Microsoft Entra ID

It addresses security and managing the accounts that we have, and where everybody goes and how everybody accesses Microsoft, it keeps everything organized for us.

• I think managing costs was probably the biggest one as a nonprofit. We're always worried about the financial impact that any product can have. And as licenses change or they are shut down, migrating to the proper product without going over budget is always something we are concerned about. But for the most part, it's been positive. Microsoft works for us as nonprofits to make sure that we get very fair pricing.

Microsoft Entra ID is our cloud-based identity management system. When working remotely, Microsoft Entra ID provides security and visibility regardless of location. We use it to identify both user objects and devices and applications. Microsoft Entra ID not only manages organizational objects but also provides real-time adaptive protection through conditional access and privileged role management.

• Greater visibility
• Greater speed
• Better cost

We use Microsoft Entra ID for security and compliance enhancements and to improve our productivity through MFA, SSO, and detailed access control. For the longest time, we had challenges managing multiple logins and securing user access. We used to maintain different passwords for different apps, which caused confusion and many password reset requests . This tool offered SSO that solved this issue of users sign once and have access to all our apps. Conditional access with MFA helps us block unauthorized access, providing strong security protection. Also, we like that it seamlessly integrates with our Microsoft systems, thus making identity and access management smooth and efficient.

• The tool provides security measures such as user authentication and SSO the help to protect sensitive information within our institution.
• Allow everyone to have single sign-in to our cloud systems, no need to remember multiple passwords, which makes life easier and cuts down on password reset tickets.
• The centralized management feature helps us to manage users, apps, and access permissions from a central location, which in turn improves our productivity.

The main scope is that we have some websites with sensitive information, and we wanted to secure some layers of control. Unauthorized use happens on that platform. We are implementing it for that purpose. And we evaluated different combinations of products and we decided to go with Microsoft Entra ID because it just integrated very nicely with our applications, with the rest of the applications we use.

• It allowed us to deploy new applications faster.

We use Microsoft Entra ID to be the source of truth for all our identity needs. It allows us to create, change and delete users who pass through our organization, and provide access to those users authorized to do so. Microsoft Entra ID is easy to use once you have a bit of time in there, and although there are a few caveats, most of the time it's rock solid and makes identity and security a breeze.

• Conditional access is a game changer, with that you can really control access
• Security and sign in logs are great to provide to auditors
• Setting up MFA was an cinch, and security is tighter now
