Likelihood to Recommend It is well suited for creating and updating and deleting employee attributes through Azure AD provisioning. But there can be some scenarios such as installation of provisioning agent documentation can be improved with proper screenshots. This will help consultants better in further implementations in future. The integration perspective is good but still the documentation available has scope of improvement.
Read full review Easy to implement and support. Flexible platforms and user-friendly interface. Not a lot of customization is available to customers and response time of support could be better. There are now competing products that utilize new features like facial recognition. Using camera and fingerprint sensors are becoming standard in smartphones so RSA SecureID should offer those as options.
Read full review Pros Microsoft Entra ID's biometric authentication improves security and streamlines user access through facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, which are reliable and practical. Users can easily confirm their identities using biometrics, smart cards, or PINs, increasing security without disrupting business operations. Microsoft Entra ID provides us with a thorough security comprehension by allowing us to effectively manage user identities, regulate access entitlements, and track authentication events. Read full review RSA Authentication Manager is easy to deploy and configure. It is a scalable solution meant for a large enterprise. Some of the key features of RSA Authentication Manager where it particularly does well are provisioning, mapping, and logging. It has a very nice console with good administrative and troubleshooting options. Reliable security for VPN, applications, and wifi. Read full review Cons Support has been less responsive than we'd like. Sometimes, responses/callbacks can take days. There seem to be some credential conflicts with users who had "personal" accounts in the past using the same email address. Would like more options for chat-based troubleshooting, rather than phone or email. Read full review Slow to provide updates to latest operating system versions. While the GUI is clean and easy to use, it does look very dated. There is not an option for a temporary code to log in. It would be nice for situations where you are at a remote site but don't have your device (laptop, phone, etc.) with you, as well as other situations. Read full review Likelihood to Renew It has been an essential tool and we have had very few problems using it. Nothing comes close that I have seen, though given how well it has worked out for us I really don't look very hard. The value is extremely high when you consider you get Microsoft Entra ID and the rest of the
Microsoft 365 platform for one price.

Read full review Using it very frequently, it's important that its straight forward and I do not have to go through unnecessary hoops to achieve something seemingly simple. Can setup using the company credentials and do not have to setup up a separate account. Setup was fast and easy. GUI is very straight forward and quick.
Read full review Support Rating Microsoft has offered Azure Active Directory as a solution for a couple of decades now, so they have seen and anticipated almost any issue that an organization may face and can therefore help. The cloud offering of Azure Active Directory offers some additional "self healing" or monitoring services that can minimize the need for a service call. However, as with most large companies supporting a fast growing market, there may be some gaps in service knowledge (and particularly processing) from the front line / tier one staff as they follow a corporate script at first contact.
Read full review Their support for onboarding and set-up is quite good. The only issues we tend to have are obtaining new user devices. These need to be planned ahead of time.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Microsoft seems to be the better service for cloud identity syncing and is still a leader in this realm. Their service is reliable, and we use it with all of our clients. Compared to Okta, the cost is more affordable and they include a lot of services in the Microsoft licensing plans. This makes it the better option for most cases.
Read full review Overall MS AAD is good but we have had a few too many reliability issues with the product that have lead to enterprise authentication outages over the last year. The Senior executives have a preference on Securid to be more reliable than MS AAD. SecurID does a better job in Integration for legacy on-premise applications for instance.

Read full review Return on Investment I believe that the reduction in requests for lost access passwords has been considerably reduced by 20%. There has been an increase in the productivity of each user who has used Entra ID; what these types of programs do is act as a motivator for users so that they can work more comfortably and avoid procrastinating. Read full review Implementing RSA SecurID has allowed us to help our clients understand we are committed to compliance. Implementing RSA SedcurID has, however, negatively impacted employee productivity. Employees need to be aware of the additional steps they need to take to authenticate to a protected system. RSA SecurID has helped us with our compliance audits. Read full review ScreenShots
