"Microsoft Azure Active Directory is pretty good!"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

Microsoft Azure Active Directory fits perfectly into the Azure set of services. The grouping features available allow for an easy carrying out of role-based access control. Microsoft Azure Active Directory alongside the Microsoft 365 suite of tools, work together seamlessly and allows for simple administration. Of the active directories services I have used, this one is my favorite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

While I am a Microsoft Azure Active Directory fan, there are a few limitations with features only available with certain level licenses. This restriction can make some tasks a bit tedious. For instance, there are some scenarios where adding groups of users is only possible while using particular license levels. Leaving the alternative to add users individually if not upgraded.

"Best and Secured Authenticator"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

To begin with, the application is really fast and simple to use, and it is extremely safe. We use it to avoid leaking any information from our Microsoft email and for personal use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

Sincere thoughts. There has been no negative feedback. The application is really easy, and the good news is that it is similar to other OTP Authenticators. It provides and generates code instantly, as opposed to other authenticators, which take 1 to 5 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great foundation"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

As an administrator who uses Azure Active Directory on a daily basis, I can confidently say that it is an excellent product. What I like best about AAD is that it provides a great foundation to build your business ecosystem on. AAD enables centralized management of user identities and access to resources, making managing user accounts, groups, and devices easy. It seamlessly integrates with other Microsoft cloud services, such as Office 365 and Microsoft Intune, allowing for streamlined management of all your Microsoft products. Overall, AAD is a reliable and scalable identity management solution that provides a robust set of features and capabilities, making it an essential tool for any organization that values security and efficiency.

"The Best Multi Factor Authentication for Microsoft"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

It works completely with Microsoft Office 365. Setting it up on cell phones can be a challenge. Once installed and integrated with the user's Microsoft account it works very well. The background reporting of location and pertinent information is very valuable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

Sometimes it can be difficult to get the actual authentication you need immediately. The software is evolving and should provide flawless information access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Migrated School District from old local services to cloud based Azure account."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

Having the management be cloud-based in one location online. The mobile app makes my job so much easier since you can change password on the fly and being able to issue Microsoft licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

As of now, I do not have anything negative to say about Azure. The only thing I can think of is if they made it simpler to have a shared drive that you could assign users access with a click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Old standby stable, but restrictive."
3/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

It has been around forever and is a standard bearer. It has a robust repository of resources, guides, integrations and support as such. It is a fairly stable product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

It is hopelessly old school, there may be items that complete break your setup but if they do not effect enough of their users they are never going to fix them. Single OS options in 2023 are severly limiting when there are more modern solutions now in the marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Azure Active Directory is a must have whether you already have on-prem AD or not."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

I love the ability for us to sync between Azure AD and onprem AD. We are running a Hybrid environment because we still have certain tools that run onsite. If you don't have that, you could switch to completely Azure AD and move your identity and auth and no longer need to maintain that op-prem infrastructure.

We've been moving most of our cloud tools and web apps over to SSO using SAML and Azure AD has been invaluable for that. Adding an additional layer of security and ease to platforms that may not have things like 2FA or conditional access themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

Microsoft has a real problem with User Interface Design. It's really busy and can be hard to find what you are looking for at times. It IS very robust with a lot of options, but if you can't find them it clearly is an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Azure AD is the way of the future"
5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

Auzre AD while not a full replacement for on prem AD is a huge step forward for easily extending your AD outside your office. Just the ability to use SSO across the web pays for itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

There really is no much to dislike. Microsoft continues to improve the product and add new features. No product is perfect but the fact that this is an extension of something everyone has been using for years just makes it that much more powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure 2-Factor Authentication"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

The installation process was a little lengthy and confusing when I first used this at my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
