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."The most important things of Azure Active Directory are the security and the facility to manage all the services and users. It is very easy to manage users and assign roles, permissions, and access. At the same time, it is a very secure environment. Microsoft takes security very seriously. They take care of all the security and all the factors to prevent any kind of data or information compromise."
"Microsoft Azure AD is easy to install and is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features in Active Directory are the password writeback product and the MDM technology."
"The security features are great. They will report in advance to you in the case of suspicious activity."
"Active Directory itself is the best feature it has. It also gives us a single pane of glass for managing user access."
"The most valuable features of Azure ID are the single sign-on and OpenID Connect authentication."
"The features around permissions are excellent."
"What I like is that I can go anywhere, at any time, and to any client premise, and I can simply log in to the admin panel and can serve any of my clients."
"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."
"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."
"Be aware that it may not work perfectly globally yet. There are still glitches with the solution in Africa."
"The robustness of the conditional access feature of the zero trust strategy to verify users is adequate but not comprehensive."
"It would be good to have more clarity around licensing."
"The solution was difficult to scale because the group's configuration was complex. I would rate the scalability level of Azure Active Directory a five out of ten."
"Its price should be improved. It is very expensive for Turkish people."
"The pricing is okay, however, it could always be better in the future."
"Our users sometimes experience issues from having multiple Microsoft accounts, which can cause some confusion and hassle."
"I would like to see a better delegation of access. For instance, we want to allow different groups within the company to manage different elements of Azure AD, but I need more granularity in delegating access."
"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."
"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."
"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."
"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."
