The tool is designed to streamline user access. In our organization, the complexity arises not from the tool itself but from its configuration and legacy architecture closely tied to its operating model. We are undertaking a program to review and address these challenges, aiming to uncouple the tool from legacy constraints. We utilize Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) as the primary tool to manage temporary workers. Azure Active Directory helps us manage access for external individuals joining the network. It provided us with flexibility in migrating workloads to the cloud. Previously, using Citrix for external access, integrating it with Active Directory, and transitioning to Azure Virtual Desktop has streamlined our approach. Microsoft is investing in Entra ID, recognizing the evolving landscape of distributed networks and the increasing importance of cybersecurity. It helps us deal with challenges in managing access to systems. It offers a potential competitor, even against established products like CyberArk. I rate it a seven out of ten.
