Find out in this report how the two Microsoft Security Suite solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I am satisfied with the product overall."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Key Vault is the secret storage of data."
"We only use the basic features and those are the ones that have the ability to tie into the app, the secrets, and the passwords and encrypt them."
"It provides a secure and centralized location for managing and protecting sensitive information, making it an essential component for enhancing the security."
"The integration with other Azure services is one of the standout features for me. It allows us to use secrets from the Azure Key Vault seamlessly without direct interaction.Additionally, the ability to easily mark secrets for expiration and receive notifications is invaluable."
"I would say it's granular controller who can access them."
"Azure Key Vault's performance is excellent. It makes infrastructure management easier."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and enabling our clients to manage keys."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to act as an identity provider for other cloud-based, SaaS applications. In our bank, this is the main identity provider for such features."
"The ability to grant access to other organizations is helpful."
"We use Verified ID to select and deselect users. During the pandemic, we had many users who left our organization or were no longer involved in certain projects but had their user credentials with them. To prevent data loss and data piracy, we deselected those remote users from Active Directory, and it was a very quick process."
"Two very important features in terms of security are governance and compliance through the Conditional Access policies and Azure Log Analytics."
"When logging on to Azure AD it's pretty quick."
"I would say that Azure AD's pricing is very reasonable because of the structure and in terms of the solution."
"Single sign-on is the reason we use AD."
"The security and infrastructure management features are the most valuable ones for us."
"The solution's usage can be a little better from the user interface point of view."
"The voucher access policy can be improved by configuring it based on groups, rather than just applications or users."
"It needs to offer dynamic secrets management."
"We've experienced issues with configuration."
"I would like more code examples."
"The product must provide AI features."
"If I consider how some people complain that a solution to store information should be available at a low cost, I would say that Azure Key Vault's price should be made cheaper."
"The integration with Thales HSM is complex and is not out-of-the-box. Uploading the keys was quite a tedious process."
"I want to see new functionalities for the active directory."
"The workflow management for registering new applications and users could be improved."
"Reading documentation could be simplified. Technical support could also be faster."
"The Azure AD Application Proxy, which helps you publish applications in a secure way, has room for improvement. We are moving from another solution into the Application Proxy and it's quite detailed. Depending on the role you're signing in as, you can end up at different websites, which wasn't an issue with our old solution."
"I had some issues with the Azure Active Directory on Windows XP. However, it worked well on Windows 7."
"A nice feature that is not currently present, would be if they had some visualization tools."
"Microsoft should work on enhancing its machine-learning algorithm to prevent unnecessary lockouts of users."
"Documentation I think is always the worst part with what Azure's doing right now across the board."
