Avatier
Ease of use and a very customer focused catalog process. Would like service now functionality implemented with the tool so teams can user 1 work tool to work from. The access governance process is very well designed and extremely useful for our organization to be able to identify users that have the inappropriate access levels for their current roles

Entra ID is particularly suited in highly regulated environments where conditional access can be applied via device filters, app filters, locations, and groups. It is less suited in organizations seeking to secure a perimeter based on Zero-trust principles as the first line of Attack and that have not yet invested in a comprehensive endpoint security solution.

Pros
Avatier
  • It allows users to reset their passwords on their own.
  • It allows our users to request access to VPN and shared drive on their own.
  • It allows us to terminate accounts quickly and easily.

  • The conditional access piece works really well for us. We in the past have had situations where, and you've seen it also in the news like SIM swaps that are happening, the attacks that are happening. We don't have to just solely rely on an application, a cloud application, having MFA, et cetera. We now have it applied to a larger number of applications and it effectively has stopped attacks the coming across.

Cons
Avatier
  • The only issue I have come across is that if a user begins to reset their password, but doesn't remember all of their security questions, sometimes the tool triggers a reset even if they didn't successfully reset themselves. This becomes a problem in an environment that has password complexity requirements, such as not being able to change your password again within a 24 hour period.

  • One of which is there is a very fast rate of UI changes which impacts users who need to use it on a daily basis and for users not to experience with Microsoft, it leads to many manuals being outdated too soon.

MSFT Entra ID has been essential for managing our geographically dispersed team. We're confident that it will scale with us as grow, and we'll be able to take advantage of additional security and ID management features as they become necessary. Being able to centrally manage our user access from anywhere with a small support team is such a relief.

I think it can be hard to manage, but only because it is so big. Any time you have a lot you can do the management of it gets harder. They do a good job making it good to use and document the product very well.

I have not needed to engage support for anything at this time. I have been able to find the answers either online or in a knowledgebase. I tried to skip the question but it would not let me, so I rated a 9 based on other interactions with Microsoft support I have had

Make sure you use a good partner. Our implementation was a bit longer and more problematic than we expected. Our partner got it done, but, in my opinion, some of their inexperience and staffing issues were evident.

The Microsoft Entra ID reaches to height in comparison to other applications of Google cloud console and Amazon Web Services due to its amazing feature of provisioning and Microsoft Graph APIs. Plus ease of implementation of single sign on feature to different apps as an identity provider is a cherry on the cake
