Useful for multifactor authentication and account creation for the Exchange environment in Office 365
The solution is part of my Microsoft Office 365 environment. I would recommend Microsoft Entra ID Governance for customers looking for a similar solution, but it depends on their needs. For example, it is a good choice if you're in an Apple environment and need to use Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager. Additionally, it can be beneficial for a school district. However, your email system might be the driving factor if you're a business. Microsoft Entra ID Governance is a good fit if you use Exchange or Office 365 Exchange. However, it's worth considering other options if you primarily use Google for email and file sharing. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Helps to react promptly with monitoring and alerting capabilities
We use Ermetic for monitoring and alerting.  The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time.  Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms.  I have been working with the solution…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution gives me the capability to automatically move guest accounts from the tenant without any manual intervention."
"The product's most valuable features are the robust audit trail capabilities."
"The most valuable features are multifactor authentication and account creation for the Exchange environment in Office 365."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID Governance for identity management is multi-factor authentication."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID Governance is access reviews."
"Access reviews are an essential feature of Entra Governance. Additionally, privileged identity management is one of its most valuable features. Just-in-time access, or Jet GIT, is integral to this system. Moreover, user behavior analytics stands out as one of its top features."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the single sign-on service."
"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."
"Scanning and reporting are the most valuable features of Tenable Cloud Security"
"If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it."
"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."
"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."
"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Entra ID Governance should improve its capability to manage identities and access from a single console."
"Microsoft has done a commendable job with RPAX. However, Microsoft should prioritize enhancing its ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) capabilities. Currently, Microsoft's ABAC offering falls behind AWS in comparison."
"The solution lacks the feature to work well with third-party applications."
"The product's workflow approval process needs improvement."
"Bridging between on-premises and cloud services has the potential for improvement. For instance, it would be beneficial to be able to synchronize traditional directory schemas with Azure. I need to maintain an on-premises Active Directory server for certain required services."
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Entra ID Governance could be providing more granular control over security policies."
"The platform's configuration process needs improvement."
"I have faced several bug incidents with the solution"
"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."
"Tenable needs to offer a patch-based solution since it is an area where the tool lacks a bit."
"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."
"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."
"The product must provide more features."
"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."
"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While other products give the pricing for their application, Microsoft Entra ID Governance has a per-user-based license model."
"In the education sector where I work, the annual cost for my Google and Microsoft environments is approximately $35,000. This covers the needs of 3,400 students and 800 faculty and staff members."
"There are no additional costs besides the standard licensing fees."
"The solution's pricing is not low but reasonable."
"The tool's pricing is fair."
"The tool's price is good compared to other brands. The tool's subscription is for a year."
"There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
