We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and WSO2 Identity Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can centralize and manage everything much more effectively with this tool."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID is its security options, where we can provide highly effective security for user accounts during authentication."
"It's something we have to deal with every day. It is present. If you're in a domain environment, you'll need it to log in. If you work in a Microsoft-centric environment, you can't avoid it."
"It's very good at not disrupting the user experience."
"I primarily use this solution for hybrid deployment, security, securing resources and for integration purposes. In terms of security, we have been using the B2B/B2C hybrid integration with the certificate authentication."
"It is a very straightforward implementation."
"This solution serves as the basis to understand the MS SSO and MFA capabilities."
"It enhances security, especially for unregistered devices. It 1000% has security features that help to improve our security posture. It could be irritating at times, but improving the security posture is exactly what the Authenticator app does."
"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."
"Comprehensive ecosystem."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"It's very easy to implement everything."
"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."
"When we add some user groups, at times they will not be properly configured. Also, sometimes Azure AD is not aware of the group policy, like the control, device functions, and settings, in detail. For example, you cannot configure these settings through mobile devices. It doesn't provide the flexibility to do that. The other challenge is that a third-party application may provide access without authorization."
"The integration between the Azure active directory and the traditional active directory could be improved upon."
"Reading documentation could be simplified. Technical support could also be faster."
"At the free or basic level of service, Azure should provide identity protection features including single sign-on and multifactor authentication."
"The most challenging aspect I found was the creation of organizational units and specific domains. They have a tool called Bastion, which is expensive and a little bit confusing."
"An area where there is room for improvement is the ease of use of the dashboards."
"Azure AD needs to be more in sync. The synchronization can be time-consuming."
"Microsoft Entra ID should improve workload identities. It should set conditional access."
"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
"The high availability architecture has to be improved."
"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."
