Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Entra ID
Well, one is we use it to log into the laptops, so MacBook, but also Windows laptops, making sure that we have central authentication to our cloud applications. One of the business advantages that we have gotten out of it is we have about just over a hundred applications connected to it with single sign on. So it makes it easier for people to get into it without having to remember all the passwords, but it also helps us to have multifactor authentication enforced for all the applications, even if the cloud application doesn't have MFA themselves. And then we also have used conditional access. We make it that we do compliance checks to verify which device that you're coming from and that it's only like if you're an authenticated user coming from a compliant device that you're allowed to use the cloud application that we give access to.
Pros
- The conditional access piece works really well for us. We in the past have had situations where, and you've seen it also in the news like SIM swaps that are happening, the attacks that are happening. We don't have to just solely rely on an application, a cloud application, having MFA, et cetera. We now have it applied to a larger number of applications and it effectively has stopped attacks the coming across.
Cons
- I would say we are looking to automate more and automating provisioning and deprovisioning of users. It's not just giving access to an application, it's also making sure that the permissions and the application are correct. A lot of cloud applications have APIs and Entra ID in itself doesn't have an easy way to integrate with other cloud applications to do the automated provisioning. There are other third party solutions that do it, but it would be nice if Entra ID did it natively.
- I think that it has a positive impact and we've actually been able to, instead of having to hire more people within it, we've actually reduced our staffing.
We are just in the cloud in the last two months we have completely moved away from on-Prem.
Not at the moment.
No, it's pretty smooth at the moment.
- JAMS and Google Workspace
I still prefer using the Microsoft Solution.
