"Personally, I'm a great fan of Azure Active Directory due to the security and compliance features that are there in the classic or default Azure Active Directory."
"Azure Active Directory has been very useful for our company, it is not difficult to use."
"All of the features are amazing, such as identity governance and privileged identity management."
"Many of its features are valuable, including: facilitating application authentication, privileged access management, processes for attestation, and access reviews."
"The valuable features I use daily are enterprise application, conditional access, identity governance, password monitoring, and a password reset."
"The scalability capabilities are quite high."
"It has been very instrumental towards a lot of services we run, especially on the single sign-on side. For example, we have 160 countries that all run their own IT but we still are able to provide users with a single sign-on experience towards global applications. So, they have a certain set of accounts that they get from their local IT department, then they use exactly the same account and credentials to sign into global services. For the user, it has been quite instrumental in that space. It is about efficiency, but also about users not having to remember multiple accounts and passwords since it is all single sign-on. Therefore, the single sign-on experience for us has been the most instrumental for the end user experience."
"The ability to see and control PCs and mobile devices is the most valuable. I can see where they are and how many we have. I can also see the age and retention of PCs."
"In the product, two groups cannot have the same name...In general, the tool does not allow for the duplication of names."
"I think something that is key would be the group policies replication over the cloud, in order to prevent or to avoid relying on the on-premise Active Directory servers and to manage group policies."
"Definitely, the price could be lower. When we moved from AWS to Azure, we started paying more."
"Transitioning to the cloud is very difficult. They need the training to make it easier."
"Having more training would be quite helpful."
"The most challenging aspect I found was the creation of organizational units and specific domains. They have a tool called Bastion, which is expensive and a little bit confusing."
"The monitoring dashboard could be a bit better."
"We would like to see more system updates."
"Some of the features that they offer, e.g., customized emails, are not available with B2C. You are stuck with whatever email template they give you, and it is not the best user experience. For B2C, that is a bit of a negative thing."
