We are using Microsoft's Educational version of the suite of offerings from Office 365. So far the product looks promising for our need. We have a need to sync our on-premises active directory environment with our cloud environment. We need users to be able to self-manage their credentials as well. We are also looking at using the two-factor authentication portion for users that may have access to sensitive data. And for other users on a if they want to use it basis.,Sync of local on premises with the cloud
Allows for users to manage their credentials
Allows for two-factor authentication,Fortunately we have a higher education campus license so it is not as bad for us, but, in my opinion, the product is otherwise very much over-priced.

Thank goodness there are a lot of resources that can be Googled.,8,It saves admins and helpdesk employees a lot of time by allowing for users to manage their own credentials.
