Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Microsoft Entra ID to provide authentication & authorization to our end users for all cloud solutions that are used within the company. It provides easy single sign-on capabilities to a lot of enterprise applications.

Pros and Cons

Authentication & Authorization
Integration with cloud solutions
Useful security standards around password complexity, etc...

Fairly expensive
Limited reporting

Return on Investment

Quick roll-out for MFA
SSO between applications

Deployment

We currently have both on-prem identities that are synced to the cloud as well as cloud-only identities. We have local AD and also use a local Identity Management system.

Multi-App Security

Yes, but very limited. We are still in the early stages of our cloud adoption, so the amount of apps is still limited beyond Microsoft apps.

End User Experience

Easy to set-up MFA methods, fast sign-in. As we keep adding more applications to our tenant, we'll see more benefit from the SSO functionality as well.
