Robin Schechinger - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Owner at Telekom Deutschland GmbH
A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management
I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.

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 most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
"As an end-user, I find the experience to be quite seamless. My main advantage is that I only need to manage one login and one two-factor authentication method to access all the necessary tools. I don't have to set up separate logins and authentication for each application."
"The tool is simple and you can find a lot of tutorials, and videos on YouTube that can help you."
"The deployment process is straightforward. It takes a few hours to complete."
"The valuable features of Entra ID Protection include providing me visibility of my entire estate, managing access, and having a level of control."
"I recommend this product overall."
"Microsoft's support is commendable. Their response time is quick, and they handle inquiries effectively, ensuring ongoing support processes."
"The protections for handling identity threats in Microsoft Entra ID Protection, such as the automated remediation, are working effectively."
"The reverse proxy feature provides additional security that is not available in other solutions such as SailPoint and Dell."
 

Cons

"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
"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."
"Microsoft has room for improvement in simplifying their integration with third-party solutions and making the licensing model more understandable."
"Integrating some notifications, not necessarily all, but at least for important events or alerts, would be beneficial as it would function as a team solution or something similar."
"A potential area of improvement in Microsoft Entra ID Protection could include backup-level capability or snapshot capability."
"Support or customer service with Microsoft Entra ID Protection can be challenging because you can get lost in the queue. You can open up a case, but sometimes it can be an hour or even a day between communications."
"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."
"Microsoft has not offered control over how they calculate high or low-risk scenarios. While they mention if a low risk is found by Microsoft, the triggered policy isn't customizable."
"Azure AD could improve by enhancing the availability of specialized courses for security, such as NETSCOUT security or other relevant certifications. It would be beneficial to have specific courses for security, to provide in-depth knowledge and skills related to Azure AD. While there are micro-learning resources available for various concepts, many people in the IT industry may not have the time to go through all the courses to properly configure and utilize Azure Active Directory. Simplifying the implementation process and making it easier for individuals to join a company with Azure AD could also be considered areas for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Azure Active Directory Identity Protection is not very expensive."
"From one to ten, if one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool a seven out of ten."
"The product cost is on the expensive side."
"The price of Azure AD is not expensive."
"The pricing is competitive in the SMA segment and runs $5-$6 per user."
