"The user identification is simplified, and managing user privileges, whether adding or revoking them, is also quite straightforward when utilizing CyberArk SaaS."

"One of the most important is the Conditional Access. It helps affect a Zero Trust strategy positively."
"Two very important features in terms of security are governance and compliance through the Conditional Access policies and Azure Log Analytics."

"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.

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID is its security options, where we can provide highly effective security for user accounts during authentication."

"We would like to see an improvement in the ability to manage mobile devices."
"The solution could be easier to use and I found it to be very complex involving many steps."
"In terms of general user feedback, the more security you put in front of a user, the more they complain. So usability and the user experience are always a challenge. So there's always room for improvement."
"Overall, it's not a very intuitive solution."
"Maybe there could be a dashboard view for Active Directory with some pie or bar charts on who is logged in, who is not logged in, and on the activity of each user for the past few days: whether they're active or not active."
"Sometimes, the notifications and alerts are not delivered properly, and we end up missing them. Also, the overall graphical user interface needs to be improved."
"The licensing cost is a bit prohibitive."
"The B2B Federation functionality is not perfect and could be improved. It is not on the same level that we could have if it were being used on-premises. It offers a different experience, which is a bit complicated and has some additional drawbacks."
"We would like to see more system updates."
"There are issues using it with ADFS."
"The solution has not saved costs. While we’ve eliminated some tools, there are some other features that we are dependent on as admin, which are not yet integrated with Azure AD."
