We performed a comparison between Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management and Microsoft Entra ID based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution helps identify threats and vulnerabilities."
"The product’s most valuable features are compliance, recommendations, and inventories."
"The product's stability is very high...The scalability of the product is amazing."
"The solution is up-to-date and helps prevent zero-day attacks."
"One valuable feature is the Microsoft Security Scorecard."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID is its security options, where we can provide highly effective security for user accounts during authentication."
"The most valuable feature is Identity and Access Management. As an IT administrator, this feature allows me to manage access for users and groups."
"The ability to speed up ability is an asset."
"Single sign-on provides flexibility and helps because users don't want to remember so many passwords when logging in. It's a major feature. Once you log in, you have access to all the applications. It also enables us to provide backend access controls to our users, especially when it comes to groups, as we are trying to normalize things."
"The most valuable features of this solution are security, the conditional access feature, and multifactor authentication."
"The product is easy to use."
"I like that you can run it on-premises. I also like that I can use Azure at any time as the main one."
"The scalability is quite good."
"Integration can be improved."
"It is challenging to extract and customize reports from the system."
"The technical support takes too much time to resolve tickets."
"The general support could be improved."
"The setup phase of the product is not that easy and needs a person to have a certain level of expertise."
"Compared to what we can do on-prem, Azure AD lacks a feature for multiple hierarchical groups. For example, Group A is part of group B. Group B is part of group C. Then, if I put someone into group A, which is part of already B, they get access to any system that group B has access to, and that provisioning is automatically there."
"The pricing is okay, however, it could always be better in the future."
"The price has room for improvement."
"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."
"A nice feature that is not currently present, would be if they had some visualization tools."
"I would like to see improvements made when it comes to viewing audit logs, sign-in logs, and resource tags."
"When you fix the rules and permissions, working directly on the manifest, you really need to have in-depth knowledge. If there were a graphical user interface to update the manifest, that would be good."
"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."
