"It has been stable, and we haven't had any issues since we started to use it."
"Very stable and scalable IAM service with good SSO and authentication features."
"With Azure Active Directory we were able to manage with different options the access for different users."
"It helps us with maintaining enterprise identities."
"When logging on to Azure AD it's pretty quick."
"Azure Active Directory provides access to resources in a very secure manner. We can detect which user is logging in to access resources on the cloud. It gives us a comprehensive audit trace in terms of from where a user signed in and whether a sign-in is a risky sign-in or a normal sign-in. So, there is a lot of security around the access to resources, which helps us in realizing that a particular sign-in is not a normal sign-in. If a sign-in is not normal, Azure Active Directory automatically blocks it for us and sends us an email, and unless we allow that user, he or she won't be able to log in. So, the User Identity Protection feature is the most liked feature for me in Azure Active Directory."
"The best feature is the single sign-on provision for the various type of users."
"The security and compliance features are very helpful. The online information on the site is well documented."
"It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system."
"Integration can be improved."
"The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise."
"The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets."
"The general support could be improved."
"Customers should be informed that public review features are not intended for production use."
"Microsoft Authenticator can improve their notifications because sometimes, my team doesn't receive notifications about app updates and authentication failures."
"An area where there is room for improvement is the ease of use of the dashboards."
"The product could be more cost-effective."
"I faced difficulties from Micorosft's end and during the transition from Microsoft Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID. Sometimes, some of Microsoft's documentation could be a little outdated."
"I would like to dive into some of the things that we saw today around the workflows at this Microsoft event. I cannot say that they need to make it better because I do not have much experience with it, but something that is always applicable to Microsoft is that they need to be able to integrate with their competitors. If you look at IDP, they do not integrate with Okta."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The only improvement would be for everything to be instant in terms of applying changes and propagating them to systems."
