Microsoft Entra ID Reviews

The scalability is quite good.

It's a very necessary product in today's technological landscape. 

I can't speak to many aspects of the solution that need improvement.

The dashboard and interface could be better. It would be ideal if it was easier to use.

I've been dealing with the solution for four years.

I have found the solution to be very stable. 

The solution is extremely scalable. 

I have had a few experiences with technical support from Microsoft. It's a very interesting support that they provide. We work closely with them, and, when we do work together, it's better.

Before choosing this solution, we did not use any other product.

The initial setup is very easy.

I handled the implementation myself. 

We are a Microsoft partner.

Overall, it's a very interesting product.

I'd rate it at a nine out of ten.

Azure Active Directory is an identity and access management service.

With Azure Active Directory we were able to manage with different options the access for different users.

I have been using Azure Active Directory within the past 16 months.

The solution is stable.

The solution was difficult to scale because the group's configuration was complex.

I would rate the scalability level of Azure Active Directory a five out of ten.

We have not needed to contact support.

The implementation was easy and took approximately three hours.

We used three people to do the implementation of the solution and our analyst was in charge of the maintenance. 

The price of the solution was reasonable.

I rate Azure Active Directory a nine out of ten.

We had five people using the solution in my organization.

I primarily use this solution for hybrid deployment, security, securing resources and for integration purposes. In terms of security, we have been using the B2B/B2C hybrid integration with the certificate authentication.

From a practice point of view, of storing secrets internally on Azure AD, we use the certificate when we can.

I would advise to allow an ex-client user to change their password. At present, you can only change your password externally if your password is still valid. If your password is expired, you cannot actually do it through Azure AD.

Most of the time, this product is doing purpose-built solutions. Some people on my team like the multi-step authentication. Others like the fact that it secures their resources externally.

We found the ADFS being a redundant part of the solution. But, it was removed. The licensing is a bit confusing if you are not going into the premium model.

Three to five years.

It is pretty good in terms of stability. I have not had any issues. It has not crashed.

In terms of scalability, we have not had any formal issues or outages from the solution. We are currently using it for 100 users. But, our clients are also using it, and I think we have at least several thousand clients using it.

The initial setup was straightforward. It has been improving a lot in the past couple of years. Yes, it is a lot easier now than when I first started working with this solution. 

I would estimate that the initial setup would probably take a team a week to set up.

When implementing for one client, where they had ADFS turned on, we could not ID enough ADFS and when there was no internet connection. This was a Catch-22 for us, and very frustrating. I would advise new users to use Azure over the ADFS.

We use Azure AD for sign-on security as well as for our customers' Microsoft 365 solutions. We help migrate our customers from the traditional Active Directory, and to use Exchange Online and Microsoft Teams. We use Azure AD to secure their login processes with multi-factor authentication. In some specific cases, where there are specific applications, databases, or Active Directory login information about users, we integrate Azure AD with those elements.

Multi-factor authentication really secures our environments and gives us the flexibility to use location-based policies. Azure AD also gives us a lot of flexibility in our scope of integration.

It's easy to configure Microsoft products with Azure AD. It is almost an instant integration. In hybrid installations it is a bit more complex to configure, but not that much. In short, it is good for most Microsoft customers and the products they use.

Some of the features related to authentication could be made clearer. In my last organization, I tried to integrate a third-party education solution with Azure AD, but it was a bit difficult to configure. I would like it to be easier to integrate third-party applications.

I have been using Azure AD for three or four years.

It's a stable product. I haven't encountered any problems or bugs.

The solution is very scalable.

In general, there is no problem in configuring Azure AD. It's not hard. But, as I said, configuring third-party, open-source applications with it is a little bit difficult.

We usually set aside one day to configure Azure AD for new organizations. In general, it takes one person to maintain it, perhaps two in some cases.

We have faced a few little problems in our customers' hybrid environments. Backing up the ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) is very important, but some of our customers didn't do so and they lost their ADFS proxy servers. That is one of the important lessons I have learned. In those cases we had to reconfigure almost everything. It's simple to back up ADFS, so I would advise doing so.

But from the user's point of view, we've faced no problems. It works well.

We are using Azure Active Directory in our company at a group level.

Azure Active Directory has been very useful for our company, it is not difficult to use.

Azure Active Directory could improve the two-factor authentication.

I have been using Azure Active Directory for approximately four years.

The stability of Azure Active Directory is good.

Azure Active Directory is scalable.

We have approximately 1,000 users using this solution. Not everyone is using Azure Active Directory but the ones involved in the cloud are.

I have not used technical support.

The initial setup was very easy for Azure Active Directory.

My advice to others is if they're going to move to the Azure Cloud Platform, this could be a highly valuable add-on, in order to take care of authentication matters in general. It's a very useful tool and not difficult to use.

I rate Azure Active Directory an eight out of ten.

My main use is for directory services, including identity access, management policies, access control, authentication features, and endpoint management.

The licensing model makes it difficult to understand the real cost of the solution, especially because it changes all the time.  

I have fifteen years of experience with Active Directory.

The stability has improved from a couple of years ago. From time to time, there are service interruptions, but they're not a problem.

This solution is easily scalable.

The technical support can be confusing - if you're looking for something very specific, it can be hard to get the right answer or a solution. Google Workspace's support is stronger - it's fast and easy, and they go the extra mile without asking.

Active Directory is straightforward to set up.

Azure is the leading market solution because of its history, features, and maturity. I'd rate this solution seven out of ten.

I have been using Azure Active Directory mainly for access management, identity governance, access reviews, and patent management.

All of the features are amazing, such as identity governance and privileged identity management.

Azure Active Directory could benefit by adding the capability for identity life cycle for the on-premise solution. For example, an HR solution, which is built on-premise or, in general, better on-premise capable solutions.

I have been using Azure Active Directory for approximately four years.

Azure Active Directory is highly stable.

I have found Azure Active Directory to be scalable.

Every time I open a support case or support ticket, the response is very quick. They have been able to have a resolution to the issues I have had in a timely manner.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The E5 plan we are using contains the premium plans for Azure Active Directory. We are not paying only for the Azure Active Directory Premium licenses. We have it already included within our E5 plan.

I would recommend Azure Active Directory to others. it is integrated with all Microsoft platforms. It has a lot of useful features that can help security IT administrators.

I rate Azure Active Directory a ten out of ten.

The primary use case of the solution is for application security and user access management.

Azure Active Directory has improved our organization because it is one of the key components and is being used by almost most companies for identifying and access management on the cloud or on-premise infrastructure.

The solution has a variety of tools. Two of the most valuable features are the ability to create users and to replicate the user account from on-premise to the cloud. 

The solution could be improved when it comes to monitoring and logging as these are the most critical areas in case something was to go wrong.

Additionally, the available zones should be in all regions, such as in AWS, they have higher availability in all regions.

I have been using Azure Active Directory for approximately ten years. 

I find the stability of the solution to be very good. The solution has improved a lot in this area.

The solution is very scalable and is easy to scale.

The technical support is great. 

I have previously used Amazon Load Balancer and AWS. 

The initial setup of the solution is very easy.  

I rate Azure Active Directory a ten.
