Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Auth0, Ping Identity and others in Access Management."The portal version of the Azure active directory is pretty robust."
"Azure Active Directory features have helped improve our security posture. The remote working has been a massive help during the pandemic."
"It's very easy to run and it's part of their ecosystem and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are definitely the authorization and authentication, and the rule-based user validation."
"Privileged Identity Management (PIM), managed identities, dynamic groups, and extension and security attributes are all great features."
"Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has improved our customers' security posture. Multi-factor authentication has two layers of authentication, which helps in case you input your credentials into a phishing website and then it has access to your credentials. So if they use your credentials, then you have proof on your phone that was sent to the end user."
"The most valuable features in Active Directory are the password writeback product and the MDM technology."
"It is an SAP product, so it integrates very well with other SAP products."
"The documentation, and the way that people are notified of updates, are things that can be improved. I'm a big fan of Microsoft products but the way they document is not that great."
"Certain aspects of the user interface can be rather clunky and slow. It can sometimes be circular in terms of clicking a link for a risky user sign-in and seeing what the risky login attempts were. It takes you in a circle back to where you started, so drilling down into details, especially if you are not in it every day and it is one of many tools that you use, can be difficult. It can be difficult to track down the source of an issue."
"If your organization requires additional security then the subscription will be more expensive."
"Having more training would be quite helpful."
"The most challenging aspect I found was the creation of organizational units and specific domains. They have a tool called Bastion, which is expensive and a little bit confusing."
"The technical support can be confusing - if you're looking for something very specific, it can be hard to get the right answer or a solution."
"The product takes at least ten minutes to activate privilege identity management roles."
"Everything should be in one package. There are so many different packages. They need to provide guidance because there are so many features and we don't know how to implement them in our organization."
"It would be better if we could also manage other systems with it. Currently, you have to purchase plugins for it to work with other non-SAP systems. It would be good if there is an easy way to integrate SAP Access Control with other non-SAP systems."
