Looking for an Azure AD Alternative?
Azure AD rebranded to Microsoft Entra ID, but the vendor lock-in stayed the same. TitaniumVault gives you enterprise SSO, MFA, and identity management that works with any stack — not just Microsoft's. Start free with no credit card required.

Key Differentiators
No Vendor Lock-in
Azure AD is tightly coupled to the Microsoft ecosystem. Conditional access policies, device management, and integrations all assume you are running Microsoft 365, Windows, and Azure. TitaniumVault is built on open standards and works with any technology stack, cloud provider, or operating system. Switch clouds or frameworks without changing your identity provider.
Simpler Pricing
Microsoft licensing is notoriously complex. Azure AD capabilities are spread across Free, P1, P2, E3, E5, and EMS bundles, each with different feature sets. TitaniumVault uses straightforward per-user pricing with a free developer tier for testing. You always know exactly what you are paying and what is included.
Purpose-Built Authentication
Azure AD is one service among hundreds in the Azure platform. TitaniumVault is a dedicated authentication and authorization platform built from the ground up in Rust for maximum performance and security. Every feature is focused on identity management, not bundled as part of a massive cloud suite.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can TitaniumVault replace Azure AD / Entra ID for SSO?
Yes. TitaniumVault supports SAML 2.0 and OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect, the same industry-standard protocols that Azure AD uses. You can configure SSO for all of your SaaS applications and internal tools through TitaniumVault without relying on Microsoft infrastructure.
How does TitaniumVault pricing compare to Azure AD P1 and P2?
Azure AD Premium P1 starts at $6 per user per month and P2 at $9 per user per month, often bundled into complex Microsoft 365 or Enterprise Mobility + Security licenses. TitaniumVault offers a free developer tier for testing with up to 5 staff and 1,000 customers, with straightforward per-user pricing for production. There are no license bundles or hidden add-on costs.
Does TitaniumVault support MFA without an additional license?
Yes. TitaniumVault includes TOTP and WebAuthn (FIDO2) multi-factor authentication on every plan, including the free developer tier. Azure AD requires a Premium P1 license at $6 per user per month to unlock conditional access and advanced MFA policies.
Will I be locked into a specific cloud or technology stack with TitaniumVault?
No. TitaniumVault is completely vendor-neutral and standards-based. It works equally well with AWS, GCP, Azure, on-premise infrastructure, and any programming language or framework. Azure AD is optimized for the Microsoft ecosystem and works best with Microsoft 365, Azure, and Windows environments.
How do I migrate from Azure AD to TitaniumVault?
TitaniumVault supports the same standard protocols (SAML, OAuth, OIDC) as Azure AD, so migration is straightforward. You can run both platforms in parallel during the transition, moving applications one at a time. TitaniumVault also includes built-in LDAP sync, so you can import your existing directory. Our team is available to assist with migration planning.
