Likelihood to Recommend Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security has been ideal for our organization (and would be for any I can think of) for securing user accounts through MFA and admin accounts through PIM. Its end-point management is also great for set-up and configuration as well as management of your devices. It also provides you with useful metrics and feedback on your devices.
Read full review It is well suited for creating and updating and deleting employee attributes through Azure AD provisioning. But there can be some scenarios such as installation of provisioning agent documentation can be improved with proper screenshots. This will help consultants better in further implementations in future. The integration perspective is good but still the documentation available has scope of improvement.
Read full review Pros Simple pre-packed solution for many popular Microsoft products Advanced threat protection Simplified end user management with Intune Read full review Microsoft Entra ID's biometric authentication improves security and streamlines user access through facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, which are reliable and practical. Users can easily confirm their identities using biometrics, smart cards, or PINs, increasing security without disrupting business operations. Microsoft Entra ID provides us with a thorough security comprehension by allowing us to effectively manage user identities, regulate access entitlements, and track authentication events. Read full review Cons InTune deployment via Hybrid Azure AD. The instructions seem very simple but there are lots of little areas you can get tripped up and there is little logging to see where you've gone wrong. Advanced Threat Protection anti-impersonation. It is WAY too sensitive. Users emailing themselves from personal accounts get their mail sent to quarantine just because the name/label of the personal account matches their Office 365 mailbox name/label? HUH??? Licensing. Typical of Microsoft, what you're actually getting and details of licensing are confusing. Read full review Support has been less responsive than we'd like. Sometimes, responses/callbacks can take days. There seem to be some credential conflicts with users who had "personal" accounts in the past using the same email address. Would like more options for chat-based troubleshooting, rather than phone or email. Read full review Likelihood to Renew In an Office 365 environment Entra ID is part of the package, it makes life easier compared to a traditional active directory. It’s feature rich, packed with analytics and security features to protect users from being compromised, it can be costly to equip all users with the extra features but is well worth the time saved and the extra features to avoid potential security breaches that can be costly for companies. The SSO features and integration into 3rd party applications is something that interests us, but a lot of our specialist software doesn’t support it, but it’s currently being developed so that will be another feature we will be using in the future.

Read full review Support Rating I have not needed to engage support for anything at this time. I have been able to find the answers either online or in a knowledgebase. I tried to skip the question but it would not let me, so I rated a 9 based on other interactions with Microsoft support I have had
Read full review Implementation Rating Make sure you use a good partner. Our implementation was a bit longer and more problematic than we expected. Our partner got it done, but, in my opinion, some of their inexperience and staffing issues were evident.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is better than any of the products I have used that do similar things. There is a huge convenience to all the things Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security brings together in one place. Also, the speed and streamlining nature of Intune helps with the management and set up of devices.
Read full review Microsoft seems to be the better service for cloud identity syncing and is still a leader in this realm. Their service is reliable, and we use it with all of our clients. Compared to Okta, the cost is more affordable and they include a lot of services in the Microsoft licensing plans. This makes it the better option for most cases.
