Imprivata Enterprise Access Management vs. Microsoft Entra ID vs. Oracle Identity Governance

It's a very good tool for anyone in the industry who wants to deploy Multi Factor authentication to make their company safe and secure. It is best suited for companies where a majority of the workforce works in the field; and access to company data using internet can be a little risky. Imprivata One-sign will make the connection more secure and safe.

Based on my experience, I think Microsoft Entra ID will suit it in the business environment. I enjoy how it interconnects with a lot of things. Most recently, we're moving away from Zoom and trying to do Teams phones. So I think the integration of Microsoft Entra ID with pretty much every system allows it to connect pretty seamlessly. I think from browsers to apps, all the way around to phones and mobile devices. So I do enjoy that.

Well suited for: 1. Large and medium organisations who have the capacity to invest in IAM roadmap for long term. 2. Organisations with and existing oracle and partner applications ecosystem. 3. Scenario where the user base is on the higher side and organisations looking to scale up in near future. 4. Organisation with complex workflow need in identity management process. Not well suited for 1. Small organisations or even medium ones which have a lesser number of applications 2. Scenarios where custom connectors need to be developed but at the same time turnaround should be quick. 3. Scenarios when features you are looking for are missing, getting them added could take a lot of effort. 4. UI is not very user-friendly and needs to be customised. 5. Takes time to stablise post going live

• Allows admins to enable single sign-on to additional applications without Imprivata services. After a quick training session with Imprivata, most admins are easily able to enable additional apps.
• Works well with many device types including Windows, IGEL, Teradici and many Linux based thin clients.
• High availability and failover. Imprivata's implementation of this was one of the most well thought out and easy to implement of any solutions in our stack. It works very similar to Active Directory, but requires no real config or settings to make it happen. Add an additional appliance and the enterprise is automatically synchronized. If an appliance goes down, client software is aware and automatically switched to another appliance.

• Single Sign-on helps ease the user experience, allowing users to avoid typing multiple passwords.
• The identity and management are straightforward to use and easy to connect to other applications, as well as third-party applications.
• The support of remote work. Nowadays, many people work from home and need to access their accounts. Microsoft Enterprise ID gives secure access to the company data.

Incentivized

• It has a very well-defined and scalable framework (LDAP directory).
• It scales particularly well, going from a basic platform to a complex one using customisation and extensions.
• It integrates well with other components like SSO and Access Manager to provide comprehensive a one stop identity management solution.

• Building the application profiles is not always simple.
• Better application integration with Java would be beneficial.

• The price of licenses are a bit higher and everything needs an additional license.
• When in non Microsoft environments, the integration is not smooth at all with some.
• For effective use of the advanced features may require trainings which is an extra cost.

• The cost could be lower.
• Support.
• Identity.

MSFT Entra ID has been essential for managing our geographically dispersed team. We're confident that it will scale with us as grow, and we'll be able to take advantage of additional security and ID management features as they become necessary. Being able to centrally manage our user access from anywhere with a small support team is such a relief.

Simply because of what I mentioned earlier, the feature set sort of keeps changing and they do a lot of, they integrated with a lot of the other tools and so for users who are not as well seasoned, it may be a little bit more complicated for them to begin working within the tool.

Overall good product and somewhat reliable when used in a specific manner. However, there are cons like unending bugs and no well-defined upgrade path. The product could have been more flexible and lite in terms of organisational infra needs. OIM is a robust product but other vendors are almost on-par now.

There has been a handful of outages but they have been either minimal or rarely severe

I could probably rate this a 10 but I'm always conservative on giving out perfect scored bt performance has not been a problem for us using Entra ID.

I have not needed to engage support for anything at this time. I have been able to find the answers either online or in a knowledgebase. I tried to skip the question but it would not let me, so I rated a 9 based on other interactions with Microsoft support I have had

Make sure you use a good partner. Our implementation was a bit longer and more problematic than we expected. Our partner got it done, but, in my opinion, some of their inexperience and staffing issues were evident.

None of the other toolsets offered Epic integration. I spent 9 months testing other SSO tools and found them to be slow and tied to specific tools and or workflows only. Imprivata OneSign was the only truly universal tool that I could find that was adaptable.

Microsoft Entra ID is not as stand-alone product as competitors like Okta. It may lack some of the features that competing products have but on the other hand it integrates both technically and license wise with other Microsoft cloud services and is easy to deploy. It is also the easiest way to extend identity management to the cloud if you already have Microsoft Active Directory in use.

I was not involved in the purchasing decision, an enterprise architect who used Gartner as a source was influential

The features are getting addresses per requirements and their value for Money. The proposed ROI and actual ROI build confidence.

Scalability is pretty trival for Entra ID. It's not difficult to manage a few or many accounts.

Microsoft Professional Services' technical knowledge is appreciable as consultants design the solution as per customer requirements. Mapping of features per user specifications and assisting Customer IT engineers to implement so they can manage and administer the services.

• Increase in security prevents lost revenue due to fines over security breaches.
• Easier password management allows for smaller tech team.

• I think it's had positive. It's enabled us to make authentication easier and more streamlined across the organization from frontline workers to back office workers.
• It's allowed us to really adopt authentication policies and methods that suit that user and their work environment.

• It has a great impact from moving us from paper based to full EHR Compliance
• It's easy to check and see how users get and lose access to the systems that are administered through OIM
• It's also helping in tying down Policies and procedures within the Orgainization
