Keytos EZRADIUS VS ShellNewHandler

• Cloud-native Azure/Entra ID integration
  EZRADIUS is designed specifically to integrate with Azure AD/Entra ID, allowing organizations already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem to leverage existing identities and groups for RADIUS authentication without deploying and maintaining on-premises RADIUS servers.
• Certificate-based authentication support
  The service supports certificate-based (EAP-TLS) authentication in addition to traditional username/password RADIUS methods, which can improve security by moving away from vulnerable credential-based Wi-Fi and VPN authentication.
• Reduced infrastructure management
  As a SaaS/cloud RADIUS offering, it removes the need for customers to manually patch, scale, and maintain physical or virtual RADIUS servers, reducing operational overhead and potential downtime associated with self-hosted solutions.
• Simplified deployment for Wi-Fi/VPN security
  EZRADIUS is marketed as an easy-to-deploy solution for securing Wi-Fi and VPN access, with setup wizards and documentation aimed at reducing the complexity typically associated with configuring RADIUS and NPS servers.
• Part of a broader identity security suite
  Being a Keytos product, it can integrate with other Keytos offerings (like EZCA for certificate authority management), potentially providing a more cohesive end-to-end PKI and network access control solution for organizations already using Keytos tools.

Possible disadvantages

• Vendor lock-in risk
  Relying on a niche SaaS provider for critical network authentication infrastructure could create dependency on Keytos's roadmap, pricing changes, and continued support, which may be riskier than using widely adopted enterprise RADIUS solutions.
• Limited third-party track record
  Compared to established RADIUS solutions from major vendors (e.g., Cisco ISE, Microsoft NPS, FreeRADIUS), Keytos EZRADIUS has a smaller market presence and fewer independent reviews or case studies, making it harder to evaluate long-term reliability and support quality.
• Dependency on Azure/Entra ID ecosystem
  Because the service is tightly coupled with Azure AD/Entra ID, organizations using multi-cloud or hybrid identity providers (e.g., on-prem AD without Azure AD Connect, or non-Microsoft IdPs) may face integration challenges or reduced functionality.
• Potential costs at scale
  As a subscription-based cloud service, ongoing costs could accumulate over time compared to a one-time investment in on-premises RADIUS infrastructure, particularly for larger organizations with many endpoints or sites needing RADIUS authentication.
• Cloud dependency and connectivity requirements
  Since authentication requests are processed via a cloud service, network connectivity issues or outages affecting the cloud provider or internet link could impact the availability of RADIUS authentication for Wi-Fi and VPN access, unlike some on-premises solutions that can operate in isolated network segments.

Tracking Keytos EZRADIUS since Jul 2026.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
