Microsoft Entra ID vs OneLogin

Microsoft Entra ID and OneLogin are both cloud iam solutions. Microsoft Entra ID microsoft's cloud identity platform with deep M365 and Azure integration, while OneLogin cloud IAM platform with SmartFactor Authentication and cost-effective pricing. The best choice depends on your organization's size, technical requirements, and budget.

Choose Microsoft Entra ID if included in Microsoft 365 licensing — significant cost savings for M365 shops is your priority and organizations heavily invested in Microsoft 365 and Azure that want unified identity management across their Microsoft ecosystem. Choose OneLogin if more affordable than Okta with comparable core SSO and MFA capabilities matters most and mid-market organizations looking for a full-featured cloud IAM platform at a lower price point than Okta with straightforward deployment.

OneLogin starts at SSO $2/user/mo; Advanced $4/user/mo; Professional $8/user/mo (per-user tiers). Microsoft Entra ID starts at Free tier with M365; P1 $6/user/mo; P2 $9/user/mo (per-user (bundled with microsoft licenses)). As always, the sticker price only tells part of the story. Factor in add-ons, implementation costs, and what's actually included at each tier.

It depends on how deeply Microsoft Entra ID is embedded in your stack. Most teams run both in parallel for a few weeks before cutting over. Check whether OneLogin supports importing your existing configs or policies. That's usually the biggest time sink.
