Evidian Enterprise SSO vs Microsoft Active Directory comparison

Evidian Enterprise SSO replaces user passwords with a single authentication such as a password, biometrics, a smartcard or a radio badge. Access is immediate, whether the applications are internal or external to the company. The result for users is simplified access to their applications – they automatically comply with the security policy. And by removing tiresome administration tasks, Evidian Enterprise SSO simplifies information system management.

Active Directory stores information about objects on the network and makes this information easy for administrators and users to find and use. Active Directory uses a structured data store as the basis for a logical, hierarchical organization of directory information.

This data store, also known as the directory, contains information about Active Directory objects. These objects typically include shared resources such as servers, volumes, printers, and the network user and computer accounts.

Security is integrated with Active Directory through logon authentication and access control to objects in the directory. With a single network logon, administrators can manage directory data and organization throughout their network, and authorized network users can access resources anywhere on the network. Policy-based administration eases the management of even the most complex network.
