Microsoft Entra ID - Must have tool for Large Enterprises
- Application SSO management
- Application Auth using App registrations
- Conditional Access policies
- External user management
- Sometimes Azure just breaks and doesn't show proper details

November 29, 2023
Easy to implement, Quick solution for Authentication Needs!
- The SDK implementation is easy and quick with .NET
- We did not face any issues with the integration with our app
- Microsoft Entra ID was fast and secure
- Entra IDs dashboard got a bit complex than previous
- There should be a good and cheaper support plan for Entra ID issues
- Vendor lock-in
November 20, 2023
One of the best tool in Market for Authentication and Authorization
- Reliable: We can rely on the authentication process and protocols it uses.
- Fault-tolerant: Because of multiple DCs,,, its fault-tolerant so easy life for us engineers
- Easy to manage: UI is easy to understand
- It should have an in-built password generation tool that generates passwords based on set AD password policies, and we can use that to reset user passwords.
- There should be a one-click feature to check the resultant GPOs being applied to any machine or user.

Entra ID review
- Syncing accounts
- Provisioning account
- Providing a hybrid envionment
- The interface could be better.
- Reporting is not very reliable and leaves off important information
- Consistency is lacking as Microsoft has changed Azure and Entra multiple times.
November 17, 2023
An obvious choice for any large or small business firmly planted in the Microsoft ecosystem
- SSO across all Microsoft platforms
- Easy to manage users and privileges
- Easy to implement MFA options
- Support has been less responsive than we'd like. Sometimes, responses/callbacks can take days.
- There seem to be some credential conflicts with users who had "personal" accounts in the past using the same email address.
- Would like more options for chat-based troubleshooting, rather than phone or email.

An end-to-end user and identity management solution
- The most used and useful feature is 'Privileged Identity Management' which helps us to not only limit the assignment of privileged roles but also to monitor and regulate the assignments with a variety of filters.
- 'Conditional Access' is another feature which can be marked as one of USPs of Microsoft Entra ID. The kind of granularity and security that this feature allows is something that prevent a lot of attacks on the identity perimeter.
- I personally love the simplicity and security of the 'Cross-tenant synchronization' feature of Microsoft Entra ID. It makes the collaboration process easier without making any compromises in the security aspect.
- While a very popular feature, but I feel 'Identity Protection' has some improvement scope like improving the delay of alert triggering, provide more details on the suspicious activities and possibly through a simpler UX.
- I think 'Identity Secure Score' dashboard should have some more detailed informational view instead of just providing some generic best practices and then re-directing to the M365 Defender portal.
- 'Per-User MFA' should now either be deprecated or else should now be re-branded and re-worked to support conditional access policies specifically for combined registration policies.

Fortifying Business Security with Seamless Authentication
- Microsoft Entra ID's biometric authentication improves security and streamlines user access through facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, which are reliable and practical.
- Users can easily confirm their identities using biometrics, smart cards, or PINs, increasing security without disrupting business operations.
- Microsoft Entra ID provides us with a thorough security comprehension by allowing us to effectively manage user identities, regulate access entitlements, and track authentication events.
- Initial deployment and configuration may require careful preparation and experience.
- The program may require a lot of resources, particularly during heavy traffic.
- Additionally, we occasionally encountered compatibility issues with outdated systems, necessitating further adaptations for seamless integration.

Entra ID by Microsoft: The Next Level of Authentication
- Manage users from one interface.
- Easy to check user activity in case of an audit.
- Adding permissions to an application so it can send emails for example using graph API
- A lot of good features are paywalled behind expensive monthly subscriptions.
- Would be nice to have an option even if paid to conserve more than 7 days of user activity logs.
- Having the option to add some paid features without buying a bundle.
- The use has given us the reason that until now, with Entra ID, we have had a superior user experience than what we have had with other programs according to the fact that logging is super easy and very fast and the multicloud environment allows access from anywhere easily.
- Identity management is easy; I place a strong point on the visibility and control given to the applications. I believe that in this sense, they have made an effort to create a safe, intuitive and easy-to-learn environment for the average user.
- Authentication and access to data are strong; they have an encryption mode that protects each kb, this makes us feel safe.
- The integration of apps from Workforce is very convenient, you can integrate from any device even when you are traveling and this does not generate any inconvenience, blocking, etc.
- I consider only one aspect to be wrong, which is the cost structure. First, I could talk about the structure model provided by the vendors. It is a very complicated spreadsheet to understand for any user who is not from the IT department. Let's say that if you want to request budget and approve a budget you do not have the capacity for sufficient information at the moment to justify the purchase, why are there concepts only understandable for an IT engineer, I think this should be simplified for the reading comprehension of any individual, a simple spreadsheet, brief, and with plans for use only so that we can understand the marketing and financial areas of each company.

Microsoft Entra ID bridged the gap for our users.
- Single Sign-On.
- Multi factor Authentication (MFA).
- Microsoft 365 User Management.
- Depth of the administration menus often makes things hard to find.
- Some basic, security-centric features are only available with paid per-user subscriptions -- such as restricting logins based on country.
- Reporting and alerting is limited.
September 26, 2023
Great product, but you'll pay for it
- Conditional Access Rules
- Logs (limited time by default)
- Integration with 3rd party
- Logs (security should be a basic, not a paid feature)
- Price (you can do lot of things but must of them depend on the license, and the most interesting ones are always on the top one)
- Stop changing names (this was Azure AD before, no need to change names, it can be confusing some times)
September 26, 2023
Entra ID a simple overview
- User management
- Role Management
- Multi factor authentication
- They could stop changing things so often, hard to find things if you don't use them frequently.
- Occasional outages are annoying, and the alerts not terribly helpful sometimes. they tell you when something is down, but don't always notify when its back up.
- Things are deprecated fairly often, so don't get too invested in one way of doing things, you may have to change how things work in the future.

Amazing identity management and security

- User authentication intelligence that identifies unusual behavior and flags of blocks suspicious login attempts.
