We performed a comparison between LastPass and Microsoft Entra ID 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."Off-boarding of people is easy without changing shared account passwords."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"It is easy to use."
"This product helps keep us secure."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"The most valuable feature for me is being able to pair applications and user permissions."
"Until now, I haven't found anything like the dashboard. It gives you a security score. I find that to be really great. The Sharing Center is really great as well. And the Security Challenge is really great too."
"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."
"It has been stable, and we haven't had any issues since we started to use it."
"It is a very straightforward implementation."
"It's a very scalable solution."
"The way the laptops are joined is valuable. We can take advantage of that in terms of being able to log in and do things. It is easier to change passwords or set things up."
"User and device management is the most valuable feature."
"We have not had any formal issues with scalability."
"I like Azure AD's conditional access policies. Microsoft Entra provides a single pane of glass for managing user access, improving the overall user experience."
"The security and compliance features are very helpful. The online information on the site is well documented."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"We have issues from time to time where, for some reason, it just keeps auto logging-out the user and then, the next day, they'll come in and it will work just fine."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"The biggest thing is there is no good way to have LastPass rotate passwords without human intervention. Right now, we have to go into each folder, then rotate and manually update each password. It can be done it by loading a bunch of passwords into a spreadsheet, but this makes the whole process insecure because then the passwords have been noted into a spreadsheet which have to be upload. We have to go into 40 to 50 applications and manually update passwords, because we don't view their solution of writing a bunch of passwords on a spreadsheet, then uploading them as a secure solution. This should be done internally within LastPass."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"I would like them to improve the dashboard by presenting the raw data in a more visual way for the logs and events. That would help us understand the reports better."
"The synchronization with the local Active Directory and synchronization with all of the users on the local and cloud could be better."
"I think the documentation and configuration are both areas that need improvement."
"The Cloud Provisioning Agent cannot provision a lot of the information that AD Connect does. For starters, the lightweight version cannot synchronize device information. If you have computers on-premises, the information about them will not be synchronized by the Cloud Provisioning Agent. In addition, if you have a user on the cloud and he changes his password, that information should be written back to the on-premises instance. But that workflow cannot be done with the lightweight agent. It can only be done with the more robust version."
"The downside is that we now have all our eggs in one basket with Microsoft. We have this great authentication and single sign-on, but if Microsoft has an outage in North America or globally, on Outlook or Teams, we're dead in the water... We get some type of hiccup once a quarter."
"I think the solution can improve by making the consumption of that data easier for our customers."
"In terms of connecting the web application, there is technology for single sign-on. When we use it, the solution opens very slowly. It might be a bandwidth issue, and some content will not work on that portal."
"The product takes at least ten minutes to activate privilege identity management roles."
