The Microsoft Azure Active Directory helped to integrate with the cloud-based platform and its services for single authentication (SSO). It helped MFA with critical applications and flawless replication between On-premise Active Directory and Microsoft Azure Active Directory. It's very easy to provision workloads on Microsoft Azure Active Directory and secure connectivity for cloud-based or on-premise systems.
  • Integration with third part cloud-based applications - e.g. CRM
  • Flawless authentication with On-Premises Microsoft Azure Active Directory
  • Workload or tenant creation is pretty easy on Microsoft Azure Active Directory and configuration of Microsoft Azure Active Directory eases the life of the Administrator
  • Microsoft Azure Active Directory works with Microsoft multi-factor services.
  • A maximum of 100 users can be part of a single group which creates an obstacle for a large organization
  • Non Admin create only 250 groups which create dependencies on admins.
Nearly 80% to 90% of systems are working on Microsoft services, especially authentication and the world is moving to the cloud. Microsoft Azure Active Directory is one of the best services from Microsoft which ease the organization and IT professionals' life easy to move on the cloud without compromising the security and leverage the services in a secure manner.
