We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and Oracle Access Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Active Directory itself is the best feature it has. It also gives us a single pane of glass for managing user access."
"Azure Active Directory provides us with identity-based authentication, which secures access at the user level and also integrates with conditional access policies and multi-factor authentication helping to increase the identity security for that person. So, the hacking and leaking of passwords is a secondary problem because you will not authenticate a person with one factor. There is a second factor of authentication available to increase the security premise for your company."
"As an end-user, the access to shared resources that I get from using this product is very helpful."
"Conditional access is a very important feature where a specific user can be restricted such that they cannot connect to the application if they travel outside of the US."
"The single sign-on of the solution is the most valuable aspect."
"Application integration is easy. MFA and password self-service have reduced most of the supportive work of IT. We use multi-factor authentication. Every access from a user is through multi-factor authentication. There is no legacy authentication. We have blocked legacy authentication methods. For people who use the MDM on mobile, we push our application through Intune. In a hybrid environment, users can work from anywhere. With Intune, we can push policies and secure the data."
"It also has features that help improve security posture. The most important of these features include multifactor authentication, which is very useful for connecting to the organization, especially from outside the boundaries of the organization. That is very helpful when it comes to user security."
"The valuable features I use daily are enterprise application, conditional access, identity governance, password monitoring, and a password reset."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Access Manager are the single sign-on capability and is a very robust platform. It can take a high number of authentication, and authorization requests. It's very flexible."
"My company has used most features of Oracle Access Manager for various implementations, but the most helpful feature of the solution for the business and customers is single sign-on."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"The product supports customization."
"Sometimes, what one customer may like, another may not like it. We have had customers asking, "Why is Microsoft forcing us to do this?" For example, when you use Exchange Server on-premise, then you can customize it for your company and these customizations are unlimited. However, if you use Exchange Online or with Microsoft 365, then your ability to make modifications is limited. So, only the cloud versus is limited."
"They have had a few outages, so stability is a little bit of an issue. It is global. That is the thing. I know some of the other competitors are regionalized ID platforms, but Entra ID is global, so when something goes wrong, it is a problem because it underpins everything, whether you are logging in to M365 or you have single sign-on to Azure, Autopilot, Intune, Exchange mailbox or another application. If there is a problem with Entra ID, all of that falls apart, so its great strength and weakness is the global single tenant for it. Stability is a key area for me. Otherwise, it is generally pretty good."
"My only pain point in this solution is creating group membership for devices."
"We previously used Microsoft's technical support, which was excellent; they were very responsive. Now, we use a CSP, and their support is lacking, so I rate them five out of ten."
"The security policy of Azure Active Directory should be based on a matrix so that we can easily visualize which users have access to what."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. The price plays a factor in the rating."
"From time to time it takes a little bit of time to replicate, with some of the applications—something like five to 10 minutes. I know that the design is not supposed to enable real-time replication with some of the applications. But, as an administrator, I would like to run a specific change or modification in Azure Active Directory and see it replicated almost immediately."
"The pricing is okay, however, it could always be better in the future."
"In the next release, they should focus more on use cases related to customer access management, customer identity, and access management."
"The technical support is not very good at all."
"The pricing of the solution is in need of improvement. Oracle products are very expensive."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
