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.
