Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

Microsoft Entra Verified ID emphasizes security and auditing features, notably with two-factor authentication via Microsoft Authenticator. MFA number matching enhances anti-phishing strategies by requiring users to verify numbers on their screens. Integration with on-premises Active Directory eases the transition to cloud-based log management, providing clarity on login activities and fraud detection. Users appreciate the ability to quickly respond to unauthorized access attempts, aided by seamless integration of authentication methods.
  • "The authentication features of Microsoft Entra Verified ID are valuable. As an infrastructure professional, I appreciate the exceptional integration between on-premises Active Directory features and Entra ID."
  • "The MFA number matching feature effectively prevents unauthorized access by phishing bad actors who might obtain email credentials. This feature requires users to verify a number on their screen, ensuring they only approve genuine requests."
  • "The most valuable features of the solution are mainly in the areas of security and auditing."

Room for Improvement

Users suggest several areas of improvement for Microsoft Entra Verified ID. Two-factor authentication creates friction when signing in from different locations and is not user-friendly. There is a need for better biometric integration, especially in standard B2C multi-factor authentication flows. Enhancing device recognition and timings for MFA triggers would be beneficial. Some experiences report issues with MFA processes requiring additional logins. Additionally, the cost of Microsoft Entra Verified ID is a significant concern.
  • "There are issues with the integration of Microsoft Entra Verified ID and MFA. Sometimes, the MFA process doesn't succeed, requiring users to sign out and log back in."
  • "While Microsoft continues to improve the solution, integrating the ID with biometric features could be enhanced, especially in terms of standard B2C flows for multi-factor authentication. Improvements in remembering devices and the timing of MFA triggers could also be beneficial."
  • "The tool's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing

  • "I still feel the pricing is on the higher side for larger customers. They don't pay anything for on-prem Active Directory. Although we receive additional features with Microsoft’s SSO, pricing is an area Microsoft can work on."
  • "The pricing and setup are standard. With Entra, you choose between P1 and P2 licenses. We recommend having at least one P2 license in a company for better alert management, even though P2 is more expensive."
  • "If one is cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the product price as seven."

Popular Use Cases

Microsoft Entra Verified ID is used by organizations primarily for authentication, often serving as a single sign-on for business applications. Deployment occurs in mixed environments, integrating on-prem with cloud services like Office 365 or Azure, facilitated by Azure AD Connect. Some utilize it partially during employee transitions, while others employ it for large migrations, such as moving from VMware Horizon VDI to Azure VDI, especially when transitioning infrastructure to Azure Cloud.

Service and Support

Microsoft Entra Verified ID offers straightforward customer support with good documentation. Users have not reported frequent experiences with technical support and rate it between six and seven out of ten. Verified Support is described as faster but more expensive, while standard support is less responsive and can be inconsistent. Some users find the support from Microsoft occasionally lacking, indicating room for improvement.

Scalability

Microsoft Entra Verified ID is highly scalable, supporting diverse geographies and numerous users. Many companies easily adjust user numbers through licenses, facilitating seamless scalability. Users rate its scalability positively, emphasizing its cloud-based nature and ease of expansion. Daily operations benefit from its flexibility, with usage expanding as demand grows.

Stability

Users find Microsoft Entra Verified ID stable, rating it nine out of ten for reliability. They report it is very stable, with only one global issue occurring during an upgrade, which resolved within an hour. Stability is consistently described as very good.

MFA number-matching enhances security against phishing threats

Pros

"The MFA number matching feature effectively prevents unauthorized access by phishing bad actors who might obtain email credentials. This feature requires users to verify a number on their screen, ensuring they only approve genuine requests. "

Cons

"While Microsoft continues to improve the solution, integrating the ID with biometric features could be enhanced, especially in terms of standard B2C flows for multi-factor authentication. Improvements in remembering devices and the timing of MFA triggers could also be beneficial. "

What is our primary use case?

We have many use cases. We're an MSP that provides security solutions, and we deployed Entra ID for various clients, primarily for authentication to Office 365 or Azure. We also integrate it with on-prem environments using Azure AD Connect, now called Entra Server, to push identities into Azure Active Directory or Entra ID.

How has it helped my organization?

Entra allows us and our customers to access workloads on Azure and Office 365 securely. We've integrated it with other applications to provide a single pane of glass for user identification, eliminating the need for multiple IDs.

Our clients trust Entra ID as an identity service. We have deployed it in many places and always push it to our customers. We tell them that if they have a built-in application identity, they should change it to Entra ID and create application registrations and one identity.

MFA can do number matching, and the attacker can't get past it. We have lots of cases like that. Unfortunately, it's really hard to eliminate phishing completely

Has exceptional integration between on-premises Active Directory features

Pros

"The authentication features of Microsoft Entra Verified ID are valuable. As an infrastructure professional, I appreciate the exceptional integration between on-premises Active Directory features and Entra ID. "

Cons

"There are issues with the integration of Microsoft Entra Verified ID and MFA. Sometimes, the MFA process doesn't succeed, requiring users to sign out and log back in. "

What is our primary use case?

We started using Microsoft Entra Verified ID when the Active Directory was changed, and we needed to onboard customers from on-premises to Azure Cloud. For instance, we started using the solution when we did a significant migration from VMware Horizon VDI to Azure VDI. This was our first introduction to it for Azure VDI customers.

How has it helped my organization?

Microsoft Entra Verified ID helped us with single sign-on and logging. It organized everything, allowing a single sign-on process for our cloud customers. We no longer manage multiple domain controllers because Microsoft handles everything, improving our efficiency.
