Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft and others in Microsoft Security Suite."The central authentication server is most valuable. GPOs are useful for user and computer policies."
"Azure AD has features that have helped improve our security posture."
"I like Intune's MDM and MI."
"Technical support has been great."
"Azure Active Directory features have helped improve our security posture. The remote working has been a massive help during the pandemic."
"It has things like conditional access. For example, if someone is accessing sensitive information, then we could force them to do multi-factor authentication. Therefore, we can stop access if it is coming from a location that we did not expect."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to delegate roles to each individual resource, which is great."
"One of the most important is the Conditional Access. It helps affect a Zero Trust strategy positively."
"I like the Microsoft Authenticator app since it comes with two-factor authentication."
"Something that can be improved is their user interface"
"Sometimes, what one customer may like, another may not like it. We have had customers asking, "Why is Microsoft forcing us to do this?" For example, when you use Exchange Server on-premise, then you can customize it for your company and these customizations are unlimited. However, if you use Exchange Online or with Microsoft 365, then your ability to make modifications is limited. So, only the cloud versus is limited."
"Compared to what we can do on-prem, Azure AD lacks a feature for multiple hierarchical groups. For example, Group A is part of group B. Group B is part of group C. Then, if I put someone into group A, which is part of already B, they get access to any system that group B has access to, and that provisioning is automatically there."
"Reading documentation could be simplified. Technical support could also be faster."
"The Cloud Provisioning Agent cannot provision a lot of the information that AD Connect does. For starters, the lightweight version cannot synchronize device information. If you have computers on-premises, the information about them will not be synchronized by the Cloud Provisioning Agent. In addition, if you have a user on the cloud and he changes his password, that information should be written back to the on-premises instance. But that workflow cannot be done with the lightweight agent. It can only be done with the more robust version."
"The solution has not saved costs. While we’ve eliminated some tools, there are some other features that we are dependent on as admin, which are not yet integrated with Azure AD."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"One thing that they need to improve is the cost."
"I must do two-factor authentication when I sign in from a different location. It creates friction. It's not personalized for the end user. I would like to see specific insights."
