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."The product’s most valuable features are compliance, recommendations, and inventories."
"The solution is up-to-date and helps prevent zero-day attacks."
"One valuable feature is the Microsoft Security Scorecard."
"The solution helps identify threats and vulnerabilities."
"The product's stability is very high...The scalability of the product is amazing."
"We have about 80 users in the Azure Active Directory right now, however, we know that if it was necessary to scale it for hundreds or thousands of users, it wouldn't be a problem."
"It has made our work easier in that it’s simplified everything for us."
"If a company has hundreds of users that already exist in the cloud, and it now wants to enable those same users to be present in third-party applications that their business uses, like Atlassian or GoToMeeting, the provisioning technology can assist in achieving that."
"Privileged Identity Management (PIM), managed identities, dynamic groups, and extension and security attributes are all great features."

"It's a quite comprehensive solution and it scales quite well within our required scale as well, which is very useful."
"It enhanced our end user experience quite a bit. Instead of the days of having to contact the service desk with challenges for choosing their password, users can go in and do it themselves locally, regardless of where they are in the world. This has certainly made it a better experience accessing their applications. Previously, a lot of times, they had to remember multiple usernames and passwords for different systems. This solution brings it all together, using a single sign-on experience."
"The most valuable features of Azure ID are the single sign-on and OpenID Connect authentication."
"It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system."
"The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets."
"The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise."
"Integration can be improved."
"The general support could be improved."
"I had some issues with the Azure Active Directory on Windows XP. However, it worked well on Windows 7."
"The main issue is that because Active Directory is in the cloud, it will inevitably be dependent on internet connectivity."
"The synchronization with the local Active Directory and synchronization with all of the users on the local and cloud could be better."
"My only pain point in this solution is creating group membership for devices."
"From time to time it takes a little bit of time to replicate, with some of the applications—something like five to 10 minutes. I know that the design is not supposed to enable real-time replication with some of the applications. But, as an administrator, I would like to run a specific change or modification in Azure Active Directory and see it replicated almost immediately."
"Microsoft needs to make improvements in this regard and extend its services to other operating systems as well, especially when considering their widespread usage."
"When it comes to identity governance, the governance features in Azure AD are very focused on Microsoft products. I would like to see those governance and life cycle management features offered for non-Microsoft products connected to Azure AD."
"The only issue is the OU is not properly synced. Therefore, you have to do a manual sync sometimes or you might lose the connector due to AD Connect or sync servers."
