Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Having access to Azure Active Directory on the cloud gives us speed and use of the latest technology. The application services are very good, such as GitHub."
"The boards for task tracking are a valuable feature."
"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."
"It has been very instrumental towards a lot of services we run, especially on the single sign-on side. For example, we have 160 countries that all run their own IT but we still are able to provide users with a single sign-on experience towards global applications. So, they have a certain set of accounts that they get from their local IT department, then they use exactly the same account and credentials to sign into global services. For the user, it has been quite instrumental in that space. It is about efficiency, but also about users not having to remember multiple accounts and passwords since it is all single sign-on. Therefore, the single sign-on experience for us has been the most instrumental for the end user experience."
"I like Entra's ability to integrate the Active Directory with third-party solutions. It's straightforward. I like the ability to define third-party systems and make the AD the primary identity provider."
"The security features, multi-factor authentication, and service management features are valuable."
"It has made our work easier in that it’s simplified everything for us."
"The valuable features I use daily are enterprise application, conditional access, identity governance, password monitoring, and a password reset."
"The most valuable features of NetIQ Access Manager are SSO and Multi-Factor Authentication."
"There are lots of options to customize the solution to your needs."
"It's very easy to integrate with applications."
"The single sign-on feature is excellent."
"The features that we have found most valuable with NetIQ Access Manager are its single sign-on and two factor two second factor database."
"Overall, it's not a very intuitive solution."
"The visibility in the GUI is not good for management. There are a lot of improvements that could make it better. It should be more user-friendly overall. It is not user-friendly because everything keeps changing on the platform. I can understand it because I know the platform, am familiar with it, and use it every day. However, for a lot of clients, they don't use it every day or are not familiar with it, so it should be more user friendly."
"Microsoft Entra ID's impact on access and identity management is relatively limited."
"It would be good to have more clarity around licensing."
"The permission management is a mess."
"Many of the features are outdated, so the UI and UX could be improved."
"My only pain point in this solution is creating group membership for devices."
"Lacks integration between applications and phones."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the security of the infrastructure and the server and the working networking device."
"Classification of junctions and new versions of applications, such as APIs, can be added to enable the use of more devices that utilize biometrics for Multi-Factor Authentication to improve the solution."
"Having the ability to easily extract and view and compare and version control configurations would be ideal."
"I would love to see the upgrade procedure handled more effectively. I would prefer to have OVS installation possibilities, although the upgrade procedures should include the OS as well. You should be able to use the whole application as an appliance."
"The application portal could be improved with more options and easier customization."
