Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft and others in Microsoft Security Suite."The most valuable feature is the single sign-on, which allows any application that is SAML or OAuth compatible to use Azure as an identity provider for seamless sign-in."
"The user functionality enables us to provide different levels of access, across many applications, for each user. We can customize the access level and set a security level in connection with that access. For instance, we can require MFA. That is a feature that helps enhance our security posture a lot."
"When logging on to Azure AD it's pretty quick."
"The boards for task tracking are a valuable feature."
"If you want to replicate a website at the frontend in Azure, it's very easy to do it globally."
"It is a very straightforward implementation."
"The best feature is the single sign-on provision for the various type of users."
"The most valuable feature is the conditional access policies. This gives us the ability to restrict who can access which applications or the portal in specific ways."
"Multifactor authentication is valuable."
"We previously used Microsoft's technical support, which was excellent; they were very responsive. Now, we use a CSP, and their support is lacking, so I rate them five out of ten."
"I haven't had any issues with the product."
"Transitioning to the cloud is very difficult. They need the training to make it easier."
"Our users sometimes experience issues from having multiple Microsoft accounts, which can cause some confusion and hassle."
"The workflow management for registering new applications and users could be improved."
"Be aware that it may not work perfectly globally yet. There are still glitches with the solution in Africa."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in terms of its integration with the local Active Directory. There are some gaps in terms of the local Active Directory through which Microsoft is syncing our environment from our data center. There should be the availability of custom attributes on Azure Active Directory. In addition, there should be the availability of security groups and distribution groups that are residing on the local Active Directory. Currently, they are not replicated on Azure Active Directory by default."
"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."
"We use a third-party API called Nebula API to integrate the account for authorization. The time-bound access area in Entra can be a problem. It can be improved in terms of the granularity of the permissions."
