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."AI has been introduced to Azure."
"This solution speeds up the product development life cycle. That is, the time from the development of the product to the time to market is drastically reduced because of the CI/CD pipelines. You can have your code deployed within a matter of minutes."
"The product's integration capabilities are good."
"The best feature is the integrity of the .NET applications in our company."
"Its customer service is excellent."
"I would say it's granular controller who can access them."
"Azure Key Vault is very affordable, with charges of less than a dollar for over ten thousand keys."
"The platform provides straightforward integration with most of the other Azure services."
"Conditional Access is a helpful feature because it allows us to provide better security for our users."
"The user functionality enables us to provide different levels of access, across many applications, for each user. We can customize the access level and set a security level in connection with that access. For instance, we can require MFA. That is a feature that helps enhance our security posture a lot."
"It has been stable, and we haven't had any issues since we started to use it."
"It is easy to manage. I can manage systems with policies and automate our systems. Any professional system can be easily integrated with Azure Active Directory. It is widely used with Windows versions."
"One of the most important is the Conditional Access. It helps affect a Zero Trust strategy positively."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to delegate roles to each individual resource, which is great."
"The single sign-on across multiple platforms is really the true advantage here. That gives you one ID and password for access to all your systems. You don't need to manage a plethora of different user IDs and passwords to all the systems that you're going to access."
"I like Intune's MDM and MI."
"If the region where the Azure Key Vault data center is hosted goes down, it would be a cumbersome task since our company will have to come up with a different Azure Key Vault and migrate all the secrets or keys into it."
"If you check the capabilities of other key management services across Amazon, HashiCorp, and Google, there are features that Key Vault doesn't have. It could be the case that when you use Key Vault, you might be forced to use a third-party solution to get certain services. If those services could be included in Key Vault, there would be diminished reasons to go for a third-party key management system."
"The slow response from the support team is one of the shortcomings of the solution that needs to be improved."
"While it's very reliable in terms of stability, there's always room for improvement."
"There's room for improvement in cross-platform compatibility."
"The voucher access policy can be improved by configuring it based on groups, rather than just applications or users."
"While the solution already does a great job of managing keys, the solution could probably look at maybe expanding more into mobile devices and endpoints."
"To make it a ten the setup should be more streamlined."
"In terms of stability, sometimes the more applications you integrate, the more it becomes a little bit unstable."
"The product needs to be more user-friendly."
"The product could be more cost-effective."
"The dashboard and interface could be better. It would be ideal if it was easier to use."
"Azure AD needs to be more in sync. The synchronization can be time-consuming."
"Transitioning to the cloud is very difficult. They need the training to make it easier."
"They should put the features of P1 and P2 into a single license."
"The downside of using a single password to access the entire system is that if those credentials are compromised, the hacker will have full access."
