We are only using for all of our Microsoft suites applications, as we have several IAM in our organizations, Microsoft Entra ID is optimized for 200 people that are in the license,
Microsoft Entra ID is being used to manage our MS Teams, Yammer, Sharepoint Online, M365 Suite, One Drive for business , Sentinel etc, as we don't have any on-premise apps, there is no reason to explore the possibilities

Microsoft Entra ID: A hub of connecting SaaS applications
Yes, it is connected to non-microsoft applications such as Successfactors, Workday etc. It is connected to those apps via provisioning for pulling data from these apps. The data pulls happens using standard feature of Odata REST APIs from successfactors. These works on the principle of unique employee id in SAP HR applications.
The main SaaS application that is connected to Entra ID is SAP Successfactors (HR experience app). Yes the on-premise active directory and SAP ERP and Fiori applications are also connected to Entra ID. The connection to on-premise app happens either through the use of provisioning agent or other similar applications. The connection can also be tested.

Microsoft Entra ID for business
Yes, we utilize Entra ID to secure non-Microsoft applications. This is done by eliminating additional password requirements for the end users and having them use Microsoft's SSO system which reduces password forgetting and additional weak passwords for vendors that may not have as strict password requirements.
We connect quite a few applications to Entra ID. We utilize the entire Zscaler suite (ZIA, ZPA, ZDX) along with Salesforce and other smaller applications.

An obvious choice for any large or small business firmly planted in the Microsoft ecosystem
Yes, we use Microsoft Entra ID to manage access to an electronic quality management system.

An end-to-end user and identity management solution
This is on use basis, and we usually manage this for our clients and not much for our internal tenant. This is usually done when required as a proof-of-concept exercise or as a temporary collaboration scenario. Until now the scope of this particular usage scenario has been limited and small.
There are a lot of SaaS apps like Jira, LinkedIn, Atlassian, HP, DocuSign etc. We have a few on-prem app connectivity as well but I Hope it is understood that I cannot name all of those connections due to obvious security concerns.

General review of Azure Entra ID during ongoing cloud adoption
Yes, but very limited. We are still in the early stages of our cloud adoption, so the amount of apps is still limited beyond Microsoft apps.

Fortifying Business Security with Seamless Authentication
Our company uses Microsoft Entra ID to secure all of our software resources, including both Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications. Microsoft Entra ID's flexibility allows us to extend its security features to a variety of SaaS applications, ensuring strong and dependable authentication. This detailed strategy helps us keep everything safe and organized, no matter what software we're using. It makes logging in easier and keeps all our financial information protected.
Among the SaaS applications we have connected to Microsoft Entra ID are
cloud-based financial analysis tools, collaboration platforms, and
third-party financial management software. In addition to software
that's accessed via the internet, we also have software that's installed
on our own computers and connected with Microsoft Entra ID to keep one system for
managing identity across everything we use.

Entra ID by Microsoft: The Next Level of Authentication
We use Entra
ID to secure many of our on prem Applications both paid and opensource the only
issue is a lot of paid products charge extra to access the SSO functionality,
so we are sometimes limited by budget on what we can implement it in.
We use a
lot of government SaaS Software that sometimes supports Entra ID, but also commercial
Saas software such as Atlassian products.
If we have our own applications created by our internal development departments, and the implementation has been somewhat more expensive, that is why we must review the documentation more thoroughly to make it compatible with the Microsoft environment.
I think that CRM, especially work calendars and access to the application, office tools for the organization of details, has performed well and we appreciate that these apps can be linked in these environments without major costs.

Microsoft Entra ID bridged the gap for our users.
We do not currently use Entra ID with non-Microsoft apps.
Currently, we use Entra ID to connect with only Microsoft-based SaaS applications but look forward to more of our SaaS application vendors offering the Entra ID as an option.

Great product, but you'll pay for it
As said before, we use it for Microsoft apps but also for 3rd party apps. It does not matter if the application is on premise or in cloud, it should be easy to integrate it with Entra ID as identity provider (we have do it with many applications) and take advantage of the feature that it offers
Yes, we have some SaaS applications wich are integrated with EntraID as identity provider, but I'll prefer no to give such details. However, the list of SaaS applications that are compatible with EntraID is huge, and you'll find material on how to connect them and how to make it work, so it should be an easy thing to do.

Entra ID a simple overview
Yes. Using SAML for SSO, we've tried to bring as many apps as we can onto the platform for IDP. Leaves me as admin with fewer places I have to go to add or remove users as they come and go. Most places have been fairly easy to set up and connect, documentation is mostly good, and product support people are most familiar with connecting Entra.
DocuSign, SurveyMonkey, Zoom, Planful.
No on premise apps.

Microsoft Entra ID for security and user comfort
We use AzureAD/Microsoft Entra ID SSO for every app and service which supports Azure or SAML. Security is top of mind for our board and a goal of mine has been to do away with multiple credentials for our users.
We have too many connected SaaS apps to list but a few are Salesforce, ADP, Concur, Bonus.ly, Cisco Anyconnect.
We do not have any on-prem apps connected to Microsoft Entra ID.

Amazing identity management and security
We use Microsoft Entra ID to secure access to a few third party systems/apps using SSO. The user experience is very good but the setup process can be a challenge. It’s a little tedious and depending on how good the third party documentation and support is will make a huge difference.
