Has significantly influenced our security strategy as it helps us plan attacks and take initial steps in compromising networks
I haven't explored cost-saving aspects or utilized integration capabilities within BloodHound. Additionally, I haven't used AI features in Broadcom for threat detection yet, leaving that to our IT team to handle. If you're already familiar with the field, learning to use BloodHound Enterprise shouldn't be too tricky as the UI is user-friendly and the features are straightforward. I'd rate my overall experience around an eight, mainly due to occasional performance issues and deeper operational concerns. However, in terms of features, UI, and ease of use, it's top-notch.

Identity protection has unified access control and delivers faster, risk-based threat response
The licensing for Microsoft Entra ID Protection is somewhat complex depending on whether you have an E5 or E3 licensing model, so improving the licensing models would make it a lot easier to use. The cost could always be lower; at the moment, I would say it is reasonable, but to get the full suite, you need to go for at least an E5 license, which can be very expensive. Occasionally, when we are trying to do something different in terms of integrating into a new vendor or platform, especially with some of the new SaaS platforms, there are not many out-of-the-box solutions available, so we have to build custom solutions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The custom Cypress queries in BloodHound Enterprise is the most valuable feature."
"I use conditional access most of the time."
"The reverse proxy feature provides additional security that is not available in other solutions such as SailPoint and Dell."
"The primary and most valuable aspect of Azure AD identity is its ability to function seamlessly on both on-premise and cloud infrastructure, eliminating the need for extensive updates. However, this dual solution can pose vulnerabilities that require substantial support and security measures in the on-premise environment. Despite the challenges, it is currently not feasible to completely abandon AD, especially for companies in the sales and energy sectors. The integration with Microsoft Defender is crucial for enhancing security, making identity and security the primary focus and purpose of Azure AD."
"The valuable features of Entra ID Protection include providing me visibility of my entire estate, managing access, and having a level of control."
"The solution helps us with authentication."
"The features we find most effective for identity security include access reviews, two-factor authentication, and modification."
"We can solve many problems without deep knowledge of coding, and it's very quick to solve problems with the no-code, low-code solution of Microsoft for us."
"These features ease the job of security analysts, providing a better vision of user activities and potential risks."
 

Cons

"A few months ago, there was a problem with the digesters having trouble importing data from the normal digesters, a significant issue that needed attention."
"Entra ID lacks a function to synchronize from the cloud to the local directory. This is a significant issue since there is no write-back feature from the cloud to local, which would allow me to use my own credentials from the cloud tenant securely."
"There is room for improvement in the ability for Entra ID Protection to inherit roles and configurations from whatever solution I am migrating from, so that these don't have to be built from the ground up during the implementation process."
"Identity labeling and sensitivity needs improvement to be comparable to Dell."
"I rate the quality of support at four out of ten because of inefficiencies in the ticket handling process. Tickets often bounce from person to person, requiring the sharing of information multiple times."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution is not optimized to work with Mac devices on a granular level. They work seamlessly with Windows but have a lot to improve to work with Mac devices. It also needs to improve stability and scalability."
"Identity protection and trust issues, particularly in hybrid environments, could be addressed better with Microsoft Entra ID Protection. This would aid connectivity concerns."
"The product's initial setup phase is not easy."
