Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Entra ID

We leverage Microsoft Entra ID to manage all of our user objects, lists, domains, and it is the backbone for our Endpoint Management deployment, which is Microsoft InTune. It also allows us to manage Conditional Access policies, review risky sign-ins from any of our users, and an audit log for referencing previous changes.

Pros

  • Providing a single pane of glass to manage all objects in our tenant
  • Provide insight into our tenant's health and overall posture
  • Act as our Active Directory in the cloud, eliminating the need for physical servers

Cons

  • Having a tenant switcher, similar to the one in the M365 Admin Center
  • No need for physical servers to manage AD
  • Single pane of glass to manage all objects
  • Ability to add and manage enterprise applications that integrate with M365
We are completely cloud based, removing all of our physical servers and local Active Directory years ago. Since we closed our physical office, being able to use Entra ID to manage our Active Directory objects has been very easy and we recommend it to all of our clients who use M365 in any capacity.
Yes, we have various Enterprise Applications in Entra ID that integrate with our Microsoft 365 environment, as well as multiple App Registrations to make our company run more smoothly.
SkyKick, AvePoint, Adobe, DocuSign, Exclaimer, and others.
I have not, Entra ID works functions similar to how the M365 Admin Center works, it just has more functionality. As far as end-user experience goes, it is pretty much the same, nothing gained, nothing lost.

Do you think Microsoft Entra ID delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Microsoft Entra ID's feature set?

Yes

Did Microsoft Entra ID live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Microsoft Entra ID go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Microsoft Entra ID again?

Yes

Entra ID is well suited to manage all of your directory objects in the cloud, rather than having to leverage a physical server with a local Active Directory. We don't have a physical office, so eliminating the need for a server, which can be expensive and bulky, is critical to our operations. For companies who are required to have a physical server for compliance reasons, Entra ID may not be the right choice.
