We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Azure Bastion makes it easy to provide quick virtual machine access to our customers.""The most significant advantage lies in its runbook features, particularly beneficial for our infrastructure team.""The ability to operate the product with scripting is excellent.""It provides all the security to us. Without getting on the internet, we can access our servers. We can access our desktop through our web browser. We don't need to run the mstsc command and login to the VM. All those things are not required.""As an Azure consultant, for me, it is the best way to give the administrator access as you can manage the permission - including who can access Bastion.""The product's setup is easy.""The connection to virtual machines is very useful.""The interface is available in the edit portal."

"I like the Microsoft Authenticator app since it comes with two-factor authentication."

More Microsoft Entra Verified ID Pros →

Cons
"We are not able to copy and paste files directly into the server over the patch host. We have to transfer files over to Azure Storage.""The protocol speed could be faster.""The solution breaks down sometimes.""There are some challenges because Bastion is more compatible with Edge but not with the other browsers. As an organization, it doesn't make sense that we have to use only Edge. We should be able to access Bastion over Chrome, Mozilla, or Opera. It should be our choice.""While general support is valuable, having a detailed breakdown of the specific issues would contribute to a more streamlined and efficient resolution process.""When you have a boot issue on Windows, you cannot use Azure Bastion to fix it. You have to use the Azure console or the VM console, and it is very limited.""You are charged for retrieving your own data."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is a lower decision point than high-quality security for our organization. Better security comes at a cost, but it's worth it, and that's what we tell our customers."
  • "Azure Bastion's pricing is good."
  • "It does not save money for us."

    Overview

    Azure Bastion is a service you deploy that lets you connect to a virtual machine using your browser and the Azure portal. The Azure Bastion service is a fully platform-managed PaaS service that you provision inside your virtual network. It provides secure and seamless RDP/SSH connectivity to your virtual machines directly from the Azure portal over TLS. When you connect via Azure Bastion, your virtual machines do not need a public IP address, agent, or special client software.

    We believe the future of global identity will not be centralized in a single company or government, but rather a trust fabric of centralized and decentralized approaches. Open standards like those found in Entra Verified ID, will be required to ensure interoperability. We will leverage Microsoft’s existing penetration into F500 and governments to bootstrap and then extend from our 500M user footprint to 9B+. By leading the way, we can become the preferred provider that builds on Microsoft Entra ID's best-in-class security and compliance to now include best-in-class verifiability and privacy.
