"User Management "

4.5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Entra ID?

I like Azure active directory user management Multi factor authentication. The security options provided have really helped secure our data. I also like the way that single sign on is managed in Azure. I can easily add a new system to single sign on and also easily give users specific access to systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Entra ID?

Dislike the interface. It is very easy on the eyes but there are a lot of different sections. At times i find it hard to find what im looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Entra ID:

I would recommend Azure for user management over on premise AD. I do think the interface needs to be improved but Microsoft is heading in the right direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Entra ID solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are continuously trying to make our environment more secure. On a day to day basis users may click links that are malicious. Two factor authentication helps the user by ensuring no one else is logging into their account other than themselves. Single sign on also solves the business problem of users remembering their passwords. We used to receive a lot of emails from users about forgot passwords but now that they have to remember just one password we do not receive nearly as many emails to reset passwords. Considering we are fairly new to using Microsoft Azure active directory, I can see moving forward that we will have more benefits to talk about. The product is most definitely moving in the right direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
