Scored 0–5 against a published rubric. Independent analysis, no vendor sponsorship.
Overview
Entrust is a long-established security vendor spanning IAM, PKI, payment card issuance, and identity verification. Its 2024 acquisition of Onfido pulled document and biometric verification into the portfolio, positioning it as a credential-to-onboarding player rather than a pure access-management vendor.
Capability deep-dive
The strengths are credentialing, certificate and PKI depth, and hardware-backed trust, which suit governments and regulated enterprises. Adaptive MFA and passwordless are solid. The access-management layer is less developer-friendly than Okta or Entra, authorization beyond role basics is thin, and the breadth of the portfolio can make deployments feel heavy.
Pricing
Quote-based and sales-led. Expect enterprise contracts and professional services rather than transparent per-user tiers.
Bottom line
A strong pick when you want identity, PKI, and verification under one roof in a regulated environment, less so for a lean, API-first build.
