Executive SummaryUpdated on Apr 6, 2025

OneLogin by One Identity and Microsoft Entra ID compete in the identity management category. Microsoft Entra ID seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive security features and integration with Microsoft services.

Features: OneLogin is known for ease of use and diverse integrations, which simplify business processes. Key features include two-factor authentication, efficient log analysis, and seamless onboarding and offboarding processes. Microsoft Entra ID stands out with comprehensive security features, supporting both Microsoft and third-party applications. Highlighted features include robust conditional access policies, multifactor authentication, and seamless integration with Microsoft's suite of services.

Room for Improvement: OneLogin users mention integration and support issues post-acquisition, with slower feature adoption needing attention. Enhancing platform stability and integration is essential. Microsoft Entra ID is noted for complexity and high resource demands, with users seeking better cross-platform integration and improved documentation. Simplified user interface and support for non-Microsoft applications could enhance user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OneLogin is easy to deploy, benefiting from its cloud-based setup, though post-acquisition support has faced delays. Microsoft Entra ID operates on a hybrid model, integrating cloud and on-premises deployments. Its customer service is responsive but reliant on broader Microsoft service changes. While OneLogin initially had better support, Microsoft Entra ID's system is robust, especially for Microsoft-embedded organizations.

Pricing and ROI: OneLogin's pricing has seen inconsistencies, raising concerns for customers despite offering good value through cost optimization. It’s considered affordable for smaller setups. Microsoft Entra ID offers predictable licensing, often bundled within Microsoft service agreements, making it broadly affordable but costs can increase for advanced features. It's favored for its comprehensive suite integration and reliability, particularly within large enterprises.

The interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview

The cloud-based deployment was straightforward, but the on-prem deployment was in a highly complex ecosystem. Omada has matured since then. I wouldn't say that it isn't straightforward, but it depends on the customer. A standard deployment is relatively easy, but it can be more painful if you need a lot of customization. We deployed the cloud solution in around four months, nearly meeting the 12-week benchmark. The on-prem deployment took three years. It was a highly complex ecosystem that was dependent on other systems. Depending on the size of your environment, you need a product owner and some specialists for maintenance. My last customer was a university with a complex environment. They had around 12 people involved in maintenance at that organization. Typically, it's between 2-5 people.

Security focus and seamless implementation increase platform productivity

Microsoft Entra ID can be improved in many ways, and there's a big wish list.If we're focusing on security, something that I definitely expect is improvement in the UI and UX for frontline workers. This is important, especially for non-tech savvy individuals. It is something Microsoft Entra ID could do to improve for a wider audience. It's important to focus on the frontline workers since they are non-tech savvy individuals. They are not like those back-office engineering C-level employees who are constantly dealing with computers, and we need to build a specific user experience and user interface for them to handle this stuff. That's something I expect Microsoft to focus on more for Microsoft Entra ID.

Streamlines access management with top-notch support, and a user-friendly interface, making it a highly effective solution for businesses of all sizes

During my evaluation of various products, one standout feature of OneLogin that impressed me was their mobile app for authentication through push notifications. Unlike traditional methods involving rotating codes, the OneLogin app simplifies the process by sending a push notification asking if the login attempt is legitimate. If confirmed, the login proceeds seamlessly. The primary benefit is its user-friendly interface, making it particularly accessible for non-technical users. One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance. Their sales team has also been highly responsive and helpful in connecting me with necessary resources, although we haven't faced any major challenges.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Omada offers a technical solution that addresses both our needs."

"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."

"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."

"The teams we work with at Omada provide great insights and support. Overall, it has been a pleasure working with them. That's the part we value the most."

"It scales in terms of numbers and types of identities. It can govern the on-premise applications as well as the cloud applications. So, it can manage hybrid environments with all types of identities and various load amounts."

"The administrative features and SoD are valuable."

"For me, the best feature of Omada Identity is its web interface because it's really easy for users to understand."

