We are on the cloud based, as we are moving away from on premise infrastructures, this comes with the organization's policy where WFA is allowed and will not go anytime soon. Having it sitting in the cloud actually makes easier for us to manage and focus more on important things, instead of worrying about the status and loads of our infrastructures

Microsoft Entra ID: A hub of connecting SaaS applications
Yes, I have implemented both on-premise and in the cloud. The Azure AD on cloud implementation works directly on ODATA API construct as per the standard implementation.
The On-premise requires installation of provisioning agent and cloud sync with the system. It is integrated with 3rd party application like Successfactors, Workday via provisioning through ODATA APIs and reaches to on-prem active directory through domain controller.

Microsoft Entra ID for business
At the company I work at now, our identity is managed exclusively in the cloud. We have all user management and VMs hosted through Microsoft, not internally. We utilize the full Microsoft cloud suite for SSO, user management, and VM deployment.

Microsoft Entra ID - Must have tool for Large Enterprises
We have identities in both On-prem and cloud. We are syncing them using ADFS and pass-through authentication.

Easy to implement, Quick solution for Authentication Needs!
We had our architecture in Cloud mainly in AWS. We deployed to EC2 instances using codedeploy.

One of the best tool in Market for Authentication and Authorization
Onprem Identities which gets synced to Azure Cloud via Azure AD AD-Connect. We have multiple domain controllers in multiple locations so identities in On-prem gets replicated across all DCs and then they gets synced to cloud via Azure AD connect agent. So Hybrid model of deployment is what we have.

Entra ID review
We have both an onsite server running the cloud provisioning agent and cloud identities. Our onsite server syncs with the Entra ID to provide single sign on for Microsoft services. This allows us to use a single password for signing in to on premise resources as well as cloud resources such as Sharepoint, Onedrive and the cloud applications.

An obvious choice for any large or small business firmly planted in the Microsoft ecosystem
All of our identities are in the cloud. I wouldn't really consider maintaining our credentials and managing these systems on-prem, at this point. I'd rather rely on Microsoft Entra ID to house our data securely and reliably, than try to do it ourselves. Happy to outsource as many of our IT services as possible!

An end-to-end user and identity management solution
Yes, we do have an on-prem Azure AD Forest with multiple Organizational Units and a concise set of domain controllers as well. When it comes to cloud presence, we are currently only living in Azure with almost 500-600 users and almost 700 devices (since we also allow a chunk of users with BYOD model including a few freelancers).

Go to product for Identity and Access Management
There are identities in the cloud. Deployment is very simple, all the identities are managed from a simple PowerShell script.

General review of Azure Entra ID during ongoing cloud adoption
We currently have both on-prem identities that are synced to the cloud as well as cloud-only identities. We have local AD and also use a local Identity Management system.

Fortifying Business Security with Seamless Authentication
Our organization uses Microsoft Entra ID to manage user identities in both on-site and cloud environments. This helps to ensure secure and easy user access through biometric and multi-factor authentication methods. It links with our on-site Active Directory and also works with cloud-based applications, boosting our access control and user self-service abilities. We bolster our financial security measures by extensively logging and monitoring all related activity.

Your one-stop identity shop!
As our on-premise AD existed first, we have synced accounts to the cloud through ADSync. However we also have some cloud native accounts, and guest users from other organisations. It has also allowed us to create B2B connections to other Microsoft Entra ID tenancies which has made mergers and acquisitions much easier on day 1.

Microsoft Entra ID
Yes, we have 2 physical on prem AD's along with one virtual AD. We use our on prem to create the account then sync'd to our office365 tenant.

Entra ID by Microsoft: The Next Level of Authentication
Our deployment
is hybrid as we still have an on prem Active Directory and Exchange server.
There are
some limitations in a hybrid environment for example users and email accounts must
be created on prem before syncing to Entra ID and Office 365.
User attributes
can only be changed on prem then synced to Entra ID, it’s an extra step but it’s
just the required workflow when working in a hybrid setup.
If I have identities in the cloud, I know that the IT team was the one that obviously executed the implementation process where it made connections to our server and to the access that Microsoft gives when acquiring the program with the suppliers, there was not much problem, in reality, everything was designed and configured in one week for the entire company.

Microsoft Entra ID bridged the gap for our users.
We have used local Active Directory for decades and found a disconnect as we began utilizing more cloud-based services. Management of user accounts for disparate systems became increasingly frustrating not only for admins but also for end users who had separate logins for each. Utilizing Entra ID's ability to bridge local and cloud AD, combined with single sign-on and multifactor authentication, was the right solution for our needs.

Great product, but you'll pay for it
We have a mixed enviroment, working both with on premise appliances and also cloud services. We try to use the best part of the cloud deployment, such as conditional access, mfa, high availability, etc... to use it both on cloud solutions, 3rd party integrations and on premise applications. It can improve both cloud and on premise deployments.

Entra ID a simple overview
Only in the cloud, we ran hybrid for a year or so, then went all cloud about two years ago. Everything is in Azure, SharePoint or Entra.

Microsoft Entra ID for security and user comfort
We have a hybrid environment to support some legacy enterprise applications. Our goal is to move 100% to azure as soon as possible, once the legacy apps are replaced.
We have all of our user identities and some security groups synced to the cloud from an "on-prem" (azure VM) domain controller. The on-prem security groups are only used for those legacy apps mentioned earlier. All of our real identity setup is done in Microsoft Entra ID/AzureAD.

Microsoft Entra ID formerly Azure Active Directory.
We have both types of identities that are on-premises and in-cloud identities, we have hybrid environment and it's synced through AD Connect tool. we have enabled only one way syncing without password hash write-back due to our security policy. so, the users outside are not able to change passwords by themselves.

Amazing identity management and security
We used to use it on-prem but migrated to the cloud 7 years ago and it was absolutely worth it. For a short time were a hybrid environment but I don’t recommend that. The migration was a bit challenging but I expect that to be better now. In my opinion, using a good partner to help with the migration is a key to success.

Microsoft Entra ID central pooint for identity management and other security options
We use an hybrid deploiment, our local Active Directory is Synced with Microsoft Entra ID, by this reason it simplyfies our management scenario, and it's synced several times at hour. If you have enabled the writeback functionality, user's can update theirs passwords using the cloud.
It helps to manage identities and user permissions, excellent integration with on premises active directory.

Microsoft Entra ID, new name, still the same great functionality!
All in the cloud. We first started with an on premise version. After a few years we combined this with the cloud to be a hybrid solution. After a few years we moved everything to the cloud.
