities."

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

"If a company has hundreds of users that already exist in the cloud, and it now wants to enable those same users to be present in third-party applications that their business uses, like Atlassian or GoToMeeting, the provisioning technology can assist in achieving that."

"We can have an audit and we can easily audit logs."

"The most important things of Azure Active Directory are the security and the facility to manage all the services and users. It is very easy to manage users and assign roles, permissions, and access. At the same time, it is a very secure environment. Microsoft takes security very seriously. They take care of all the security and all the factors to prevent any kind of data or information compromise."

More Microsoft Entra ID pros

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

"One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance."

"Ease of integration with AD."

"The single sign-on and the fact that we can integrate everything in one place and control from there were valuable features of this solution."

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

"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."

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

"The directory integration and SCIM provisioning are probably the best features compared to competitors."

More OneLogin by One Identity pros

Cons

"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."

"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."

"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience."

"They need to improve the cost for small companies."

"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."

"There's a challenge with handling large amounts of data in this system."

"If you're running Omada on a cloud service, you may have some issues deploying the newest release. Sometimes, the latest release doesn't adapt to the processes we have already installed. Identity Access Management is a critical system for our organization, and we need to ensure that everyone has the same access as they did before the release."

"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."

More Omada Identity cons

"We have experienced some downtime because of the use of the data centers."

"Microsoft Entra ID should improve workload identities. It should set conditional access."

"I suggest improving the connector part. For technical users like me, it is manageable, but having comprehensive documentation for those who aren't familiar with the system would be beneficial."

"From time to time it takes a little bit of time to replicate, with some of the applications—something like five to 10 minutes. I know that the design is not supposed to enable real-time replication with some of the applications. But, as an administrator, I would like to run a specific change or modification in Azure Active Directory and see it replicated almost immediately."

"The ease of use regarding finding audit information for users could also be improved."

"The solution could be improved when it comes to monitoring and logging as these are the most critical areas in case something was to go wrong."

"We would like to have more granularity in the Azure conditional access in order to be able to manage more groups for devices and for applications."

"The technical support has its downsides and upsides. While they are fast, it can take time to get the right person because there are many steps to reach the appropriate team member at Microsoft support, which can be somewhat annoying."

More Microsoft Entra ID cons

"They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us."

"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."

"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."

"More off-hour support."

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

"While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations."

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

"The tool must be made more robust."

More OneLogin by One Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada is expensive."

"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."

"It is licensed per managed user per year."

"It is not cheap. It is expensive, but compared to what we did almost three years ago, it is value for money. It is worth it."

"The initial total cost of ownership to implement Omada Identity is not small. The TCO for the implementation is as high as any other solution. However, the cost of maintaining the solution is at par or lower than competitors, including adding more features or maintaining the system after the initial deployment or installation to make sure that they are available for users to use or extending the functionalities of those activities. Those maintenance costs are lower than other vendors, but the initial cost of getting the system installed is still high."

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

"Being Dutch, I can only say that it is extremely expensive, but all software products are expensive. If you have 38,000 users, then even one dollar or one euro per person would amount to a significant amount of money. Because of the high number of users, anything gets expensive very fast here."

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

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"I think the pricing is efficient, but the licensing is overly complicated and difficult to understand. There are many tricks in the licensing that weigh against us."

"Microsoft Entra ID's pricing is reasonable."

"The solution has three types of tiers: E1 has very basic features. You get limited stuff in E2 and cannot have Office 360 associated with it. E3 is on the costly side and has all the features."

"We pay a yearly license. Licenses are very expensive."

"The E5 plan we are using contains the premium plans for Azure Active Directory. We are not paying only for the Azure Active Directory Premium licenses. We have it already included within our E5 plan."

"Licensing is easy."

"Licenses are based on the usage. There is no cap. It's based on the number of users we provision."

"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."

More Microsoft Entra ID pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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 price of the licensing is fine."
