Microsoft Entra ID Governance Reviews

We use the solution to maintain access reviews, govern external identities, and manage things.

We recently found a great solution for our external identities, which we have been struggling with a lot. The tool gives us the entitlement management capability of removing guest accounts automatically from the tenant. Previously, your guest accounts would be there unless you explicitly removed them. The solution gives me the capability to automatically move guest accounts from the tenant without any manual intervention.

Other governance solutions, like SailPoint, have different modules for managing access packages, and they have a very easy way of managing those identities and access from a single console. Microsoft Entra ID Governance should improve its capability to manage identities and access from a single console.

The tool should include more automation capabilities where I can even use existing users. If I create an access package or access reviews, the solution makes it easy for me to integrate new users. I would like to see the existing users governed by Microsoft Entra ID Governance.

I have been using Microsoft Entra ID Governance for five to six years.

I rate the solution a seven or eight out of ten for stability.

I don't think the solution is quite mature enough to be used by enterprise businesses. However, medium-sized organizations can take advantage of the tool because it would be cost-effective for them.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

I don't think Microsoft engineers are very comfortable with Microsoft Entra ID Governance. Since this product and its features are new, I think the Microsoft engineers struggle a bit to provide solutions. I'm not saying they are not trying, but they take some time to provide solutions after understanding the customer use cases.

I have previously used SailPoint. Compared to Microsoft Entra ID Governance, SailPoint has more features. Microsoft Entra ID Governance is not there yet, but I think they're trying hard and will be there soon.

The solution's initial setup is almost out of the box and not quite complicated. However, I would love to see a more detailed step-by-step approach in Microsoft documentation, which would help users like me use the product more broadly. A little improvement on the documentation part would help.

The solution's pricing is not low but reasonable. I would like to see the licensing in a different way because there are still some complexities around the licensing model. The tool has a Step-Up License and other things. One easy solution for licensing would be beneficial.

Any SaaS solutions, like Salesforce, that we have in the environment can easily be integrated with Microsoft Entra ID Governance single sign-on. I would recommend the product to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
