Microsoft
It is especially good for organizations that are otherwise in the Microsoft ecosystem (Microsoft 365 applications). Microsoft Entra ID is really well supported sign-in method in various SaaS-applications and they often have step-by-step guides how to deploy the SSO with Microsoft Entra ID. It's less suitable for organizations that might use other productivity tools than M365 or do not have Windows-based computers.

The risk of interception or manipulation by hackers is reduced. It manages to be combined with other means of authentication, they allow the developer's software to be completed with the AMF software. The application tests the user's rights and links him to its services and data. The authentication of the interested party is one of the many keys to this process.

  • It is recommended to introduce authentication software using a phased approach.
  • This authentication software can also be used via the risk-based authentication approach.

Cons
Microsoft
  • Probably the most primary thing is just the interface itself. It's frequently changing and so oftentimes we kind of have to go back and redocument our processes for our IT staff because the steps that they would take to perform a task one month. Now it's a totally different staff, new dashboard, even a new name for the product or the feature. So it would be nice if that stuff was a little bit more consistent.

  • This mechanism certainly allows to protect a work site, but it can be expensive from an application point of view.
  • It is unavoidable to precisely verify the user at the launch of the workstation and/or at the connection to its application using the measures of the security policy and also to show that the authentication procedure is correctly applied.

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.

Usability
Microsoft
I mean it's pretty good. It is click, click. I mean, oftentimes I can go to the expert or layer two support to get help. Suddenly I go to them. So it has to be pretty useful to be honest. I do a lot of, and there's a lot of, you could do research quickly online to find out how to do certain things. I think that's the only thing we can improve to in terms of kind of a best practice path is setting up it. But because I'm it profess of tons of years in co-management services, I can figure it out. But for others they may not be able to figure it out. You still need an IT person of course to translate all of that. But to me pretty straightforward. I come from the days of directory from 2008, 2000, Microsoft server 2000.

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.

We've used other Microsoft products and we've also used some standalone products, like each application you can have its own identity, so we've looked at some of those too, but we try to use the Entra ID as much as possible because it offers a wider range of reliability.

A user communications neighbor serves as an immediate access gate to all applications to which the appropriate permission has been provided. The end user will simply have to have a single effectively secure signal. we get the authentication required to be able to verify a user. This provides greater fixity, speed and also efficiency of the connection.
