We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and Tools4ever HelloID based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The most valuable features of this solution are definitely the authorization and authentication, and the rule-based user validation."
"Let's say we decide that our users need to have MFA, multi-factor authentication. It is very easy to implement that with Azure Active Directory."
"Coming from a traditional on-premises Active Directory infrastructure, it is purely a SaaS platform. It is global. It is evergreen. It is always evolving. It is core to the Microsoft Ecosystem."
"It's very easy to run and it's part of their ecosystem and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon."
"It helps with privacy control of identity data. It makes security very easy."
"The cloud security part is very valuable. Security is the most important thing in today's world. With Azure Active Directory, there are some features that tell you how you need to improve your security level. It informs you if you set up certain policies, e.g., this is where my users sign in. It tends to let you know if your organization has been breached with this security set up. Therefore, it is easier to know when you have been breached, especially if you set up a Conditional Access policy for your organization."
"Azure Active Directory features have helped improve our security posture. The remote working has been a massive help during the pandemic."
"The performance is good."
"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."
"You don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
"Certain aspects of the user interface can be rather clunky and slow. It can sometimes be circular in terms of clicking a link for a risky user sign-in and seeing what the risky login attempts were. It takes you in a circle back to where you started, so drilling down into details, especially if you are not in it every day and it is one of many tools that you use, can be difficult. It can be difficult to track down the source of an issue."
"Microsoft should work on enhancing its machine-learning algorithm to prevent unnecessary lockouts of users."
"Definitely, the price could be lower. When we moved from AWS to Azure, we started paying more."
"I haven't had any issues with the product."
"The cost of licensing always has room for improvement."
"The integration between the Azure active directory and the traditional active directory could be improved upon."
"At the free or basic level of service, Azure should provide identity protection features including single sign-on and multifactor authentication."
"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."
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."
