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 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."
"This product is easy to use."
"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."
"The visibility and control for permission management are excellent."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The portal version of the Azure active directory is pretty robust."
"Configuring the domain and setting it up in the Azure portal is just three clicks to be honest."
"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."
"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."
"Automating anything, whether on-prem or cloud, is possible."
"In terms of stability, sometimes the more applications you integrate, the more it becomes a little bit unstable."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to monitoring and logging as these are the most critical areas in case something was to go wrong."
"I think the solution can improve by making the consumption of that data easier for our customers."
"Though the installation was seamless, it took longer than expected to be completed."
"The product could be more cost-effective."
"It would be good to have more clarity around licensing."
"Compatibility features for legacy system integration with new features will be challenging at times."
"A nice feature that is not currently present, would be if they had some visualization tools."

"I would like to see included in the next release of Venafi integration with the cloud HSM's, Hardware Security Module. Additionally, I would say other cloud services, because it's not only cloud that's essential. If you have a customer that has a lot of their IT moved into cloud, integration with different cloud services is always an area to improve."
