"Azure Active Directory has useful policy assigning and management."
"The performance is good."
"We use Verified ID to select and deselect users. During the pandemic, we had many users who left our organization or were no longer involved in certain projects but had their user credentials with them. To prevent data loss and data piracy, we deselected those remote users from Active Directory, and it was a very quick process."
"Every feature in Microsoft Entra ID plays a crucial role in overall security."
"The most valuable features are the Conditional Access policies, SSPR, and MFA. Another good functionality is registering enterprise applications to provide access to external parties. These four features are precious and are the most used across different use cases for various clients and projects."
"The self-password reset if it's enabled and configured properly, really helps a company be able to reset rather than getting IT involved."
"It stands out as a comprehensive and adaptable solution that excels in both on-premises and cloud-based authentication, offers strong security with multi-layered authentication, and boasts a well-maintained product with reliable performance."
"The most valuable feature is the SecurID."
"I have found RSA Authentication Manager to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the provision part. The mapping and the logging is also very good. In addition, the troubleshooting, from a console point of view, is easy for administration and on the provisioning and logging part."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."
"It is a good solution for token identification."
"Easy setup, deployment, and integration in different infrastructures, including virtual ones."
"The only improvement would be for everything to be instant in terms of applying changes and propagating them to systems."
"Compatibility features for legacy system integration with new features will be challenging at times."
"Microsoft needs to add a single setup, so whenever resources join the company or are leaving the company, all of the changes can be made with a single click."
"I would like it if Intune could manage MacOS or iOS directly. Right now, we have to use a third-party solution."
"The synchronization between my AD and Azure AD needs improvement."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"Reading documentation could be simplified. Technical support could also be faster."
"A couple of years ago, I experienced some difficulty in implementing the solutions, the services of Azure AD. In one instance, I was not able to configure Azure AD for a registration. This was two or three years ago. However, currently, the documentation is very clear and there are no loopholes or anything that could hinder even a simple IT administrator to implement these services."
"Enhancing the user interface and expanding their marketing efforts in regions like Nigeria and West Africa could be beneficial."
"We found technical support was not very responsive to our requests for assistance."
"There is room for improvement in the RSA support."
"We have encountered issue when trying to expand this particular solution for a large set of users across the country."
"Perhaps parts of the the user interface should become more intuitive."
"Our major problem is the authentication via Microsoft, via Microsoft cloud systems. This is our major aim, to be a valued product for the future. The biggest problem is to work against cheap cloud systems. Cloud identification is our main problem at this time."
"We are not planning on using the solution in the future."
