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.

Security focus and seamless implementation increase platform productivity

Microsoft Entra ID can be improved in many ways, and there's a big wish list.If we're focusing on security, something that I definitely expect is improvement in the UI and UX for frontline workers. This is important, especially for non-tech savvy individuals. It is something Microsoft Entra ID could do to improve for a wider audience. It's important to focus on the frontline workers since they are non-tech savvy individuals. They are not like those back-office engineering C-level employees who are constantly dealing with computers, and we need to build a specific user experience and user interface for them to handle this stuff. That's something I expect Microsoft to focus on more for Microsoft Entra ID.

Streamlines access management with top-notch support, and a user-friendly interface, making it a highly effective solution for businesses of all sizes

During my evaluation of various products, one standout feature of OneLogin that impressed me was their mobile app for authentication through push notifications. Unlike traditional methods involving rotating codes, the OneLogin app simplifies the process by sending a push notification asking if the login attempt is legitimate. If confirmed, the login proceeds seamlessly. The primary benefit is its user-friendly interface, making it particularly accessible for non-technical users. One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance. Their sales team has also been highly responsive and helpful in connecting me with necessary resources, although we haven't faced any major challenges.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."

"User-friendly solution."

"What I like most is that we can always find a solution, and we can also find the cause when something goes wrong. I like that the most because everything is in one way or another traceable. That is what I like most. I like its reliability."

"Omada's onboarding features reflect our processes for onboarding new employees well. That is the primary reason we use this solution. We use role-based access control. I'm not sure how much it has improved our security posture, but it's made managing identities more convenient."

"The most valuable aspects of Omada Identity for me are the automation capabilities."

"Two valuable features of Omada Identity are the ability to discover accounts and link them to identities, and the automatic disabling of inactive accounts or identities."

"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."

More Omada Identity pros

"The most valuable feature is the factor identification. I find that it is natural integration, and it is just a natural step. I do not need to do anything else."

"The ability to speed up ability is an asset."

"Microsoft Entra ID scales effectively with the growing needs of our organization, as we have never faced any challenges with its scalability."

"As an end-user, the access to shared resources that I get from using this product is very helpful."

"We have a history of all our authentications and excellent integration with the Microsoft solutions we use at our company. It runs smoothly in Windows and macOS."

"The single sign-on of the solution is the most valuable aspect."

"It is a central point where we provide the cloud lock-in for our company. We focus the multi-factor authentication within Azure AD before jumping to other clouds or software as a service offerings. So, it is the central point when you need to access something for our company within the cloud. You go to Azure AD and can authenticate there, then you move from there to the target destination or the single sign-on."

"The interface is well laid out and it is easy to navigate."

More Microsoft Entra ID pros

"The solution's ability to save and manage of all my passwords is great."

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

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

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

"Ease of integration with AD."

"It's super useful to have a single pane of glass when it comes to access management."

"OneLogin is efficient."

"Documentation."

More OneLogin by One Identity pros

Cons

"Documentation can be improved. I have already filed a few suggestions to make documentation more clear and more representative of reality."

"I would like to see them expand the functionality of the tool to continue to be competitive with the monsters out there. For example, they could add functionality on the authentication side, functionality that Octa and SailPoint have. But they should do that while maintaining the same simplicity that makes Omada a product of choice today."

"When you do a recalculation of an identity, it's hard to understand what was incorrect before you started the recalculation, and which values are actually updated... all you see are all the new fields that are provisioned, instead of seeing only the fields that are changed."

"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."

"The Omada support response time has room for improvement."

"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."

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

"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."

More Omada Identity cons

"When you fix the rules and permissions, working directly on the manifest, you really need to have in-depth knowledge. If there were a graphical user interface to update the manifest, that would be good."

"The initial setup was complex."

"The documentation, and the way that people are notified of updates, are things that can be improved. I'm a big fan of Microsoft products but the way they document is not that great."

"In the compliance area, the granulation of access to storage accounts or Kubernetes could be improved."

"The solution could be cheaper."

"My problem with Azure AD is that it's designed for medium to large systems, and we're not that large."

"Entra ID needs to improve its application credentials and use of ID permissions. There are challenges with the management layer. We want to create access down to the Graph level while invoking some management logic. That also means that if an application comes in, we cannot send that to the Graph because we would need an ID on behalf of the cloud hook."

"If Microsoft can give us a way to see where this product is running, from a backend perspective, then it would be great."

More Microsoft Entra ID cons

"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."

"OneLogin offers a Virtual LDAP feature that we utilize, although it differs slightly from traditional LDAP servers."

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

"They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us."

"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."

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

"OneLogin needs to increase the number of connectors available out of the box to connect to the different endpoints. The number of out-of-box connectors should be increased."

"This product doesn't necessarily provide us with all of the functionality that we need, such as being able to share passwords with external users."

More OneLogin by One Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."

"Omada is expensive."

"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."

"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."

"Omada isn't cheap or expensive. The licensing model is flexible. I've only had limited interactions with the Omada sales team, but they were positive. They don't sell the customers more licenses than they need. It's important to accurately forecast future usage. For example, we have many licenses that we don't use because we don't have the identities yet. We pay extra, which isn't good."

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

"It is licensed per managed user per year."

"It is expensive. Fortunately, I had a very good procurement manager on my side, but they are expensive. The closest competitors are also very expensive. You get a full-fledged solution that can do everything you dream of, but you pay for everything."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"It is bundled with other services and the pricing is quite reasonable."

"Microsoft Authenticator is included in the package when we purchase a license from Microsoft."

"Azure has an educational package available for students with a variety of licenses and different software available."

"We pay an annual subscription fee."

"Microsoft Entra ID service can be quite costly due to its hidden expenses linked to usage."

"I'm not totally aware of the pricing and licensing, but I do know that the pricing and licensing must be quite balanced. We are a pretty old client of Microsoft, and MSA is just one of the services we use from Microsoft. There's a whole Microsoft 365 suite that's implemented as well. I'm sure it is something that is acceptable to both parties."

"The P1 version costs $6 per user per month."

"Compared to other Microsoft products, the cost is not too expensive. There's a free tier available, though it doesn't include all features. Overall, it's well-priced."

More Microsoft Entra ID pricing and cost advice

"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."

"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."

"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."

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

"The price of the licensing is fine."

"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."

"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."
