Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Entra ID
Necessarily in the machinery company, it is necessary to keep control of many situations such as product inventories, new machinery, suppliers, customer information and so on. We had a main problem of allowing access on the one hand to collaborators and on the other hand to clients but we were distrustful Of our own access solutions, Microsoft with its login service provided and guaranteed support for certain colleagues or clients to access certain information they needed for their work and information.It has helped us manage users and create internal security.
- The use has given us the reason that until now, with Entra ID, we have had a superior user experience than what we have had with other programs according to the fact that logging is super easy and very fast and the multicloud environment allows access from anywhere easily.
- Identity management is easy; I place a strong point on the visibility and control given to the applications. I believe that in this sense, they have made an effort to create a safe, intuitive and easy-to-learn environment for the average user.
- Authentication and access to data are strong; they have an encryption mode that protects each kb, this makes us feel safe.
- The integration of apps from Workforce is very convenient, you can integrate from any device even when you are traveling and this does not generate any inconvenience, blocking, etc.
- I consider only one aspect to be wrong, which is the cost structure. First, I could talk about the structure model provided by the vendors. It is a very complicated spreadsheet to understand for any user who is not from the IT department. Let's say that if you want to request budget and approve a budget you do not have the capacity for sufficient information at the moment to justify the purchase, why are there concepts only understandable for an IT engineer, I think this should be simplified for the reading comprehension of any individual, a simple spreadsheet, brief, and with plans for use only so that we can understand the marketing and financial areas of each company.
- I believe that the reduction in requests for lost access passwords has been considerably reduced by 20%.
- There has been an increase in the productivity of each user who has used Entra ID; what these types of programs do is act as a motivator for users so that they can work more comfortably and avoid procrastinating.
If I have identities in the cloud, I know that the IT team was the one that obviously executed the implementation process where it made connections to our server and to the access that Microsoft gives when acquiring the program with the suppliers, there was not much problem, in reality, everything was designed and configured in one week for the entire company.
If we have our own applications created by our internal development departments, and the implementation has been somewhat more expensive, that is why we must review the documentation more thoroughly to make it compatible with the Microsoft environment.
I think that CRM, especially work calendars and access to the application, office tools for the organization of details, has performed well and we appreciate that these apps can be linked in these environments without major costs.
Perhaps positive changes in use, easier handling, and time savings are what I could say.
