We use it for many purposes most importantly to increase the protection and to provide better overall authentication methods. Its vpn functionality makes it more versatile as it helps in mask all the details and make sure theres no information leakage. It can be used on both computer systema and mobile which makes our overall experience better.

Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi factor authentication with integration of azure ad has made the authentication process easier. It also streamlines the complete process. we can also use smart cards for which helps authentication process smooth and agile. the biometric authentication is also very smooth because of AD integration. It has helped us in compliance as well.

Alternatives Considered

Oracle Identity Governance

I know its not a direct competitor but HID is better in all the sense its amazing because of its integration with Microsoft Azure AD.
