I highly recommend Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) as an excellent single sign on platform. The features I like the most are the multi-factor authentication and authorization. Its single sign-on provides flexibility and helps because users don't want to remember so many passwords when logging in. Once you log in, you have access to all the applications. It also enables us to provide backend access controls to our users, especially when it comes to groups.
Another valuable feature is Identity and Access Management. As an IT admin, this feature allows me to manage access for users and groups. This product is easy to use and easy to manage.
We are quite happy with the metrics and reports, as well as the logging of risks, such as attempts to sign in from different areas
This is a scalable product. You can scale it to any number of users and any number of servers, and there is no issue.
My advice for anybody who is considering Azure Active Directory is that if they are going to use other Microsoft services, like Office 365, then this is the perfect solution to implement.
I’ve found tech phone support to be inconsistent, but I like the support documentation on the Azure AD web page; it’s really helpful. If there are any updates, then there’s a section for notes in the documentation that explains it.
If someone’s using a different stack, like Google, and you choose a different cloud provider like Google or Amazon, (instead of Microsoft), I’d say it’s still good to use Azure Active Directory. The costs are relatively cheap compared to others.

Various factors are to be considered before making a strong recommendation. The most important one these days would be the cost of the SSO solution. Apart from cost, one need to understand the use cases, user base and number of concurrent users during peak usage period, etc. Once all these information are recorded, it would be best to evaluate the available tools and rank them against each use case. Some tools can perform well even with a large user base and can be scaled up in no time. If the organization is large and has a great focus in stability, agility, and availability, expect that most of the available features are OTB. Then, you can consider going with Ping Identity or Forgerock products. Okta is a great option, too. Also, EntraID has joined the race but they still have a lot of catching up to do. However, cost may be an added advantage if you want to explore EntraID.
