An affordable solution for communication with customization
Feitian IAM reduces the risk of internal and external data breaches because it provides proper identities management and give greater control to administrators. Before Feitian IAM, our users need to input user+password+OTP for all our internal applications, now they only need to input once. Feitian IAM can automatically sync users from HR systems and Microsoft AD to our CRM systems and Email system, which saved a lot of time for our IT. We were using OTP tokens before Feitian IAM, Feitian IAM supports OTP and FIDO2 and many others.

Identity has become our central gatekeeper and has provided secure single sign-on for all users
Microsoft Entra ID can improve by focusing more on new passwordless methods and becoming a primary adopter. One feature we would like to see is the ability to have security questions for password resets. I know the current capability is phasing out, so we do not have an alternative method yet. Customers who already use security questions require a smoother transition for that capability to be available. My experience with the deployment has had some challenges, particularly around the Microsoft MFA campaigns. The hardest part is moving users from a different MFA provider to the Microsoft MFA provider, as it ultimately depends on user activity. In large enterprises with numerous users across various geographies, this transition takes time. If there are ways to exert more control around that process, it would improve the situation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"They provide extra help for providing codes, and their license model is perpetual which is better than others."
"As a result, the solution has helped to improve our security, because user management control is very important."
"It is a central point where we provide the cloud lock-in for our company. We focus the multi-factor authentication within Azure AD before jumping to other clouds or software as a service offerings. So, it is the central point when you need to access something for our company within the cloud. You go to Azure AD and can authenticate there, then you move from there to the target destination or the single sign-on."
"Overall the solution functions very well, such as the ability to access it from the cloud."
"Azure Active Directory has useful policy assigning and management."
"I use this solution on a daily basis and it's a very functional app that adds an extra layer when it comes to securing the data owned by my company."
"The features of Microsoft Entra ID that I find most valuable include the ability to define service principles and assign permissions."
"Our current experience with Azure in the Cloud - Azure Active Directory - is it's very functional and productive in talking about identity and access management solutions."
"The features I find most valuable are conditional access, privilege management, and dynamic groups."
 

Cons

"FEITIAN has a recording feature, but it cannot record the configuration."
"The ease of use regarding finding audit information for users could also be improved."
"Definitely, the price could be lower. When we moved from AWS to Azure, we started paying more."
"Role-based access controls."
"We would like to have more granularity in the Azure conditional access in order to be able to manage more groups for devices and for applications."
"Microsoft is working with Microsoft Identity Manager for Active Directory on-premise. It will be very important to have these identity management solutions directly in Azure Active Directory. It's very important to have some kind of Azure identity manager as a technology for identity and access management for working both in the cloud and inside the Azure suite."
"While Microsoft Entra ID is a strong and reliable solution, there are a few areas where improvement can enhance the overall experience, such as simplifying policy management and security policies, which can be complex for new users."
"They can simplify and provide more information about adding or updating a phone number or email id in the MSA account."
"Some systems do not integrate very well with Azure AD. We thought of going for Okta, but later on we were able to achieve it, but not the way we wanted. It was not as easy as we thought it would be. The integration was not very seamless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"From a pricing standpoint, with all the services that we get, we are okay. I do not see a problem with the pricing structure. We are getting our money's worth."
"I think the pricing is efficient, but the licensing is overly complicated and difficult to understand. There are many tricks in the licensing that weigh against us."
"If you're on Azure, it can be free or it's incorporated, at no extra cost, or it can become extremely complicated."
"Its price is okay. It is easy to go from P1 to P2 license. It is not exactly a bargain, but I would recommend the P2 license."
"It's pretty good. We're using the native features. It's bundled with our Office 365 licenses. We aren't paying anything extra for Azure Active Directory. It's pretty good for us because it's complementary to Office 365. We're only paying for Office 365."
"It is a packaged license. We have a Premium P1 subscription of Office 365, and it came with that."
"We pay a yearly license. Licenses are very expensive."
"Azure has an educational package available for students with a variety of licenses and different software available."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Azure Active Directory?
I would rate the pricing of the product as four out of five. The product is definitely good, and I see it as part of the future roadmap for managing all endpoints.
What needs improvement with Azure Active Directory?
I believe instead of putting everything in a single form under Microsoft Entra ID, it would be best for Microsoft to segregate these features. For example, if someone wants to design the Conditiona...
