Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft and others in Microsoft Security Suite."The most valuable feature is the ease with which a person can log in remotely using only a password or pin without creating a profile or policy."
"Being able to use Azure AD means that you can use some of the Azure AD security features like Advanced Password Protection. As well as querying your normal password requirements like lengths and complexity, Azure AD has a feature in which you can put specific words. It can be words to do with your company, words to do with your company location, or words that a lot of your employees would otherwise use. You can disallow them. It's very good at making more obvious passwords, ones they're not allowed to use anymore. That's a good feature."
"As an end-user, the access to shared resources that I get from using this product is very helpful."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Entra ID are the login and the conditional access pieces."
"Privileged Identity Management (PIM), managed identities, dynamic groups, and extension and security attributes are all great features."
"The solution's ease of use is one of its most valuable features."
"Single sign-on is the reason we use AD."
"We can have an audit and we can easily audit logs."
"Multifactor authentication is valuable."
"The dashboard and interface could be better. It would be ideal if it was easier to use."
"Azure AD needs to be more in sync. The synchronization can be time-consuming."
"The support could be better. Lately, they sort of dropped off a bit in terms of quality."
"Microsoft needs to make improvements in this regard and extend its services to other operating systems as well, especially when considering their widespread usage."
"ESAE management, especially the admin tools, could be improved. It should be built in by the vendor, and I shouldn't have to add patches or updates to connect to my domain directly. It should be added by default. The price could be better."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The Azure AD Application Proxy, which helps you publish applications in a secure way, has room for improvement. We are moving from another solution into the Application Proxy and it's quite detailed. Depending on the role you're signing in as, you can end up at different websites, which wasn't an issue with our old solution."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"We use a third-party API called Nebula API to integrate the account for authorization. The time-bound access area in Entra can be a problem. It can be improved in terms of the granularity of the permissions."
