Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Auth0, Okta and others in Access Management."It has made our work easier in that it’s simplified everything for us."
"The best thing about Active Directory is its compatibility. It works with lots of third-party vendors. We're using multiple products, and they're all integrated with our Active Directory."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its authentication security. That is Azure Active Directory's purpose - making cloud services' security and integration easier."
"Privilege identity management is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is free to use and you can use it for every service."
"Two very important features in terms of security are governance and compliance through the Conditional Access policies and Azure Log Analytics."
"Azure AD has features that have helped improve our security posture."
"If you want to replicate a website at the frontend in Azure, it's very easy to do it globally."
"It is an SAP product, so it integrates very well with other SAP products."
"I rate Microsoft support five out of 10. It's just okay."
"Certain aspects of the user interface can be rather clunky and slow. It can sometimes be circular in terms of clicking a link for a risky user sign-in and seeing what the risky login attempts were. It takes you in a circle back to where you started, so drilling down into details, especially if you are not in it every day and it is one of many tools that you use, can be difficult. It can be difficult to track down the source of an issue."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"Entra ID is not battle-tested or stable enough to support a business of our size. There are some design issues specifically around support for legacy services."
"The pricing is okay, however, it could always be better in the future."
"For the end users, it can be confusing if they have worked for another company that had the Authenticator app. It is tricky if they have already had the Authenticator app and then work somewhere else. If they have to download it again and use it again on their phone, it is something that gets complicated. I know how to get through it. They just need to uninstall and reinstall the application, but for them, sometimes, it is confusing."
"Overall, it's not a very intuitive solution."
"If Microsoft can give us a way to see where this product is running, from a backend perspective, then it would be great."
"It would be better if we could also manage other systems with it. Currently, you have to purchase plugins for it to work with other non-SAP systems. It would be good if there is an easy way to integrate SAP Access Control with other non-SAP systems."
