Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."Microsoft Entra ID's valuable features include integration capabilities, a simplified Active Directory approach, scalability, conditional access, and privileged identity management."
"The single sign-on across multiple platforms is really the true advantage here. That gives you one ID and password for access to all your systems. You don't need to manage a plethora of different user IDs and passwords to all the systems that you're going to access."
"Coming from a traditional on-premises Active Directory infrastructure, it is purely a SaaS platform. It is global. It is evergreen. It is always evolving. It is core to the Microsoft Ecosystem."
"With Azure Active Directory we were able to manage with different options the access for different users."
"Azure Active Directory's single sign-on feature has been helpful because users don't need to authenticate again and again each time they access it. Users only need to sign in the first time, and Azure handles everything. We haven't experienced any errors or security-related issues in the past four years. Many people use our protection servers from outside, requiring multi-factor authentication. Each authentication is logged precisely."
"The single sign-on of the solution is the most valuable aspect."
"Two very important features in terms of security are governance and compliance through the Conditional Access policies and Azure Log Analytics."
"Multi-factor authentication really secures our environments and gives us the flexibility to use location-based policies. Azure AD also gives us a lot of flexibility in our scope of integration."
"OneSpan Digipass is very useful, easy to use and work with."
"The ability to manage and authenticate against on-premises solutions would be beneficial."
"Compared to what we can do on-prem, Azure AD lacks a feature for multiple hierarchical groups. For example, Group A is part of group B. Group B is part of group C. Then, if I put someone into group A, which is part of already B, they get access to any system that group B has access to, and that provisioning is automatically there."
"Technical support could be better."
"I would like to dive into some of the things that we saw today around the workflows at this Microsoft event. I cannot say that they need to make it better because I do not have much experience with it, but something that is always applicable to Microsoft is that they need to be able to integrate with their competitors. If you look at IDP, they do not integrate with Okta."
"I would like it if Intune could manage MacOS or iOS directly. Right now, we have to use a third-party solution."
"Its integration with open-source applications can be improved. I know that they are working on open-source authentication methods for integration with open-source applications, but they can make it more open."
"The solution can improve the educational portion because it is an administration cost."
"The only improvement would be for everything to be instant in terms of applying changes and propagating them to systems."
"At times, when the user is trying to scan and activate the license, it comes up with an error code."
