What advice do you have for others considering Microsoft Active Directory?

Microsoft Active Directory can be a suitable choice if you want a suite of Microsoft products like PowerPoint and other Office tools. However, the choice between Google and Microsoft depends on the company's nature of business. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We already have experience integrating Microsoft Active Directory with other Microsoft Azure products, so it doesn't need to be checked. Third-party integrations are mainly for use cases related to external needs. From my experience, I would rate Microsoft Active Directory around seven or eight out of ten.

The solution streamlined our company's user management and authentication since it helps us to monitor user activities. The solution's ability to support our organization's device and user access control stems from the fact that there is a need for us to manage the hierarchy in our company. My company has different hierarchies, so we have used Microsoft Active Directory to manage the hierarchy level in our organization. I recommended the product to those who plan to use it to use the tool to monitor and analyze the use of devices and data by employees. The solution's scalability and maintenance help grow our business environment. Since we are an organization that works five days a week, the maintenance part is taken care of on Saturdays or Sundays, which may fall on the second or fourth week of the month. My company regularly maintains and updates the product. The benefit from the use of the product stems from the fact that it helps our company to monitor and verify the details of employees.

There are certain scenarios where an Azure or cloud-based system might be unsuitable.

My suggestion to others is they should learn what they need to use Active Directory for. I have experience in creating users in the past, but my role here is different and I don't handle that task.

It is best to figure out what you need and proceed accordingly. I rate Microsoft Active Directory a ten out of ten.

The solution is one of the best in the world and includes B2C and C2C features that allow guest access, external access, and cross-authenticating two organizations. There is no comparable tool that provides the full range of features offered with the solution. Before choosing a license, think like an architect and do a feasibility study to determine the critical features you need rather than just selecting the most expensive license with all available features. Look at your environment to select the best solution. For example, if you deploy emails in G Suite or IBM Lotus Cloud there is no point in utilizing the solution. But if you want to migrate email from G Suite or Dropbox to Office 365, then the solution can handle delegation of users and file permissions via SharePoint and Active Directory. I rate the solution a ten out of ten because it is the best solution available in the market. The solution has a few log issues but it is still rated a ten because there is no comparable option. If you have a BMW with minor issues, you can go with a Mercedes-Benz or Rolls-Royce so there are replacement options. But the solution stands alone with no real competitors.

I rate Windows Server Active Directory nine out of 10. If you are planning to use the solution, I would take advantage of group policies. Everyone who wants to use Active Directory must be careful to include group policies.
