"The solution offers business to business and client to business support."
"It's a very scalable solution."
"One of the most important is the Conditional Access. It helps affect a Zero Trust strategy positively."
"We have not had any formal issues with scalability."
"The two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security for our organizational data, so Microsoft Authenticator plays a crucial role in making our confidential data more secure."
"Using [Azure AD's] passwordless technology, you're not even using a password anymore. You're basically just creating a logon request without actually sending or typing or storing the password. This is awesome for any user, regardless of whether you're a factory worker or a CFO. It's secure and super-simple."
"We have the ability to define the email user in the designated field."
"We find that the product scales very well."
"One Identity Defender has good network protection."
"It's very fast, and it's easy to use because it's integrated with Active Directory."
"In a hybrid deployment, when we update a license by changing the UPN or email address of a user, it does not get updated automatically during normal sync. This means that we have to update it manually from Azure, which is something that needs to be corrected."
"I would like to dive into some of the things that we saw today around the workflows at this Microsoft event. I cannot say that they need to make it better because I do not have much experience with it, but something that is always applicable to Microsoft is that they need to be able to integrate with their competitors. If you look at IDP, they do not integrate with Okta."
"At the free or basic level of service, Azure should provide identity protection features including single sign-on and multifactor authentication."
"Be aware that it may not work perfectly globally yet. There are still glitches with the solution in Africa."
"Compatibility features for legacy system integration with new features will be challenging at times."
"I would like to be able to authenticate Wi-Fi users using the Azure ID"
"Azure AD does not support legacy authentication protocols, such as NTLM or Kerberos."
"The documentation could be better."
"We have some clients that are wanting to protect their Apache web servers with One Identity Defender but all the research I have done says cannot be done. It can only be oriented to an IIS server. One Identity Defender should have more integration with more types of web servers."
"The login capabilities could be better."
"Maybe it could provide support for more web applications. It seems more focused on IIS web applications."
