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."It allows me to run applications using these certificates without directly installing them."
"It stores sensitive information in an encrypted way. We don't have to worry about data loss or data theft because no one can see our information."
"It provides a secure and centralized location for managing and protecting sensitive information, making it an essential component for enhancing the security."
"The product’s advantageous feature is integration."
"The security on offer seems to be quite good."
"AI has been introduced to Azure."
"The platform has a valuable feature for seamless integration."
"Among the features that have helped improve our security posture are storing secrets in a secure location to create a trusted situation, trusted resources, and incorporating identity access management so that we know who has access to what."
"The primary and most valuable aspect of Azure AD identity is its ability to function seamlessly on both on-premise and cloud infrastructure, eliminating the need for extensive updates. However, this dual solution can pose vulnerabilities that require substantial support and security measures in the on-premise environment. Despite the challenges, it is currently not feasible to completely abandon AD, especially for companies in the sales and energy sectors. The integration with Microsoft Defender is crucial for enhancing security, making identity and security the primary focus and purpose of Azure AD."
"The solution helps us with authentication."
"The tool is simple and you can find a lot of tutorials, and videos on YouTube that can help you."
"The reverse proxy feature provides additional security that is not available in other solutions."
"I use conditional access most of the time."
"The solution needs to improve its cost."
"The initial setup could be less complex for first-time users."
"I would like more code examples."
"Microsoft Azure Key Vault could improve by enhancing the security of credentials. Without the security or the use of key vaults, we would have to configure our credentials into the source code as plain text without the encryption or security."
"Inability to access the solution on the phone."
"Azure needs to provide versions of Key Vault that are suitable for different sizes of companies."
"One area for improvement is the notification system for secret expiration. It would be beneficial if the service could handle this more autonomously, eliminating the need for additional integrations."
"While it is reliable, enhancing security and protection should always be the priority."
"Identity labeling and sensitivity needs improvement."
"Azure AD could improve by enhancing the availability of specialized courses for security, such as NETSCOUT security or other relevant certifications. It would be beneficial to have specific courses for security, to provide in-depth knowledge and skills related to Azure AD. While there are micro-learning resources available for various concepts, many people in the IT industry may not have the time to go through all the courses to properly configure and utilize Azure Active Directory. Simplifying the implementation process and making it easier for individuals to join a company with Azure AD could also be considered areas for improvement."
"Integrating some notifications, not necessarily all, but at least for important events or alerts, would be beneficial as it would function as a team solution or something similar."
"The solution is not optimized to work with Mac devices on a granular level. They work seamlessly with Windows but have a lot to improve to work with Mac devices. It also needs to improve stability and scalability."
"The solution's sync should be faster since it can take about 30 minutes to two hours to complete a simple sync. The tool needs to sync instantly. It also needs to improve scalability, support, and stability."
