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."This product is easy to use."
"Its ability to provide secure connections to people at all locations is the most valuable. It is mostly used by enterprises."
"https://www.itcentralstation.com/product_reviews/microsoft-bi-review-52460-by-amanda-zhou"
"The security features, multi-factor authentication, and service management features are valuable."
"It's an easy product to maintain."
"Syncing with our on-prem Active Directory is valuable because we do not have to keep multiple identities for each of our staff members. We can easily evaluate login risks and provide access for SSO via 365 into applications, such as Salesforce, and other things that we run our business on."
"Don't delay implementing this solution, it's the best thing you can do for your identity protection."
"I like the downloads, availability for Android and iOS operating systems, and integration with Microsoft applications, such as Azure- and Office-based solutions. It is an excellent tool that helps with day-to-day business operations. I also like that I can install the app on my mobile."
"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."
"The technical support could improve by having a faster response time."
"Adding a new account can be tricky."
"When you start to deal with legacy applications, provisioning is not as intuitive."
"I would like to dive into some of the things that we saw today around the workflows at this Microsoft event. I cannot say that they need to make it better because I do not have much experience with it, but something that is always applicable to Microsoft is that they need to be able to integrate with their competitors. If you look at IDP, they do not integrate with Okta."
"The robustness of the conditional access feature of the zero trust strategy to verify users is adequate but not comprehensive."
"I think the solution can improve by making the consumption of that data easier for our customers."
"Our users sometimes experience issues from having multiple Microsoft accounts, which can cause some confusion and hassle."
"My problem with Azure AD is that it's designed for medium to large systems, and we're not that large."
"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."