"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."

More Omada Identity pros

"The most valuable feature is the conditional access policies. This gives us the ability to restrict who can access which applications or the portal in specific ways."

"A couple of features are valuable, but the one that comes across the most to me is multi-factor authentication."

"The most valuable feature of Azure AD is its ability to connect with services outside of Microsoft, although documentation is necessary to properly implement these connections."

"Very stable and scalable IAM service with good SSO and authentication features."

"Privileged Identity Management and Privileged Identity Management make controlling access considerably easier and ensure that authorized access is achieved."

"It is very simple. The Active Directory functions are very easy for us. Its integration with anything is very easy. We can easily do third-party multifactor authentication."

"Privilege identity management is the most valuable feature."

"The two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security for our organizational data, so Microsoft Authenticator plays a crucial role in making our confidential data more secure."

More Microsoft Entra ID pros

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

"In my role, the most valuable features are two-factor authentication and self-service password reset. The most helpful feature for the institution as a whole is probably the single sign-on. As an IT director, I care about security and ease of use."

"The solution's ability to save and manage of all my passwords is great."

"OneLogin is efficient."

"When it comes to access management, the solution's single pane of glass is extremely important. The single pane of glass for access management enables collaborative work between IT and security. We have access to certain applications that require device trust. Based on the role, we can access those applications through OneLogin Desktop."

"Once I made the OneLogin ID, it would essentially make user names and passwords for every application that we had."

"One aspect I particularly appreciate is their exceptional customer support whenever I've needed assistance."

"Ease of integration with AD."

More OneLogin by One Identity pros

Cons

"The account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."

"Omada's reporting functionality is limited and could benefit from greater customization."

"The solution should be made more agile for customers to own or configure."

"Omada Identity has two main issues that need to be solved or improved the most. One is its setup or installation process because it's complex and cumbersome. I'm talking about the process for on-premises deployment because I've never tried the cloud version of Omada Identity. Setting up the cloud version should be much easier. The second area for improvement in Omada Identity is that it's piggybacking on Microsoft's complex way of having all kinds of add-ons, extensions, or setups, whether small or large, such as the new SQL Server, and it's cumbersome to make sure that everything works. Omada Identity is a complex solution and could still be improved."

"If I had to name one thing, it would be the user interface (UI)."

"It is not possible to customize reports on Omada Identity."

"I am not working with the product, but they have this BI tool for role-based mining, and I think that should be included in the core product rather than an add-on."

"If you find an error and you need it fixed, you have to upgrade. It's not like they say, "Okay, we'll fix this problem for you." You have to upgrade. The last time we upgraded, because there was an error in a previous version, we had to pay 150,000 Danish Krone (about $24,000 at the time of this review) to upgrade our systems... That means that we have to pay to get errors fixed that Omada has made in programming the system. I hope they change this way of looking at things."

More Omada Identity cons

"Microsoft Entra ID could benefit from more fine-tuned rights. It is necessary to prevent granting an application or user broad access rights."

"In terms of stability, sometimes the more applications you integrate, the more it becomes a little bit unstable."

"At first, it was a bit challenging to come up with a workaround that would get authentication to work."

"Having more training would be quite helpful."

"The main issue is that because Active Directory is in the cloud, it will inevitably be dependent on internet connectivity."

"Azure AD does not support legacy authentication protocols, such as NTLM or Kerberos."

"I would rate it an eight out of ten. The price plays a factor in the rating."

"For the end users, it can be confusing if they have worked for another company that had the Authenticator app. It is tricky if they have already had the Authenticator app and then work somewhere else. If they have to download it again and use it again on their phone, it is something that gets complicated. I know how to get through it. They just need to uninstall and reinstall the application, but for them, sometimes, it is confusing."

More Microsoft Entra ID cons

"They have downtime twice a year or once in six months. During the downtime, the SSO page did not come up. When users wanted to get to their email, they were redirected to the OneLogin page, but the page did not come up, and MFA and logins failed. It completely crippled us."

