"The single sign-on is very convenient for us."
"Conditional Access is a helpful feature because it allows us to provide better security for our users."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of scalability."
"One of the most important is the Conditional Access. It helps affect a Zero Trust strategy positively."
"It's definitely both stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication platform."
"Azure Active Directory provides access to resources in a very secure manner. We can detect which user is logging in to access resources on the cloud. It gives us a comprehensive audit trace in terms of from where a user signed in and whether a sign-in is a risky sign-in or a normal sign-in. So, there is a lot of security around the access to resources, which helps us in realizing that a particular sign-in is not a normal sign-in. If a sign-in is not normal, Azure Active Directory automatically blocks it for us and sends us an email, and unless we allow that user, he or she won't be able to log in. So, the User Identity Protection feature is the most liked feature for me in Azure Active Directory."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Technical support could be better."
"An area where there is room for improvement is the ease of use of the dashboards."
"From time to time it takes a little bit of time to replicate, with some of the applications—something like five to 10 minutes. I know that the design is not supposed to enable real-time replication with some of the applications. But, as an administrator, I would like to run a specific change or modification in Azure Active Directory and see it replicated almost immediately."
"The ease of use regarding finding audit information for users could also be improved."
"Transitioning to the cloud is very difficult. They need the training to make it easier."
"The dashboard and interface could be better. It would be ideal if it was easier to use."
"Four years ago, we had an issue with Azure AD. We wanted to reverse sync from Azure AD to on-prem Active Directory, but we couldn't achieve this. Azure AD could connect only in one way, for example, from your site to Azure. If you needed to do the reverse and connect from Azure to on-prem, there was no way to achieve it. We asked Microsoft, and they told us that they don't support it."
"The ability to manage and authenticate against on-premises solutions would be beneficial."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"Lacks the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
