Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Azure Active Directory

We currently use Microsoft Azure Active Directory in a hybrid mode with on premise Active Directory. We are beginning to use Microsoft Azure Active Directory more and more, utilising SSO, Conditional Access, MFA, Intune and other features.
  • We find that the MFA feature, combined with the Microsoft Authenticator app, works really well
  • Leveraging SSO to control access to a growing array of apps
  • Just getting started with Intune but it looks very promising
  • Inability to nest groups
  • Conditional Access could do with more granularity
  • SSO
  • MFA
  • Conditional Access
  • Reduced need of tech support for tasks such as password resets
  • SSO provides a streamlined login process for many apps, again reducing the burden on tech support
  • Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
We haven't really tried any other modern directory services, with the exception of on-prem AD, so not really got a comparison.
Although Okta (SSO) was tested a couple of years ago by another department but it didn't gain traction. And we used to use SecureAuth (MFA) but it wasn't very seamless or easy to use.

Using a local Active Directory for years, we have accumulated a lot of groups and nesting of those groups is inevitable. This doesn't translate well into Azure Active Directory's flat structure.
