User Testimonials
	Microsoft Entra External ID
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft In our organisation we use Microsoft Entra External ID primarily to enable non-attenders to remotely login to our tenant and access pre-prepared educational resources. As well as access to tutors, pupils can also communicate with centralised staff who can support them to gain an education. Utilising our external tenant configuration we can develop and deploy our own in house apps to unpin this support intervention. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Microsoft One of the things that Microsoft Entra External ID does really well is creating user logins, accounts and profile. It is very easy to create them, manage them and delete them. It is fast and reliant. Limit access or authorization feature. We can allow different levels of authorization and access. So that not all the employees would have access to all the data. Only some relaible employees would have access and power to change anything. Mutli factor authentication feature is also a really good feature to secure data. Even overseas vendors need MFS to login which gives double protection to our data. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Microsoft Troubleshooting diagnostic logs effectively requires VS Code Group and role management requires additional effort The programming model (XML) could use some developer experience love Incentivized Lars Kemmann Principal Architect Read full review
Usability	Microsoft Microsoft Entra External ID is an all round solid product, and certainly delivers the solution to our needs well. Through use we found that Pupil's become 'experts in avoidance', if they can forget their login details or indeed their device used for MFA, they will and then use that as the excuse for not accessing/completing their assignments. If more MFA options were available (such as delegated MFA) this would really help iron out our entire end user experiences Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	Microsoft Having monthly active users billing was cost-effective. Helped with the IT support that was already managing the Azure platform of the company; this helped to manage the costs better and optimize them. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
