Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Entra ID

In our organization, Microsoft Entra ID serves as a security backbone when it comes to IAM management. From Securing access to resources, managing user identities or for login authentication process for any project, Microsoft Entra ID protects us from security breaches or unauthorized access. It is like the digital security guard that helps to keep a vigil watch on our digital infrastructure and enables when and how people or users should get access to our systems or remote projects.

Pros

  • User authentication and access controlling: Safe access for remote employees.
  • Conditional access depending on the role of the user.
  • Integration with almost all the cloud services or in-premises.

Cons

  • Sometimes it becomes tricky to deal with Non-Microsoft products, when it comes to integration.
  • Increased productivity especially for remote teams - Positive impact
  • Enhanced security - Positive impact
  • Improved Compliance - Positive impact
  • Integrating Non-Microsoft applications - Negative impact with almost 10% overrun on integration budget.
As our teams work in an Hybrid environment, we have identities managed on Cloud deployment, with a sub-set of identities on premises using AD. Most of the user accounts are cloud based to ensure users have access to our resources from all over the world. We have implemented conditional access policies to manage distribution of resources based on the role of employees.
Yes to some extent. We have configured SSO for our non-microsoft apps to provide easy and secure access. We also manage many apps like Salesforce, Slack and some of our internal build software with SAML or 0Auth.
Microsoft Entra ID provided better services at an affordable cost.

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Entra ID again?

Yes

Microsoft Entra ID is well suitable for organizations with remote teams, where employees are working from different parts of the world. With the centralized IAM feature, allocation of resources to users is easily managed. On the other hand, I found it less suitable for small teams or startups.

Integration with Microsoft 365, Teams, or any other resources provided by Microsoft is well suited, as compared to Non-Microsoft tools.
