Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Entra ID
Our organization uses Azure AD for verification across all platforms. But not only that, I also implement ERP software based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and integrate it with Azure AD for customers. The Azure administrator of the customers create an app registration, which I then use in Business Central for integration. That way the users of our customers can use their Office 365 credentials to access Business Central. For the app registration to work well, I have to work with the customers system administrator. The app registration has to be set up thoroughly for it to work well with Business Central.
Pros
- The integration with other Microsoft products
- Multi-factor authentication
- Conditional access
Cons
- Simplify complexity - Azure AD is rich of features, but that also makes it very complex
- Management
- Integration with Business Central
- Single Sign On authentication
- Being able to use Azure AD with Business Central (which is our core business), we can show (potential) customers how well BC and Azure AD integrates with each other to even allow them features they didn't have in the past.
Because Microsofts Azure AD works flawless with the ERP system that we implement, which is also from Microsoft.
Secondly Microsofs Azure AD is more intuitive than Google's Cloud Platform or Amazon's Web Services.
I can honestly say that the most mature cloud platform is Microsoft's.

- delegated access to our customers
- setting up security groups to limit certain users to view all customers
- Making sure only limited administrators have global access, to secure our CSP Azure tenants
- Setting up security groups, to limit the view of Business Central customers. Not everyone in our organization are allowed to view all customers.
- that is unclear for now
