Provides a single pane of glass, improves our security posture, and saves us time

Microsoft Entra ID can make improvements in two key areas. The first is to upgrade Workday and SuccessFactors integration to OAuth 2.0. Currently, these HR applications use basic authentication for inbound provisioning to Entra ID, while integration with other IDPs utilizes OAuth 2.0. Many organizations request the adoption of OAuth 2.0 for Entra ID as well, considering its enhanced security. The second is to provide clearer communication about features under public review. Features under public review should have comprehensive documentation outlining their capabilities and limitations. While user feedback is crucial, deploying incomplete features in production environments can lead to frustration and blame. Customers should be informed that public review features are not intended for production use.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Pricing could always be better. You pay the premium for Microsoft. Sometimes, it is worth it, and at other times, you wish to have more licensing options, especially for smaller companies."

"We don't really have a choice. It's the one shop in town. If you want this, you have to pay for it."

"We got a good deal. If you get rid of all the products providing features that Azure Suite can provide, then it makes sense cost-wise."

"Azure has an educational package available for students with a variety of licenses and different software available."

"Licenses are based on the usage. There is no cap. It's based on the number of users we provision."

"It is a really nice tool and we have a license for the more complex model."

"It's relatively inexpensive in comparison with third-party solutions. It's highly available and supported by Microsoft Azure in our enterprise agreements. With the addition of their B2C tenants, it's hard to beat from a cost perspective now."

"It comes free with the Microsoft account. We have a yearly agreement, and all products are covered under it."
