In our company, the main use we give to Microsoft Entra ID is for the configuration, automation and management of each of the access keys in order to maintain privacy and improve the general security in the login of the services we use in the cloud. We have many platforms that we use in the cloud, so with this platform we can incorporate an easy access key so that each employee saves time when logging in and can be productive without wasting so much time or worrying about secure login.
- I love the easy implementation that Microsoft Entra ID has on cloud platforms, I can configure an access key and manage each of the keys and accounts created for each cloud platform in very few steps.
- Microsoft Entra ID provides me with a diagram where I can see the security gaps that exist in each user of if any data from the access keys has been leaked, this allows me to have very generalized security.
- It's amazing how I can manage all my keys in a central area thanks to this platform, it allows me to control all my identities on the various platforms I use.

Checking staff accounts, if there's any issues as far as a staff has issues with say authentication, I can go in access, whether they have a phone number that needs to be changed, I can go in and update their phone number, reset passwords, those sort of things.

Entra ID is really user access management or group management. We've been using it for identity access, setting up. I'm trying to think of the international access exemptions. Lots of other stuff.
- User management, I mean it's basically active directory from what I'm used to from way back in the day. Creating, creating and modifying users is especially easy now that we're not, we used to be in a hybrid environment, which kind of made things a pain in the butt. It was like using the old school version and the new version at the same time. But now we're just on Entra ID, which is really nice to streamline some processes.

Well, one is we use it to log into the laptops, so MacBook, but also Windows laptops, making sure that we have central authentication to our cloud applications. One of the business advantages that we have gotten out of it is we have about just over a hundred applications connected to it with single sign on. So it makes it easier for people to get into it without having to remember all the passwords, but it also helps us to have multifactor authentication enforced for all the applications, even if the cloud application doesn't have MFA themselves. And then we also have used conditional access. We make it that we do compliance checks to verify which device that you're coming from and that it's only like if you're an authenticated user coming from a compliant device that you're allowed to use the cloud application that we give access to.
- The conditional access piece works really well for us. We in the past have had situations where, and you've seen it also in the news like SIM swaps that are happening, the attacks that are happening. We don't have to just solely rely on an application, a cloud application, having MFA, et cetera. We now have it applied to a larger number of applications and it effectively has stopped attacks the coming across.

We are an MSSP and an MSP. So we have a number of clients that we resell Microsoft products to. A lot of them being Entra ID. So we support their end users for the total suite of Microsoft things. So maintaining Azure AD and now Entra ID, Microsoft 365 email. One comment I do have is the renaming of things constantly has been somewhat of an issue and pain point, but otherwise, I mean the product is a good product. It does what it needs to do well. It's just confusing at times with the renaming of everything.
- Logging is quite good when it's enabled and being able to see what actions are being taken in the console and actions being performed by users such as app registrations, generating alerts on rules and things of that nature. Everything's pretty clear and easy to navigate through the console as long as you know what particular module you're looking for.

We use it for MFA for our 365 users and then we expanded that to SSO for both an in-house app and some of our third-party apps.
- The SSO setup is pretty easy to use. It has a lot of trees, little filled into it. It wasn't real hard to set up. It's inherently confusing, especially with saml, but it worked pretty well.

I am using Microsoft Entra ID for getting a secure session for the Azure cloud. Previously, the main business problem was to handle the unauthorized access to the cloud and applications. Microsoft Entra ID creates a separate ID to use them. This basically helps us to get secured cloud access or any other on-premises application. This is mainly helping organization to manage Identity and access of employees. The main feature of Microsoft Entra ID is it automatically verifies the credentials of a user and allows us to get a protected work environment. In current project, it is helping us to get secured work environment so that no other user can access to our data.
- Automatic verification of ID credentials.
- Provides the protected environments over the cloud and for on-premises applications.
- Helping organizations to manage identities and protecting them.

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure) is a great product that we utilize for deploying VMs, integrating SSO within applications, managing users, groups, and inboxes, and more. While the online software is not always intuitive for administrators to use (the UI changes frequently) and the name change caused a great amount of confusion, the product is solid, mature, and most of all does the job in all the categories mentioned above.
- User and group management
- VM management and deployment
- SSO integration app store
- Intune and MDM
