    "Azure Active Directory is the next step for your path to the cloud"

    Posted 2022-03-16

    Pros: The migration was (relatively) painless and seamless since it was seen as a direct upgrade. So it did save a lot of headaches with the proprietary migration utilities.

    Cons: While Azure Active Directory does solve and enhance a number of items, there are some little gremlins still in the system that seem to just persist from previous versions of Azure Active Directory. Namely the way things work has stayed consistent, so this could be seen as both a bad and a good thing.

    Overall: My company currently, or in the past already had MS Active Directory in place, so when we were evaluating how to upgrade our system it just made logical sense to take the next step towards the cloud by implementing Azure Active Directory.

    "Best of enterprise Identity Management apps"

    Posted 2020-08-26

    Pros: Azure Active Directory is widely considered as the best Identity Management app due to its robust security policies, integration with Windows Server Active Directory and other Azure cloud services. It also offers Single Sign On and MFA ( multi-factor authentication ) for extra protection. It is quite affordable too, and is offered in multiple pricing tiers.

    Cons: The only extra feature i would like to have in Azure AD is more third party integrations.

    Overall: Azure Active Directory is an excellent identity management app with emphasis on both user protection from cyber-attacks and convenience.
