Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has improved our customers' security posture. Multi-factor authentication has two layers of authentication, which helps in case you input your credentials into a phishing website and then it has access to your credentials. So if they use your credentials, then you have proof on your phone that was sent to the end user."
"Being able to use Azure AD means that you can use some of the Azure AD security features like Advanced Password Protection. As well as querying your normal password requirements like lengths and complexity, Azure AD has a feature in which you can put specific words. It can be words to do with your company, words to do with your company location, or words that a lot of your employees would otherwise use. You can disallow them. It's very good at making more obvious passwords, ones they're not allowed to use anymore. That's a good feature."
"It's very easy to run and it's part of their ecosystem and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon."
"We have the ability to define the email user in the designated field."
"It's a very intuitive platform. It's easy to create groups and add people."
"The security features are great. They will report in advance to you in the case of suspicious activity."
"The most valuable feature of Azure AD is its ability to connect with services outside of Microsoft, although documentation is necessary to properly implement these connections."
"I would say that Azure AD's pricing is very reasonable because of the structure and in terms of the solution."
"OneSpan Digipass is very useful, easy to use and work with."
"Its integration with open-source applications can be improved. I know that they are working on open-source authentication methods for integration with open-source applications, but they can make it more open."
"The licensing and support are expensive and have room for improvement."
"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."
"Technical support could be faster."
"In terms of stability, sometimes the more applications you integrate, the more it becomes a little bit unstable."
"Our users sometimes experience issues from having multiple Microsoft accounts, which can cause some confusion and hassle."
"Microsoft needs to make improvements in this regard and extend its services to other operating systems as well, especially when considering their widespread usage."
"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."
"At times, when the user is trying to scan and activate the license, it comes up with an error code."
