Microsoft Entra ID Reviews

The solution is being used at Kuwait University for different things, such as email systems.

Overall the solution functions very well, such as the ability to access it from the cloud.

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

The stability of Azure Active Directory is good.

Azure Active Directory has been scalable.

If we have any problems we contact the local reseller, and if we need to contact Microsoft, we do it directly.

We were previously using Microsoft Active Directory which was not on the cloud. Having Azure Active Directory on the cloud is a benefit.

The initial setup is simple. There is not a need to do any installation or configuration, you only make a subscription and you run it.

There is a subscription model that is used for Azure Active Directory.

The subscription should be categorized by business size. For example, small companies should have a discounted price, this would help small companies and the organization to be automated.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Azure Active Directory a ten out of ten.

I like Intune's MDM and MI.

I would like it if Intune could manage MacOS or iOS directly. Right now, we have to use a third-party solution. 

I've been working with Intune for four years

I think Intune is more stable compared to five years ago.

Intune's scalability is better now that it's on the cloud. We can deploy to all of our devices without performance suffering.  

Microsoft support is good.

My customers usually do a pilot project. Then it goes to the IT department after that. If they are happy with the features and functionality, then they will deploy it to the users. We typically have no problems, but sometimes we face issues with older devices.

I would like to see Microsoft offer discounts for larger Intune deployments.

I rate Intune nine out of 10. If the user is working with a Microsoft device or license, Intune is really powerful because it has a bundled license. Still, if we need to manage another system, Intune is too expensive. If the ecosystem is Microsoft, I recommend Intune because it's Microsoft's end-to-end solution. 

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.

I use Authenticator across my company for controlling access to our platforms and data.

The most valuable feature is the prompt for a number so that you're sure what you're seeing is what you're agreeing to.

It would be an improvement if Authenticator made it easier to recover the app if you reboot your cellphone and lose access.

Authenticator is stable.

The initial setup is straightforward.

Don't delay implementing this solution, it's the best thing you can do for your identity protection. I would rate Authenticator as nine out of ten.

I am using this product for user authentication.

I think the documentation and configuration are both areas that need improvement. 

The product changes and gets updated, but the documentation doesn't keep pace.

The initial setup could be simplified.

I would like to see a better UI tool.

The company has been using this solution for approximately four years.

We are using the latest version.

It's a stable solution. We have not experienced any issues.

Microsoft Azure Active Directory Premium is a scalable solution. It scales very well.

We all use this solution daily. We are a team of five the company.

The most valuable feature is the ease of scalability.

The initial setup is fairly complex.

We are a smaller company and it only took us two days to deploy.

We did not use an integrator, we used in-house knowledge.

If you are familiar with Microsoft, this is the product to use.

I would rate Microsoft Azure Active Directory Premium an eight out of ten.

• Office 365 authentication
• SSO for ServiceNow
• SSO for other cloud applications.

Improved user experience with SSO logins.

Keeping the same credentials as Active Directory.

Role-based access controls.

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.

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.
