Provides strong authentication feature, which requires users to enter a one-time password (OTP)
The main issue I've noticed pertains to setting up the desktop client on virtual machines in Azure, GCP, or AWS, specifically for Entrust Identity Enterprise intended for on-premises use. It works for on-premises, but I'm not sure if it's fully supported in cloud environments. If support were added, it would function perfectly with on-premises configurations. So, it functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP.
Navin Mohinani - PeerSpot reviewer
Have faced inconsistent pricing and a heavy footprint while managing small-scale deployments
We might get good pricing one year, and then the next year there could be significant pricing issues. Integration with ESET EDR_XDR is easy, though we don't integrate it with many products. It is pretty easy to install without any hassles. We use cloud solutions for implementation. ESET EDR_XDR has its own cloud portal where everything is available. Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
