"Don't delay implementing this solution, it's the best thing you can do for your identity protection."
"It's multi-tenant, residing in multiple locations. The authentication happens quickly. Irrespective of whether I'm in Australia, the US, India, or Africa, I don't see any latency. Those are the good features that I rely on."
"It has been very instrumental towards a lot of services we run, especially on the single sign-on side. For example, we have 160 countries that all run their own IT but we still are able to provide users with a single sign-on experience towards global applications. So, they have a certain set of accounts that they get from their local IT department, then they use exactly the same account and credentials to sign into global services. For the user, it has been quite instrumental in that space. It is about efficiency, but also about users not having to remember multiple accounts and passwords since it is all single sign-on. Therefore, the single sign-on experience for us has been the most instrumental for the end user experience."
"It's a very scalable solution."
"We haven't had any problems with stability. Everything works fine."
"User and device management is the most valuable feature."
"Sometimes the developers in technical support take time."
"ADAudit could have a more sophisticated interface design. They are using a plain UI, which is decent. However, customers have said that it looks a little flat compared to other vendors. It's not fancy."
"The solution's managing file server activity could be improved."
"It assists in managing the active directory and modifying the reintegrated GPOs."
"The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"The solution should include more details on file creation and modification. It also needs to have a quick message for troubleshooting problems which needs to be detailed and generic."
"There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need."
"The dashboard and interface could be better. It would be ideal if it was easier to use."
"Its price should be improved. It is very expensive for Turkish people."
"Azure Active Directory could improve the two-factor authentication."
"I would like to see Microsoft communicate how they intend to manage legacy applications. Right now, you still have to deploy a hosted domain server (which comes at an extra cost) if you have a legacy application that cannot sync properly with the enterprise applications and the modern applications."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. The price plays a factor in the rating."
"Something that can be improved is their user interface"
"The visibility in the GUI is not good for management. There are a lot of improvements that could make it better. It should be more user-friendly overall. It is not user-friendly because everything keeps changing on the platform. I can understand it because I know the platform, am familiar with it, and use it every day. However, for a lot of clients, they don't use it every day or are not familiar with it, so it should be more user friendly."
"The product needs to be more user-friendly."