"While I initially used OneLogin's desktop feature to extend SSO, I discontinued it two years ago due to limitations."

"The uptime has not been great recently, with some outages lasting six, seven, or eight hours."

"The solution keeps going down for many hours, which impacts the entire company. You can't access any applications. OneLogin Desktop has a huge problem where it locks your computers and you need to reset the whole computer, which is pretty insane."

"OneLogin needs to increase the number of connectors available out of the box to connect to the different endpoints. The number of out-of-box connectors should be increased."

"In terms of managing the users on a large scale, it would be easier if they had some kind of user management portal."

"I would like better reporting from SmartFactor Authentication when a user is not able to sign in due to a new location, new IP, new device, et cetera."

"I'd like OneLogin to have a customization section that displays the company's offerings, categorized by different topics."

More OneLogin by One Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada isn't cheap or expensive. The licensing model is flexible. I've only had limited interactions with the Omada sales team, but they were positive. They don't sell the customers more licenses than they need. It's important to accurately forecast future usage. For example, we have many licenses that we don't use because we don't have the identities yet. We pay extra, which isn't good."

"It is expensive. Fortunately, I had a very good procurement manager on my side, but they are expensive. The closest competitors are also very expensive. You get a full-fledged solution that can do everything you dream of, but you pay for everything."

"Omada Identity is very reasonably and competitively priced."

"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."

"It is not cheap. It is expensive, but compared to what we did almost three years ago, it is value for money. It is worth it."

"Omada is too expensive. We are in the automotive industry. The pricing might be high because most of the other customers are in the insurance or banking sectors, but it's steep for an auto supply company."

"Omada is expensive."

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"Microsoft Authenticator is included in the package when we purchase a license from Microsoft."

"The cost of Entra ID depends entirely on our organization's specific needs and use cases."

"Licensing is easy."

"The price of the solution's license is good."

"It's relatively inexpensive in comparison with third-party solutions. It's highly available and supported by Microsoft Azure in our enterprise agreements. With the addition of their B2C tenants, it's hard to beat from a cost perspective now."

"The price of the solution was reasonable."

"From a pricing standpoint, with all the services that we get, we are okay. I do not see a problem with the pricing structure. We are getting our money's worth."

"I'd recommend Azure Active Directory if you are a big company. For small or medium companies, it's probably not the best idea in the world because of the pricing. If you are a small company, you can probably deploy your own solutions because you're not handling a website with tons of traffic. If you are not like Adidas, Nike, or Walmart, you can do it in a way that is more localized than handling everything through a big price solution. However, Azure tends to provide you with solutions that are easier to use. If it was cheaper, I'd definitely recommend going for it."

More Microsoft Entra ID pricing and cost advice

"Surprisingly expensive given the price of on-premise solutions."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. It is much cheaper than other products."

"The price of the licensing is fine."

"OneLogin's pricing, from the perspective of the education sector, seems quite reasonable for the value it delivers."

"We were happy with the price we got when we signed up, but I don't know what will happen when the time comes to renew because it is a different company now. We haven't seen any pricing models or had that discussion yet. My renewal is a year and a half away. It's worth what we're paying for it. There's no way we could provide the level of service for cheaper or try to do the same in-house."

"It was cheap in the beginning, and then it became very expensive. We were initially charged $2 per user per month, which was fine, but by the second year, they increased it to $5 per user. That became very expensive for us because we had about 1,500 users. At $2 per user, it comes out to be $3,000 a month, which is $36,000 a year. If we move to $5 per user, it comes out to be $7,500 a month. That made its cost so high. That is why we removed the product because the cost was high."

"The pricing for OneLogin seems to be okay. The pricing and licensing are affordable. If you'd consider OneLogin to be expensive, it's worth it."

"While I wish OneLogin's pricing was more affordable, their licensing model, which is based on per user, is acceptable."
