Easy Multi-Factor Authentication **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2022 **What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?** Microsoft Authenticator is a simple straightforward tool, that allows multi-factor authentication without headache. My company has used it for a couple years now, and it's worked mostly seamlessly while increasing our security greatly. Whenever we need to connect to our VPN or use a system with this simple sign-on, we immediately get an alert on our phone, which we need to touch approve, and enter a PIN. If our computer is ever lost or stolen, even if we're signed in, the criminal would still need our phone to access. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?** Personally, I dislike that I do have to enter my PIN each time on my phone, and it needs to be a six-digit PIN. This may be customization from my company, but it does make it take just a little longer to access. Small sacrifice for the added security. **What problems is Microsoft Entra ID solving and how is that benefiting you?** We really like this tool, and how it is so simple to use, but effective. While multi-factor authentication is a burden to some, once setup, Microsoft Authenticator is easy and yet strong. ### 18.

If your organization is mature enough to pursue compliance and governance, you may find Entra ID particularly useful, especially if you have specific compliance requirements. Entra ID's identity management feature provides administrators with the ability to control access and manage identities within the organization. **What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?** If you're using a third-party SIEM solution (not Microsoft Sentinel), you might encounter challenges in forwarding User Risk detection logs to external SIEM solutions. The Entra ID user interface is smooth and user-friendly, but configuring certain features can be intricate, as with any other complex tool. I wouldn't necessarily view this as a negative. However, Entra ID could be relatively expensive for small-sized organizations. **What problems is Microsoft Entra ID solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ease of Access ### 24.
