User Testimonials
	Microsoft Entra External ID	NetIQ by OpenText
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft It is not easy to calculate the actual ROI due to the difficult quantification of all factors, but it certainly contributed a lot in protecting, monitoring and controlling access to our system. It also made it much easier to detect vulnerable external users with simple and "easy to hack" passwords they use on multiple apps. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText An organization who needs a way of managing their entire user lifecycle. If an organization needed a solid Identity Management (IDM) solution that could do Single Sign-On (SS) and provisioning for services both internally and in the cloud.

Pros	Microsoft Single sign-on simplifies access to your apps from anywhere Strong authentication for your customers using their preferred identity provider. Integrating with social accounts such as Facebook or Google+ Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText Easy to use workflow for creating users. The self-service portal for resetting passwords etc., is easy to deploy. Has strong user activity monitoring. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Troubleshooting diagnostic logs effectively requires VS Code Group and role management requires additional effort The programming model (XML) could use some developer experience love Incentivized Lars Kemmann Principal Architect Read full review	OpenText The interface is a bit outdated. It would be nice to be able to customize the self-service portal more. It would be great if it integrated with more products. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft Each one of these alternatives has pros and cons. PingOne from Ping Identity states they "help deliver the secure and seamless customer experience to win battles for customer acquisition, retention, revenue, loyalty, and trust." While that may be the case, they did not fit our needs. We have a complex system and it did not seem to fit into our business.

Return on Investment	Microsoft Having monthly active users billing was cost-effective. Helped with the IT support that was already managing the Azure platform of the company; this helped to manage the costs better and optimize them.
