CyberQP LAPS vs. Microsoft LAPS (A Comparison)
Microsoft LAPS: A Legacy Option with Limitations
Microsoft’s traditional LAPS offering works well, but only in certain environments. It’s designed for Active Directory (AD) joined workstations that are connected to the office network. That makes it a good fit for older, on-prem setups and a poor choice for hybrid and remote teams, where machines are either off network or joined to Azure AD instead of a traditional domain.
Microsoft Intune LAPS: A Modern Take with Narrow Focus
To address more modern environments, Microsoft introduced Intune LAPS, a feature within its mobile device management (MDM) platform. This version allows local admin password rotation for Intune-enrolled devices, storing credentials securely in Azure AD.
While Intune LAPS is a solid improvement over its legacy counterpart, it’s still limited to local admin passwords on Intune enrolled devices, and requires specific licensing which can make managing multiple client environments expensive.
Intune LAPS also lacks integrations with the tools you use most such as IT Glue or Hudu, making it harder to unify workflows across your team.
CyberQP LAPS: Built for You
CyberQP LAPS goes beyond local admin password management and is built to meet the needs of both MSPs and internal IT teams. In contrast to Microsoft’s solutions, we support both domain joined and non-domain joined workstations. It works for all workstations no matter where they are located in an easy to use SaaS platform that does not require Active Directory.
Key advantages of CyberQP’s solution:
- Works without Active Directory or Intune
