Network Administrator Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/5/2026 "Seamless Microsoft App Integration with Consistently Strong Performance" 4/5 What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID? Integration of all microsoft apps. Ease of use and functionality of the features that come along with Entra. Performance has been consistent if not better than my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID? Support for any Microsoft product is abysmal at best. This is something that needs to be fixed. Pricing is very high, even for non-profits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Microsoft Entra ID solving and how is that benefiting you? Integration into Apps - because we use a lot of apps that are integrated with 365, one login helps with staff and users, so they don't need to worry about multiple logins. This includes the integration with OKTA, since that is our MFA vendor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Current UserValidated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite KY Kanga Y.

Its strong security features like conditional access, MFA, and risk-based controls make it easy to implement a solid Zero Trust approach. It integrates smoothly with Microsoft 365 and third-party apps, simplifies user lifecycle management, and offers helpful self-service options that reduce IT workload. The clear visibility through logs and reporting also makes monitoring and troubleshooting much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID? What I dislike about Microsoft Entra ID is that some features are complex to configure, and important settings are spread across multiple admin portals. Licensing can also be confusing, with key security features locked behind higher-tier plans. Troubleshooting conditional access issues can sometimes feel slow and complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Microsoft Entra ID solving and how is that benefiting you? Microsoft Entra ID is solving the challenge of securely managing user identities, access, and authentication across all our apps and devices. It centralises user management, automates provisioning, and enforces strong security controls like MFA and conditional access.

I use Microsoft Entra ID for integration with app and I've been testing the integration a lot. I find the ability to add users to certain groups with SSO really useful. I appreciate the groups, roles, and user administration features because we're able to sort users into different groups conveniently. The ability to reassign users in groups is also something I find particularly valuable. I've noticed improvements in these aspects over the past year, which is encouraging. Overall, I feel confident enough to rate it a 10 and recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

I really like Microsoft Entra ID's user-friendly interface. It makes managing user profiles and license assignments straightforward. The self-service password reset (SSPR) feature is great too, as it reduces the time for resetting passwords without needing to reach out to the helpdesk or local IT team. It's also fantastic that users can manage their account passwords with multi-factor authentication without the involvement of a technical support engineer. The initial setup was easier for my organization, and the availability of a cloud server made the switch from on-premises Active Directory seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Centralized identity and access management – It allows administrators to manage users, permissions, and application access from one platform across both cloud and on-premises environments. Single Sign-On (SSO) – Users can access multiple applications with one set of credentials, reducing password fatigue and improving productivity. Strong security controls – Features like multifactor authentication, conditional access, and identity protection help prevent account compromise and phishing attacks. Adaptive access policies – Access decisions can consider user risk, device health, and location, enabling a Zero Trust security approach. Integration - Integrates with the other Microsoft products/ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID? Complex licensing and pricing tiers – Many advanced features (Conditional Access, Identity Protection, etc.) require premium licenses, which can make costs difficult to predict and manage. Steep learning curve and configuration complexity – Policies, permissions, and API access settings can be difficult to configure correctly, especially in large environments. Documentation and troubleshooting challenges – Some administrators report outdated or unclear documentation and inconsistent technical support when resolving issues. Limited flexibility in certain identity and access scenarios – Permission management and identity controls may lack the granularity needed for complex enterprise environments. Vendor lock-in with Microsoft services – Organizations heavily using Microsoft 365 are effectively required to use Entra ID for identity management, making it difficult to adopt alternative identity platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Microsoft Entra ID solving and how is that benefiting you? Centralized identity management – It solves the challenge of managing user accounts and permissions across multiple systems and cloud services by providing a single identity platform. Benefit: Administrators can manage users, groups, and application access from one location, reducing administrative overhead and improving visibility. Secure authentication for cloud and hybrid environments – Traditional on-prem authentication does not scale well for remote work and SaaS applications. Benefit: Entra ID provides secure sign-in with features like multifactor authentication and adaptive access policies, protecting against credential theft and phishing attacks. Simplifying access to applications – Users previously needed separate credentials for many systems. Benefit: Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to access multiple applications with one login, improving productivity and reducing password-related help desk requests.

Service Delivery Manager Information Technology and Services Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/25/2022 "Azure Active Directory Review" 5/5 What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID? Azure is very cost-effective because of its pay-as-you-go model. I only pay for what I use, which helps manage budgets and avoid unnecessary spending. It lets me run both customer and internal apps in the cloud, saving on hardware and maintenance costs. Scaling is easy—I can increase or decrease resources with just a click. Security is strong with features like multi-factor authentication and app passwords, so data stays safe. Plus, Azure offers high availability with a 99.95% SLA, which means services are reliable and always up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID? Using Azure IaaS requires ongoing patching and diligent server monitoring, which is different from SaaS solutions where much of this maintenance is managed for you. It also demands a certain level of expertise, as all the various components must operate smoothly together. One frequent error is over-provisioning resources—what functions well on local servers may not be suitable for the cloud, potentially resulting in avoidable expenses. Without sufficient knowledge, businesses risk spending thousands more than necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Microsoft Entra ID solving and how is that benefiting you? Azure Active Directory (AAD) is both cost-effective and user-friendly. It integrates seamlessly with a wide range of platforms and applications, whether they are on-premises or cloud-based. The service supports Single Sign-On (SSO) combined with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR), making access management straightforward. Security is robust, featuring monitoring and alerts for any unusual login attempts. AAD also ensures high availability and offers conditional access, as well as Privileged Identity Management (PIM), which provides an audit trail to monitor suspicious activity on privileged accounts. The MFA options are diverse, including app authentication, tokens, SMS, and voice calls, which adds to its flexibility and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Microsoft Entra ID delivers a unified, consistent identity layer across Microsoft services. Its integration with Azure, Microsoft 365, and third‑party apps feels smooth, so managing access policies, MFA, and conditional access comes across as straightforward instead of fragmented. The admin experience is another major strength. The portal makes it simple to review sign‑in patterns, apply security baselines, and automate user lifecycle tasks. Features like Conditional Access and Identity Protection add real value by cutting down on manual security work while still providing fine‑grained control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID? Some parts of the admin experience still feel fragmented. A few settings are still tucked away in the old Azure AD blades, while others have moved into the newer Entra portal, so you sometimes end up jumping between interfaces just to finish a single task. As a result, navigation feels less intuitive than it should be. Licensing can be confusing as well. Features like Conditional Access templates, Identity Protection, and lifecycle automation are spread across different tiers, and it isn’t always clear which plan unlocks which capability. That uncertainty adds friction when you’re planning deployments or trying to scale up. From a performance standpoint, the portal also occasionally feels slow, especially when loading audit logs or sign-in data, which can interrupt your workflow when you’re in the middle of troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Microsoft Entra ID solving and how is that benefiting you? Microsoft Entra ID addresses the challenge of managing identity and access across a mix of cloud services, SaaS apps, and on‑prem systems. Rather than maintaining separate authentication flows or manually enforcing security policies in different places, it centralizes everything, users, devices, MFA, and conditional access, into a single hub. This reduces operational overhead and makes it much easier to apply and maintain consistent security across the entire environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Entra ID integrates very well with third-party services, which helps reduce deployment concerns, and it provides auditing and logging right out of the gate. Integration with third-party SaaS also makes it possible to manage access control appropriately at scale. That said, I’d still like to see continued improvements to B2B collaboration, along with further enhancements to Identity for Defender. Overall, we rarely experience outages or performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?
