Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Entra ID

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Login users need Microsoft Entra ID as identity and access solution since it was called Azure AD managing identities for employees, partners and customers, reducing unauthorised access and improving visibility and control .

It is a cloud based product so it can be used anywhere as long as the internet access is possible and there is no network restrictions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Good interface to administrate access to users
Gives good security for endpoints, apps and servers
Good compatibility with multi factor authentication
Valuable security features

Cons

It can get too complex
It is very demanding with licensing
Syncing issues with some devices

Return on Investment

Licensing costs
Administration costs
Troubleshooting complexity

Deployment

Cloud active directory AD with Microsoft Entra ID using Multi factor authentication allows end users to access using single sing one and have the highest standards of security.

I don't use the tool on premises as it demands additional resources and cloud allows the users to connect and lgin anywhere with the usual Microsoft interface

Multi-App Security

Microsoft Entra ID es used to secure Okta apps from an okta portal which has links to many subdomains. Non-Microsoft app such as our own product, human resources, webEx, zoom, workday, payslip sofware and many other apps all work using Microsoft email sso authentication with a log list of users interacting with the system

End User Experience

Microsoft Entra ID was used from the beginning. There are no changes since no other tool was used before.

It is evident in the logs how the integration works seams less and without any security issues or unexpected behaviours.
