RSA ID Plus review
A broad MFA and access platform for organizations with complex application environments.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
RSA ID Plus is an identity and access management platform for government, financial services, and other high-assurance organizations. It combines multifactor authentication, single sign-on, passwordless authentication, federation, directory connectivity, contextual and adaptive access, and self-service workflows. Deployment options span cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments, with capabilities varying by subscription plan. Its large application catalog makes it relevant for organizations managing access across many business systems.
The plan structure is designed around different authentication and access requirements. ID Plus C1 provides modern MFA, self-service, cloud-only authentication, and federation through SAML 2.0 and OIDC. ID Plus E1 adds hybrid MFA, unified management, cloud and on-premises support, plus RADIUS, macOS, and Linux support. ID Plus M1 focuses on passwordless authentication, MFA resilience, help desk protection, and Microsoft Entra ID support. ID Plus E2 adds hybrid authentication and access, adaptive access, single sign-on, and secure enrollment. ID Plus E3 adds risk-based AI, Mobile Lock, adaptive access controls, and premium 24/7 support. There is no free plan, and the published starting price is 3.
Integration breadth is a central reason to consider RSA ID Plus. It supports federation, SAML 2.0, OIDC, RADIUS, Web Proxy, macOS, Windows, and Microsoft Entra ID. The application catalog states nearly 2,000 prebuilt integration templates for more than 1,200 partner applications. Other capabilities include password reset, emergency access, application access requests, and automated fulfillment. Organizations needing a large catalog, multiple deployment models, or advanced authentication options should shortlist it. Teams seeking a simple cloud-only MFA product, free entry tier, or lifecycle provisioning should consider alternatives.
