We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and RSA SecurID 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."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."
"Azure Active Directory features have helped improve our security posture. The remote working has been a massive help during the pandemic."
"Microsoft Entra ID's valuable features include integration capabilities, a simplified Active Directory approach, scalability, conditional access, and privileged identity management."
"The tool's most valuable features are security and integration with other tenants."
"Active Directory itself is the best feature it has. It also gives us a single pane of glass for managing user access."
"The central authentication server is most valuable. GPOs are useful for user and computer policies."
"Privileged Identity Management (PIM), managed identities, dynamic groups, and extension and security attributes are all great features."
"Azure Active Directory is a very simple utility to use, it has very good visibility and transparency, and an easy-to-use panel."
"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."
"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."
"One of the most valuable feature is the ID soft token and hard token."
"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The integration between the Azure active directory and the traditional active directory could be improved upon."
"In terms of stability, sometimes the more applications you integrate, the more it becomes a little bit unstable."
"The cost of licensing always has room for improvement."
"Compatibility features for legacy system integration with new features will be challenging at times."
"The documentation could be better."
"When it comes to Azure, creating certain things or getting different resources isn't very clear. You need a certain level of knowledge of the system. It could be a little bit more friendly so that some of the things can be done easily, but after everything is created, it's easy to use."
"The solution has not saved costs. While we’ve eliminated some tools, there are some other features that we are dependent on as admin, which are not yet integrated with Azure AD."
"The support could be better. Lately, they sort of dropped off a bit in terms of quality."
"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."
"Sometimes, we encounter issues with other applications that are not compatible with RSA SecurID Access and require expert troubleshooting. At those times, we need additional support from an implementation perspective. This is an area where Oracle can improve as there is no substitute for reliable and efficient support."
"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."
"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."
