We performed a comparison between Atlassian Crowd and Microsoft Entra ID based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are predominantly in the directory and development spaces."
"One standout feature is the capability to configure various authentication and authorization methods from diverse user directories."
"The solution has a variety of tools. Two of the most valuable features are the ability to create users and to replicate the user account from on-premise to the cloud."
"The security features, such as attack surface rules and conditional access rules, are the most valuable aspects of Azure AD."
"Azure AD allowed us to get rid of servers and other hardware running at our offices. We moved everything to the cloud. Once we set up roles and permissions, it's only a matter of adding people and removing people from different groups and letting permissions flow through."
"We can have an audit and we can easily audit logs."
"Installation is straightforward. It only took a couple of hours to set everything up."
"The most beneficial feature would be the effectiveness of having a hybrid set-up."
"The most valuable features in Active Directory are the password writeback product and the MDM technology."
"My two preferred features are conditional access and privileged identity management."
"There's a need for effective group membership management, especially for corporate programs."
"It makes you more efficient, but you have to optimize what you're doing before you get into the software."
"You can manage the users from the Office 365 administration center, and you can manage them from Azure Active Directory. Those are two different environments, but they do the same things. They can gather the features in one place, and it might be better if that place were Azure."
"A couple of years ago, I experienced some difficulty in implementing the solutions, the services of Azure AD. In one instance, I was not able to configure Azure AD for a registration. This was two or three years ago. However, currently, the documentation is very clear and there are no loopholes or anything that could hinder even a simple IT administrator to implement these services."
"Technical support could be faster."
"Lacks integration between applications and phones."
"For example, there were some authentication features that, for security purposes, had certain limitations. Those limitations still exist, but the portal now has options so that the customers can make custom features to manage their identity."
"The dashboard and interface could be better. It would be ideal if it was easier to use."
"I would like it if Intune could manage MacOS or iOS directly. Right now, we have to use a third-party solution."
"Be aware that it may not work perfectly globally yet. There are still glitches with the solution in Africa."
