Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Azure AD is being used for authentication to Office 365 applications and other 3rd party applications that integrate with it. We use Azure AD across the entire organization. Azure AD has helped us utilize one identity across multiple applications, both internally and externally. Single Sign-On through Azure AD is critical for buy-in from our end users, especially the end-users that are not tech-savvy.

Likelihood to Recommend

If your organization primarily uses Microsoft systems, there really is no reason to use another product. Azure Active Directory allows you to link your user accounts to virtually all Microsoft software and most 3rd party software. Having one digital identity across all systems makes things much easier for your end-users. Support for 2-factor authentication, especially with more people working from home, is fully supported.
