Bahram Piri - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Efficiently manage applications with secure single sign-on and streamlined operations
Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access. Its ability to consolidate applications on a single interface streamlines operations significantly. The product is highly secure and reliable, especially in managing user access across various platforms. Multi-factor authentication enhances security by requiring additional verification steps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The single sign-on is very convenient for us."
"The user management groups are valuable. It is a pretty basic product, but user management, in general, is valuable with the ability to differentiate between business lines and add different policies, group-based management, and dynamic user groups."
"Overall, I think the support and the pictorial format of this web portal are very good."
"Personally, I'm a great fan of Azure Active Directory due to the security and compliance features that are there in the classic or default Azure Active Directory."
"Customer service and technical support for Microsoft Entra ID are very good because I open many tickets with the support and get straight answers."
"The most valuable feature is the conditional access policies. This gives us the ability to restrict who can access which applications or the portal in specific ways."
"It has been stable, and we haven't had any issues since we started to use it."
"It's a very scalable solution."
"I rate Oracle Access Manager a nine out of ten."
"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."
"The product supports customization."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"In general, the customization that is offered is very good. The company that I am working with currently is using this feature quite extensively."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"The MFA is the most valuable aspect."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
 

Cons

"The Azure AD Application Proxy, which helps you publish applications in a secure way, has room for improvement. We are moving from another solution into the Application Proxy and it's quite detailed. Depending on the role you're signing in as, you can end up at different websites, which wasn't an issue with our old solution."
"Sometimes, level-one support lacks the immediate information needed, causing delays in receiving appropriate support."
"I would like to see some additional attributes for user objects in Microsoft Entra, especially for tasks such as users and account validation, including guest users and guest accounts."
"One thing that they need to improve is the cost."
"Entra ID has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions like iOS or Ubuntu. If it worked across different software and all kinds of devices could be managed under it, that would be great."
"The ease of use regarding finding audit information for users could also be improved."
"The initial setup was complex."
"There are no specific areas where improvement is needed at the moment. Everything has been good so far."
"There are problems with stability."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"The mobile access to the solution isn't ideal. They should work to improve its functionality."
"The user interface is a bit complicated and could be made more lightweight. Simplifying the installation process, perhaps through a VDAR-based installation, would also be beneficial."
"Installation and deployment take time, but implementation is straightforward and easy, and they have very good support."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"The performance of Oracle Access Manager could be improved. It should be quick to install, but it wasn't, so this is another area for improvement. The Oracle Access Manager console also has room for improvement because it's slow."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis and the cost depends on the number of users."
"The pricing for companies and businesses is okay, it's fair. But if you are trying to teach someone about Azure AD, there is no licensing option for that... It would be nice to have a 'learning' license, one that is cheaper for a single person."
"I'm not sure about the specific costs or how they're calculated, but essentially, the costs go up based on the level of security that is required by the organization."
"Pricing-wise, they offer a stepladder approach. You can start with the lowest level features, then start increasing based on new requirements."
"The solution costs us 60,000 Rupees annually, just over $700, and there are no additional costs."
"We have various levels of their licensing, which includes users on different levels of their enterprise offering."
"The licensing model makes it difficult to understand the real cost of the solution, especially because it changes all the time."
"Its price is per user. It is also based on the type of user that you're synchronizing up there."
"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The tool is affordable."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
