Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Azure Active Directory

We use Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) both as an internal directory and single sign-on solution for the entire organization, as well as part of our cloud offering where we leverage the capabilities of Microsoft Azure Active Directory and provide additional authentication mechanisms for our business customers.
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Conditional access
  • Supported by and integrates with other Microsoft products
  • Complexity, especially for users not familiar with the "Microsoft way" of doing things
  • Great for enterprises but a lot of overhead for smaller businesses
  • The central one place to manage everything on Microsoft Azure Cloud
  • Supports for multiple authentication mechanisms
  • Standardize authentication for all our users, reducing support needs
Okta is great and much simpler to use based on our experience, but as we were moving to Microsoft Azure as our cloud platform, Microsoft Azure Active Directory just made more sense.

Yes

Did Microsoft Entra ID live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Entra ID go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Entra ID again?

Yes

If you are primarily a Microsoft shop, using Office 365, Azure, Windows, etc... then using Microsoft Azure Active Directory would be a natural choice, in fact I would say choosing anything else in this scenario would not make any sense. It has a bit of a learning curve especially if you are new coming into the Microsoft ecosystem, mostly due to its breadth and depth, but once you get a hang of it, Microsoft Azure Active Directory is a very solid identity management solution.
