We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and One Identity Active Roles 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."The security features, such as attack surface rules and conditional access rules, are the most valuable aspects of Azure AD."
"The solution adds an extra layer of security."
"The single sign-on across multiple platforms is really the true advantage here. That gives you one ID and password for access to all your systems. You don't need to manage a plethora of different user IDs and passwords to all the systems that you're going to access."
"Technical support has been great."
"Single sign-on is the reason we use AD."
"The two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security for our organizational data, so Microsoft Authenticator plays a crucial role in making our confidential data more secure."
"The solution scales well."
"User and device management is the most valuable feature."
"Active Roles improved the management of users, groups, and AD objects in the organization."
"The most valuable features include auditing, dynamic grouping, and creating dynamic groups based on AD attributes."
"The solution is stable."
"Secure access is the most valuable feature."
"In comparison to native Active Directory tools, using Active Roles for delegation is so much better. It uses an access template and that makes it easy to see who can access what. In fact, you can do that for many objects as well."
"Sometimes, the notifications and alerts are not delivered properly, and we end up missing them. Also, the overall graphical user interface needs to be improved."
"One thing that they need to improve is the cost."
"I would like it if Intune could manage MacOS or iOS directly. Right now, we have to use a third-party solution."
"I believe it can also be integrated into other Microsoft products, as well as more integrations with other solutions."
"The price has room for improvement."
"I would like to see Microsoft communicate how they intend to manage legacy applications. Right now, you still have to deploy a hosted domain server (which comes at an extra cost) if you have a legacy application that cannot sync properly with the enterprise applications and the modern applications."
"The synchronization between my AD and Azure AD needs improvement."
"Many of the features are outdated, so the UI and UX could be improved."
"The user and group management in Azure AD could be better. Our focus these days is dynamic sharing with several on-prem Microsoft applications like SharePoint."
"The way you can search groups could be better."
"The initial setup was quite easy, but it was time-consuming. It took about three months."
"The solution needs an attestation process that includes certification and recertification attestation."
"Another issue we have with the product is that we run a lot of custom tasks. You have to program them to run on one particular host and there's no automatic failover to a second host. If that host is down when a task is supposed to run, it has to wait until the next time it runs when that host is up."
