We performed a comparison between Azure Key Vault and Microsoft Entra ID based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The GUI was quite easy for me to use."
"With Azure Key Vault, we can generate our own keys and then import them inside the system, which provides a higher level of security than provider-managed keys."
"The best feature is the integrity of the .NET applications in our company."
"Azure Key Vault is very affordable, with charges of less than a dollar for over ten thousand keys."
"It provides a secure and centralized location for managing and protecting sensitive information, making it an essential component for enhancing the security."
"There is advanced data protection available. We're working in a highly regulated environment, and this is essential to us."
"Azure Key Vault allows only identified users to get the credentials and rotates the keys automatically."
"I am satisfied with the product overall."
"We have not had any formal issues with scalability."
"The security features are great. They will report in advance to you in the case of suspicious activity."
"My two preferred features are conditional access and privileged identity management."
"The portal version of the Azure active directory is pretty robust."
"The self-password reset if it's enabled and configured properly, really helps a company be able to reset rather than getting IT involved."
"This solution is less time-consuming. We don't have to hire as many resources to give permissions to a particular user or group for any application."
"It helps us with maintaining enterprise identities."
"The single sign-on of the solution is the most valuable aspect."
"Azure Key Vault takes time to fetch values while integrating it with the code written in .NET format."
"If the region where the Azure Key Vault data center is hosted goes down, it would be a cumbersome task since our company will have to come up with a different Azure Key Vault and migrate all the secrets or keys into it."
"Azure needs to provide versions of Key Vault that are suitable for different sizes of companies."
"If multiple clouds are to be used it can be difficult and a third party should assist in the implementation."
"The platform's configuration process could be easier."
"The integration with Thales HSM is complex and is not out-of-the-box. Uploading the keys was quite a tedious process."
"The solution needs to improve reliability and protection."
"Better integration with other third-party cloud providers, such as AWS and GCP, should be there. That's something I expect from a Microsoft-built product."
"I would like to see a better delegation of access. For instance, we want to allow different groups within the company to manage different elements of Azure AD, but I need more granularity in delegating access."
"Microsoft Authenticator is as easy as Google Authenticator, but it is not open to all types of applications. Google Authenticator is integrated with other third-party platforms and applications, whereas Microsoft Authenticator is not. It should have more integration with third-party platforms and applications."
"The product needs to be more user-friendly."
"The robustness of the conditional access feature of the zero trust strategy to verify users is adequate but not comprehensive."
"We previously used Microsoft's technical support, which was excellent; they were very responsive. Now, we use a CSP, and their support is lacking, so I rate them five out of ten."
"If Microsoft can give us a way to see where this product is running, from a backend perspective, then it would be great."
"I would like it if Intune could manage MacOS or iOS directly. Right now, we have to use a third-party solution."
"On-premise capabilities for information and identity management need improvement."
