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.

Staff and students can now reset their passwords using their enrolled two-factor device as the authentication mechanism

We've been a OneLogin customer for several years now. While I like the platform, there have been some challenges. A great example is the amount of work needed with that webhook for the enrollment user experience. This functionality is native to some competing products. That's one area where we've leaned on our account rep over the years. They shouldn't rely on the customer to make this experience better. This is one feature request that hasn't been implemented yet. At the same time, they've implemented other features we've requested. One is the ability to use a personal email address as a factor. Initially, they didn't have that. We pushed hard on our account team for about two years before it was finally released. It's a give-and-take. Some of the product's features aren't perfect, but we've had some success pushing fixes to the development team that needs to happen. They've done a decent job. However, there are some fixes that they don't have an interest in. A lot of what I described was before OneLogin was acquired by Quest/One Identity. Things have changed. It doesn't feel like they're driving the product as OneLogin was. It may be because it's a new product to them, and they're still trying to get the lay of the land, process feature requests, etc., but it's not moving as fast as before. We've been experiencing some pain points since the acquisition. For example, there have been some outages we didn't see previously, which are a big topic with my executive team. You have hundreds of applications relying on this service for login. If the service is unavailable, nobody can log into these applications. The issues have high visibility. It's gotten better, but it's still there. It raises questions about whether One Identity can support the platform they've acquired. How are they enhancing the product? And how are they supporting the product and the service in the future? Those are two essential questions. There are also lots of nice-to-haves, but that's the case with any product.

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."

"It has a lot of out-of-the-box features. It is flexible, and there are a lot of possibilities to configure and extend it. It is user-friendly. It has an interface that is end-user or business-user friendly."

"The most appealing aspect of Omada Identity is its self-service upgrade system."

"Omada's best feature is creating accounts, automatically assigning permissions, and distributing resources based on assignment policies."

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

"As an administrator, we benefit from a lot of functionality that is available out of the box, but it is also configurable to meet our specific needs."

"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."

"Omada Identity Suite has a very powerful workflow engine. It is used for requesting access for approval to everything that's around Access Management and for re-certification purposes."

More Omada Identity pros

"The single sign-on across multiple platforms is really the true advantage here. That gives you one ID and password for access to all your systems. You don't need to manage a plethora of different user IDs and passwords to all the systems that you're going to access."

"One of the most important is the Conditional Access. It helps affect a Zero Trust strategy positively."

"Entra ID has helped us implement role-based authentication rather than conditional keys."

"We need something that makes an attacker's life harder."

"Delegated permissions and federated credentials are valuable features of Entra ID."

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

"We like the ease of app registrations and single sign-on with Entra ID. It offers an easy way to add multi-factor authentication to nearly any application and system."

"The implementation of Microsoft Entra ID has impacted my secure access to apps or resources in my environment because it made it easier."

More Microsoft Entra ID pros

"Documentation."

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

"Ease of integration with AD."

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

"The directory integration and SCIM provisioning are probably the best features compared to competitors."

"Simplicity is the most valuable part of OneLogin."

"The most valuable feature is the ease with which we can manage the sign-on feature."

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

More OneLogin by One Identity pros

Cons

"The architecture of the entire system should also be less complex. The way they process the data is complex."

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

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

"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."

"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."

"When the re-certification process is launched that makes Omada very slow. There are performance issues in the current version."

"What I would most like to see added to the product is role management, especially enterprise or business role management, and the processes around that."

"The comprehensiveness of Omada's out-of-the-box connectors for the applications we use could be better. We are getting a new HR system called Cornerstone for which they do not have an out-of-the-box connector, so we have to take the REST connector and play around with it."

More Omada Identity cons

"Entra ID has limited integration with non-Microsoft solutions like iOS or Ubuntu. If it worked across different software and all kinds of devices could be managed under it, that would be great."

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

"Microsoft is working with Microsoft Identity Manager for Active Directory on-premise. It will be very important to have these identity management solutions directly in Azure Active Directory. It's very important to have some kind of Azure identity manager as a technology for identity and access management for working both in the cloud and inside the Azure suite."

"They should put the features of P1 and P2 into a single license."

"Microsoft often changes settings, and many features are scattered."

"Microsoft Authenticator is as easy as Google Authenticator, but it is not open to all types of applications. Google Authenticator is integrated with other third-party platforms and applications, whereas Microsoft Authenticator is not. It should have more integration with third-party platforms and applications."

"I want better integration between Azure AD and the on-prem environment because there are currently limitations that can hamper employee experience. We use a feature called password writeback, that can be challenging to implement in a hybrid environment. Employees can change their passwords using a self-service password reset (SSPR) feature, which reflects from the cloud to the on-prem identity, but not the other way around. Currently, there is no way to reflect passwords from on-prem identities to the cloud."

"In terms of improvement, we face issues with latency and responsiveness. Changes take some time to reflect across all users, sometimes up to twenty-four hours, which can be challenging when we need to implement drastic changes."

More Microsoft Entra ID cons

"having a RESTful implementation instead of RPC would have been more desirable."

"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."

"The tool must be made more robust."

"To offboard, you have to manually click on this checklist, each of the checkmarks. It would actually be really nice if, for offboarding someone, you just click "offboard" and it automatically runs a script to do that."

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

"More off-hour support."

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

"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."

More OneLogin by One Identity cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."

"It is fairly priced for an on-premise environment, but for the cloud environment, I am not that happy with the pricing."

"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 not cheap. None of these solutions are cheap, but we have good pricing at least for now from a licensing perspective."

"It is licensed per managed user per year."

"Omada continues to be very competitive on pricing, especially on the Omada cloud product."

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."

"From an on-prem point of view, the cost is quite transparent and reasonable. The direct cost is primarily for licenses and maintenance on licenses."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"It is costly."

"The solution has three types of tiers: E1 has very basic features. You get limited stuff in E2 and cannot have Office 360 associated with it. E3 is on the costly side and has all the features."

"I'm not totally aware of the pricing and licensing, but I do know that the pricing and licensing must be quite balanced. We are a pretty old client of Microsoft, and MSA is just one of the services we use from Microsoft. There's a whole Microsoft 365 suite that's implemented as well. I'm sure it is something that is acceptable to both parties."

"Entra ID is not too bad, but Microsoft licensing generally is insane. Most customers normally buy a bundle license with Microsoft 365, E3, or E5. Out of our 2,000 customers, for 99.9% of our customers, the Entra ID license that they are getting through the part of that would be sufficient. There are some more advanced ones that give you a bit more functionality, but we probably have not had a customer for that. We do not even internally use that ourselves. When you buy the Entra ID license on its own, it is probably three or four pounds. You just get it included in the license."

"If you have a different IDP today, I would take a close look at what your licensing looks like, then reevaluate the licensing that you have with Microsoft 365, and see if you're covered for some of this other stuff. Folks sometimes don't realize that, "Oh, I'm licensed for that service in Azure." This becomes one of those situations where you have the "aha" moment, "Oh, I didn't know we can do that. Alright, let's go down this road." Then, they start to have conversations with Microsoft to see what they can gain. I would recommend that they work closely with their TAM, just to make sure that they are getting the right level of service. They may just not be aware of what is available to them."

"I think we're on the E3 — I think it was about 35 dollars per user."

"Be sure: You know your userbase, e.g., how many users you have. You choose the right license and model that suit your business requirements."

"We have various levels of their licensing, which includes users on different levels of their enterprise offering."

More Microsoft Entra ID pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

"The price of the licensing is fine."

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

"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."

"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."

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