We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and UserLock based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Configuring the domain and setting it up in the Azure portal is just three clicks to be honest."
"My two preferred features are conditional access and privileged identity management."
"Azure Active Directory has useful policy assigning and management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to delegate roles to each individual resource, which is great."
"The solution scales well."
"The interface is well laid out and it is easy to navigate."
"The scalability capabilities are quite high."
"We have a history of all our authentications and excellent integration with the Microsoft solutions we use at our company. It runs smoothly in Windows and macOS."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"It would be awesome to have a feature where you can see the permissions of a user in all their Azure subscriptions. Right now, you have to select a user, then you have to select the subscription to see which permissions the user has in their selected subscriptions. Sometimes, you just want to know, "Does that user have any permissions in any subscriptions?" That would be awesome if that would be available via the portal."
"The synchronization with the local Active Directory and synchronization with all of the users on the local and cloud could be better."
"Reading documentation could be simplified. Technical support could also be faster."
"The Azure AD Application Proxy, which helps you publish applications in a secure way, has room for improvement. We are moving from another solution into the Application Proxy and it's quite detailed. Depending on the role you're signing in as, you can end up at different websites, which wasn't an issue with our old solution."
"The dashboard and interface could be better. It would be ideal if it was easier to use."
"I would like it if Intune could manage MacOS or iOS directly. Right now, we have to use a third-party solution."
"I haven't had any issues with the product."
"Though the installation was seamless, it took longer than expected to be completed."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
