Software engineer

Setting up SSO for a niche project management tool took more effort than expected.

System Specialist

The software also has a robust set of features for administrators to control user access, such as role-based access control and multi-factor authentication.

Investigative Producer

Can need to re-log in fairly frequently, which causes a waste of time.

One of the main issues is that the software can be slow to load at times, which can be frustrating for users who need to quickly access applications.

Software Engineer

It has the ability to sync users from directories like G suite and Workday.

Additionally, OneLogin has a comprehensive set of security features to protect our organization against potential cyber threats.

Business Operations Manager

We were really  only able to use it as a password management program overall since OneLogin refused to offer any training, stating it was not economically feasible for them to do so.

Additionally, the initial set up of OneLogin can be time-consuming and complicated, especially for larger organizations.

Although it offers a lot of integrations, some of them lead to cumbersome provisioning.

Talent Acquisition Partner

Sometimes the sync gets reset, so I lose passwords.

Computer Engineer

Project Manager

Sometimes I have issues with the passwords.

Partner vertical 

It is very good that you have only one password for every platforms and you have 2FA so you are safe.

Account executive 

Sometimes it can get confusing - need to ensure your passwords are consistently updated.

Product Manager

OneLogin provides secure access to SaaS services through SSO.

Every time you log in via another device you are receiving confirmation email.

Professional Success Associate

It was a pain to try to switch identifiers over after losing a cell phone.

Accounts Receivable Coordinator 

Required reset by IT when I recent it a new phone.

Research Analyst

I love how easy it is and how many logins and programs can be stored with this product.

It is ideal to use and does not require the end user to manage the passwords at all.

Presales Engineer

There is nothing I don't like, but if you really want to look for a flaw, the need to approve the certificate within the browser when using OneLogin Desktop

Associate Recruiter

The biggest disadvantage is, If the common platform faces the server issue, the access to all other software also fails.

IT support Specialist

It is quite expensive and the support package costs more.

Case Manager

I am contstantly logging into our carrier sites and it is very inconvenient to have to go back multiple times a day to log back in.

It is the collaboration of all the required software and files that could be assessed with single credential.

Customer Service Representative

ease of use, quick and dependable, never had a breach, fast, helpful for many different software security

Senior Program Manager

Overall it's been the best type of administrative tool, which is one that I rarely have to think about!

Consultant

I have never had any problem connecting to OneLogin.

CX Team Lead

Having extra security is always a good idea.

Overall it’s made my life easier and more secure.

It's really easy to use and it syncs well with DUO.

Analyst

It feels clunky to unlock your phone and then have to hit accept multiple times a day.

Sr. IT Security Architect

The deployment of the tool and integration with other apps for SSO is fairly simple.

The experience so far has been phenomenal using Onelogin as the SSO integration is like a piece of cake.

It was annoying for me at first because there were multiple sign ins but I just needed to change the settings.

It is very user-friendly and you feel safe!

Overall, Onelogin has worked just fine, but I think there are a few things that could be changed/updated for daily use.

OneLogin is a great product and is very easy to use.

Azure Active Directory, part of Microsoft Entra, is an identity and access management (IAM) software designed to help enterprises provide protection against cybersecurity attacks through single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication. It allows administrators to securely engage with internal and external stakeholders and provide on-site and remote access to various applications.

Certain reporting options and additional settings are also all blocked by paywall forcing you to either pay more money for more licensing or look at 3rd party solutions.

I don't like how convoluted the licensing can be. While they offer some conditional access policies at our current license level, we would have to bump up to E5 or P2 add on licenses in order to take advantage of some of the more robust policies.

President

Features like single sign-on and multi-factor authentication help improve both security and user experience.

Setting up conditional access policies and fine tuning permissions can take time and requires a solid understanding of the platform.

IT Manager

In our case, we integrate with O365 apps and there are still things like managing "groups" where tasks are done in the O365 Admin Dashboard as opposed to all tasks being managed in the Azure AD Dashboard.

Systems Administrator

Other thing is Microsoft is pretty much always changing the portal, so it can be sometimes tricky to find what you are looking for when expect to be at the old place.

IT Administrator

Simple integrations with Active Directory and Intune are important in most business applications these days.

The integration with Microsoft services and third-party applications is another major advantage.

Troubleshooting issues is not always straightforward, either, as the interface and logs can be difficult to navigate without experience.

We're now working to move to cloud only users, our endpoints have all been transitioned over to Entra ID utilizing Intune and Auto Pilot for deployment.

IT Infrastructure Engineer

Changes in the portal and branding (Azure AD → Entra ID) caused some initial confusion.

Along with integration into business applications for SSO.

The licensing model can be confusing, especially around Premium P1/P2 features.

The tool has set me up for success more times than not. While there was a large learning curve, once that knowledge was established, it was a breeze.

Network Administrator

Azure AD is a cloud based service, meaning it requires an internet connection for authentication & access to resources.

Sr IT Engineer

Azure AD integrates with most external software that we have procured, and it is very easy to implement Single Sign-On.

senior software engineer

I liked Azure Active Directory’s strong security features and seamless integration with Microsoft 365 and other Azure services.

Its single sign-on (SSO) capabilities greatly simplify user access management across apps.

IT Analyst

I like that it provides user access control and account security.

Specialist

If your organization already in on-premises you need some connection and tokens to configure azure AD.

Troubleshooting issues like conditional access policies can also be challenging without deep documentation.

Infrastructure Architect

Support is definatly not a strong part of the company as a whole.

System Analysis

Previous to signing up for Office 365 we used a on-premise active directory, using the tools provide it was easy to transfer our directory information over to the Azure Active Directory and have them work together in a hybrid mode.

Overall Microsoft Entra ID is a great product with a lot of pros and some cons.

Nothing i don't really like, it is a well-rounded product and you would hope it is with Microsoft being in the game for so long

I found Azure Active Directory’s interface a bit complex for new users, especially during initial setup.

IT Director

so you need to start on top of Entra news to (re)locate things.

Azure AD hosted on azure cloud so we can manage From cloud

Sr. Manager, Information Technology Audit

Allows smooth and easy connection for users and systems, via SSO.

The most well rounded User management solution EVER.

We have been able to slowly decrease the amount of on-premise servers had transition to cloud only at a pace we control due to this.
