Microsoft Entra ID vs. Silverfort

That one is tough. It's just easy to integrate the sign-on portion with other products from other companies. Like BluePoint or Podint. It's very easy to integrate the user information with others. Using Android ID to register an application with other companies' applications.

• The first thing is that it's a really good platform to make a whole inventory of your hardware and software that you already have in the organization. It's very simple. It's very easy to look at what you have in the whole organization. And after that, start applying, for instance, some policies, some solutions in terms of zero trust access using MFA as a second form of authentication. So, these are the ways we use the MTIV platform.

• The only area I would suggest is the name change. Microsoft rebrands a lot, but the apps do the same things, and it gets confusing. If you spend five years learning Microsoft Entra ID or its previous name, and then they change it, you have to adjust. Rebranding app names inside Microsoft Entra ID can be confusing, and the migration is slow. They're trying to upgrade things, but communication has improved a little.

Entra ID is a vital part of our Identity management/administration. With the integrations it has to other Microsoft products, setup and configuration is a breeze. Additionally, Microsoft has been around a long time and have the resources to ensure this product is stable and secure for many years to come. We know it will evolve with time to provide us what we need as technology changes.

Simply because of what I mentioned earlier, the feature set sort of keeps changing and they do a lot of, they integrated with a lot of the other tools and so for users who are not as well seasoned, it may be a little bit more complicated for them to begin working within the tool.

I could probably rate this a 10 but I'm always conservative on giving out perfect scored bt performance has not been a problem for us using Entra ID.

Microsoft has offered Azure Active Directory as a solution for a couple of decades now, so they have seen and anticipated almost any issue that an organization may face and can therefore help. The cloud offering of Azure Active Directory offers some additional "self healing" or monitoring services that can minimize the need for a service call. However, as with most large companies supporting a fast growing market, there may be some gaps in service knowledge (and particularly processing) from the front line / tier one staff as they follow a corporate script at first contact.

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.

My dad was a sales engineer for a competitor, which is SalePoint Identity IQ or whatever they're calling it this year. They complement each other well. It's just that with each new year, with each new iteration, there are more duplicative capabilities. So I've seen some organizations saying, "Well, now I can do things like access reviews, onboarding, offboarding, and identity workflows, all within just Microsoft Entra ID." The solution is that you get out of it what you put into it. If an organization is willing to invest in SalePoint, there are more granular capabilities that I've seen success with, but I would say the core, like 70- 80%, Microsoft Entra ID is able to cover it with not nearly as much identity investment performance. I think you get to functional capabilities faster with something like Microsoft Entra ID.

Scalability is pretty trival for Entra ID. It's not difficult to manage a few or many accounts.

• I don't know. I think we could not do without it. Also, because we have limitations in other systems, like our HR system, which cannot store externals. So for us, Microsoft Entra ID is the master data where we keep everyone connecting to our network. So it's difficult to quantify. It's simply indispensable.
