Microsoft Entra Pros and Cons

The interface is reasonable for administration given what limited cability the product has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a great deal to dislike. External Authentication Mechanisms doesn't support primary factors so MSFT forces me to try and go Passwordless "their way" -their implimentation of passkeys is not appropriate for enterprise use, it appears more consumer oriented. SAML integration is done through "federation" which is not granular the way Okta and every other SAML SSO is. In general the product is painful to set up, use and maintain. I haven't even started on the "hybrid" aspects with on Prem AD. It's like a sequel to a bad horror movie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Entra is one of the best solutions Microsoft offers for verifying and identifying enterprise technology assets such as laptops and mobile phones. It ensures that only the right people have access to specific resources. What I like the most are these three features: multi-factor authentication with the Microsoft Authenticator app, identity management for each device, and its integration with BitLocker, which provides full disk encryption for the asset. This way, data is securely stored and can be recovered with a BitLocker recovery key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Entra ID has proven to be a reliable and efficient platform for Spring Boot development. Its seamless integration, comprehensive documentation, and supportive community make it an excellent choice for Spring Boot developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support and community engagement for Entra ID among spring boot developers are not as extensive compared to other platforms. Finding relevant answers to specific issues or getting timely assistance can be challenging, which can hinder the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Me and entore team using MFA for their daily work. Multifactor Authentication provides us two factor Authentication while using organizational tool which helps organizations with safe and secure connectivity to tools and websits.

It helps on O365 too.

Every online services such as personal mailbox, social media to some institutional tool supports with MFA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to dislike but sometimes it delays to send push notification to mobile device while logging in to any tools. Specially to Azure virtual machines. But we can overcome with this issue while entering OTP from app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can say it is one of the best security feature from microsoft previously Azure active directory, Imagine having one key for your work life. No more fumbling with a bunch of passwords for different programs. Entra ID lets you sign in to everything with just one login, saving you a ton of time and frustration. Plus, it adds extra security layers to keep your stuff safe, kind of like having a super strong deadbolt on your digital door. It might sound complicated on the back end for IT, but it basically means they can keep a watchful eye on everything without being a pain for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the most powerful features require paid subscriptions, which can add up depending on your organization's size. This can be like having a great key system, but only if you can afford it. Which is something I don't not a big fan,

Might not handle everything for example If the company uses a lot of programs outside the Microsoft world, Entra ID might not be the best at keeping track of access for all of them. It's like having a key organizer that only holds house keys, but you need one for your work locker and the gym too.

And another thing that I noticed is Not super friendly with everything: It works great for Microsoft stuff, but connecting it to all those other programs you use can be a bit of a headache. It's like having a fancy new lock on your front door, but it won't work on your garage or mailbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a robust set of security features like multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and threat intelligence to protect identities and prevent unauthorized access. it has also a single sign-on feature that users can access various applications with one login. Entra ID supports all types of business and is easy to implement. There is one feature centralized management system that helps to manage users, groups, applications, and access permissions from a central location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yes. Entra ID provides various free tiers but some of the valuable security features require a paid subscription so one of the points is its cost.

and it provides various features that can be complex to set up and manage, especially for organizations with limited IT resources. Integrating Entra ID with some non-Microsoft applications requires additional configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Microsoft Security is they keep adding new security features and provide better security as compared to other OEMs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of now i dont find any cons in Security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Entra ID, I love its ease of integration within the Office 365 products as we use that here on a day-to-day basis. It makes making accounts and monitoring them so much easier and more effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue I have seen with Entra ID is you have to make sure you have the available license for what you are trying to do within it, which really is not a negative, just something you have to be aware of and also what i would like to see is the avalibility to integrate more with accounts created on the on premise side of things for example being able to add to certain groups or distros created on premise whic is not always avalible right now unless they are created in the 365 cloud Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is best for Hybrid Infrastructure to support your On-premise AD and your cloud ifrastructure.

It has a lot of feature like regular sync cycle with your AD tenant, DNS management, User login report, Audit report of user login, Security alert for unusual login attempts, excellent support, Multiple SAAS application, 3rd party application integration and a lot more.

It is easy to manage and handle. You can implement and control complete Intune with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the syncing problem create a big problem for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
