Executive SummaryUpdated on Apr 6, 2025

OneLogin by One Identity and Microsoft Entra ID compete in the identity management category. Microsoft Entra ID seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive security features and integration with Microsoft services.

Features: OneLogin is known for ease of use and diverse integrations, which simplify business processes. Key features include two-factor authentication, efficient log analysis, and seamless onboarding and offboarding processes. Microsoft Entra ID stands out with comprehensive security features, supporting both Microsoft and third-party applications. Highlighted features include robust conditional access policies, multifactor authentication, and seamless integration with Microsoft's suite of services.

Room for Improvement: OneLogin users mention integration and support issues post-acquisition, with slower feature adoption needing attention. Enhancing platform stability and integration is essential. Microsoft Entra ID is noted for complexity and high resource demands, with users seeking better cross-platform integration and improved documentation. Simplified user interface and support for non-Microsoft applications could enhance user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OneLogin is easy to deploy, benefiting from its cloud-based setup, though post-acquisition support has faced delays. Microsoft Entra ID operates on a hybrid model, integrating cloud and on-premises deployments. Its customer service is responsive but reliant on broader Microsoft service changes. While OneLogin initially had better support, Microsoft Entra ID's system is robust, especially for Microsoft-embedded organizations.

Pricing and ROI: OneLogin's pricing has seen inconsistencies, raising concerns for customers despite offering good value through cost optimization. It’s considered affordable for smaller setups. Microsoft Entra ID offers predictable licensing, often bundled within Microsoft service agreements, making it broadly affordable but costs can increase for advanced features. It's favored for its comprehensive suite integration and reliability, particularly within large enterprises.

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

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

"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is that it is Microsoft-based and it supports all Microsoft technology."

"The most relevant feature is Omada's reporting engine. Omada never 'forgets' and archives every process. All steps an admin, user, or manager has executed, are recorded in Omada."

"Support-wise, working with Omada has been good. We have very good direct interactions and fast responses."

"The most valuable feature in Omada is the governance. We work with other products and other product vendors, but the sweet spot in the market for Omada is where things are heavy on governance."

"I appreciate all the support we receive from Omada."

"When we started with identity and access management, we cleaned up and skipped 500 accounts. Therefore, there are a lot of people who are still in our system. Using this tool, we have cleaned up a lot of accounts for ourselves as well as our partners and suppliers. So, we can manage everything now."

More Omada Identity pros

"The most valuable feature is the ease of scalability."

"The features I find most valuable are conditional access, privilege management, and dynamic groups."

"The benefits of using this solution were realized straightaway."

"The product is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is Conditional Access, and we use it extensively."

"After implementing Microsoft Entra ID, secure access to apps has become seamless."

"The scalability of the product is decent."

"It is cloud based so it is always updated,"

More Microsoft Entra ID pros

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

"OneLogin is efficient."

"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."

"Documentation."

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

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

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

"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."

More OneLogin by One Identity pros

Cons

"The backend is pretty good but the self-service request access screen, the GUI, needs improvement. It's an old-fashioned screen. Also, Omada has reports, but I wouldn't dare show them to the business because they look like they're from 1995. I know they are working on these things and that’s good, because they’re really needed."

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

"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."

"The Omada Identity SaaS version doesn't provide all the features Omada Identity on-premise provides."

"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."

"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."

"The reporting and importing have room for improvement."

"Functionality and usability could be improved."

More Omada Identity cons

"Something that I definitely expect is improvement in the UI and UX for frontline workers, especially for non-tech savvy individuals."

"There is a concept of cross-tenant trust relationships, which I believe Microsoft is actively pursuing. That is something which in the coming days and years to come by will be very key to the success of Azure Active Directory, because many organizations are going into mergers and acquisitions or spinning off new companies. They will still have to access the old tenant information because of multiple legal reasons, compliance reasons, and all those things. So, there should be some level of tenant-level trust functionality, where you can bring people from other tenants to access some part of your tenant application. So, that is an area which is growing. I believe Microsoft is actively pursuing this, and it will be an interesting piece."

"Having more training would be quite helpful."

"Microsoft Entra ID could benefit from more fine-tuned rights. It is necessary to prevent granting an application or user broad access rights."

"The scalability of the solution is good."

"There are some features, where if you want to access them, then you need to make use of PowerShell. If someone is not really versed in PowerShell scripting, then they would definitely have issues using some of those features in Azure Active Directory."

"Microsoft's pricing and licensing are difficult to understand. We engage with Microsoft partners regularly, but Microsoft's frequent rebranding complicates the process for us in the industry."

"Azure AD does not support legacy authentication protocols, such as NTLM or Kerberos."

More Microsoft Entra ID cons

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

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

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

"I would like better reporting from SmartFactor Authentication when a user is not able to sign in due to a new location, new IP, new device, et cetera."

"More off-hour support."

"To offboard, you have to manually click on this checklist, each of the checkmarks. It would actually be really nice if, for offboarding someone, you just click "offboard" and it automatically runs a script to do that."

"having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."

"The tool must be made more robust."

More OneLogin by One Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."

"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."

"It's a fair price for the on-premises system. Compared with what we had before, it's much cheaper and we get all the modules in one. We tried to go with the cloud, but it was far too 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 offers a reasonable price point, but it will increase as we transition to the cloud."

"Omada is expensive."

"My client deals directly with the Omada Identity team in terms of licensing. I never look at pricing, so I'm not aware of how much the solution costs, but it's worth the money. Often, when you begin to use Omada Identity and it takes a while to set up, it'll be irreversible, and you'd depend on and focus more on the functionality of the solution, rather than its price tag."

"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"I give the cost a three out of ten."

"Azure AD has four licensing options- Free, Office 365 apps, Premium P1, and Premium P2. The free option has a limited number of identities and features, and the Office 365 version comes included in several Office 365 subscriptions. With the P1 and P2 licenses, we get all the freeware features plus additional security features, but these come at a higher price. The base price for P1 and P2 is $6 and $9 per user per month, respectively."

"From a pricing standpoint, with all the services that we get, we are okay. I do not see a problem with the pricing structure. We are getting our money's worth."

"It is a really nice tool and we have a license for the more complex model."

"I'd recommend Azure Active Directory if you are a big company. For small or medium companies, it's probably not the best idea in the world because of the pricing. If you are a small company, you can probably deploy your own solutions because you're not handling a website with tons of traffic. If you are not like Adidas, Nike, or Walmart, you can do it in a way that is more localized than handling everything through a big price solution. However, Azure tends to provide you with solutions that are easier to use. If it was cheaper, I'd definitely recommend going for it."

"The cost of Azure AD is one of the biggest benefits, as it is available for use free of charge when you start with Office 365."

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

"Microsoft has a free version of Azure AD. So, if you don't do a lot of advanced features, then you can use the free version, which is no cost at all because it is underpinning Office 365. Because Microsoft gives it to you as a SaaS, so there are no infrastructure costs whatsoever that you need to incur. If you use the free version, then it is free. If you use the advanced features (that we use), it is a license fee per user."

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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
