We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and UserLock based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the ease with which a person can log in remotely using only a password or pin without creating a profile or policy."
"All of the features are amazing, such as identity governance and privileged identity management."
"The scalability is quite good."
"The scalability of the product is decent."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to deploy and make changes to every workstation that I need to. We use it to control policy and I can apply the right policies to all our 1,500 workstations, notebooks, et cetera."
"It enhanced our end user experience quite a bit. Instead of the days of having to contact the service desk with challenges for choosing their password, users can go in and do it themselves locally, regardless of where they are in the world. This has certainly made it a better experience accessing their applications. Previously, a lot of times, they had to remember multiple usernames and passwords for different systems. This solution brings it all together, using a single sign-on experience."
"Privileged Identity Management (PIM), managed identities, dynamic groups, and extension and security attributes are all great features."
"Microsoft Authenticator is highly secure."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"The most challenging aspect I found was the creation of organizational units and specific domains. They have a tool called Bastion, which is expensive and a little bit confusing."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to monitoring and logging as these are the most critical areas in case something was to go wrong."
"Better integration with external governance products would be a welcome addition to Azure AD."
"Lacks integration between applications and phones."
"My only pain point in this solution is creating group membership for devices."
"We would like to see more system updates."
"Generally, everything works pretty well, but sometimes, Azure Active Directory has outages on the Microsoft side of things. These outages really have a very big impact on the users, applications, and everything else because they are closely tied to the Azure AD ecosystem. So, whenever there is an outage, it is really difficult because all things start failing. This happens very rarely, but when it happens, there is a big impact."
"The documentation could be better."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
