Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Entra ID
For an organization that is by default not in the Active Directory system, this tool allowed us to bring fresh approach in managing our resources, be it endpoints, users, GPOs and users' grouping via OUs.We are using the Microsoft Entra ID for 200 of our users that are subscribed to M365 product suite and manage them from here.
In what aspects are this tool being used in our organization ?
1. Access provisioning to certain resources
2. Access decommissioning to those resources
3. M365 Administration including OneDrive for business
4. Endpoint protections definition and orchestration
5. Sentinel protection
All in short, we are using as the door, both entry and exit, to manage our Microsoft's environment, there are still so much can be done with this tool

- Access Provisioning and Access Decommissioning
- Access Management
- Policy Enforcement
- Users grouping
- As with other Microsoft Product, this tool really works well within Microsoft's ecosystem
- Pricing is quite hefty for smaller organization
- Managing all of our licenses, all 200 of them are done via one door, this removes the hassle of provisioning and de-provisioning from multiple resources, if there are 10 different resources, with one central Identity Management, it will take less then a minute to do administration, instead 1 minute for each resources
- We never experiencing what we call as over provisioning despite the onboarding and off-boarding, as the tool accommodates and allows us to use fixed number of licenses, so there was never an instance where over billed happened
We are on the cloud based, as we are moving away from on premise infrastructures, this comes with the organization's policy where WFA is allowed and will not go anytime soon. Having it sitting in the cloud actually makes easier for us to manage and focus more on important things, instead of worrying about the status and loads of our infrastructures
We are only using for all of our Microsoft suites applications, as we have several IAM in our organizations, Microsoft Entra ID is optimized for 200 people that are in the license,
Microsoft Entra ID is being used to manage our MS Teams, Yammer, Sharepoint Online, M365 Suite, One Drive for business , Sentinel etc, as we don't have any on-premise apps, there is no reason to explore the possibilities
There is no complaint from our users, despite they are in WFA environment, it is easier for them to manage their needs via our servicedesk as our users know there are several groups that can access certain resources and there are groups that are not allowed to, with enforcing approvals, this access management is easier for the team
We are using Microsoft Entra ID for the 200 licenses we have and we use okta for 400 user and the rest is in Keycloak. From user's perspective, the Microsoft Entra ID is mile ahead of the other two as it is built for that purpose, from the Support perspective, it is also much easier for us to manage, even from compliance perspective. The other two tools are already there before we subscribed to this product, but if it is a choice, we will use Microsoft Entra ID in all of our resources
