Featured Reviews

Robin Schechinger - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Owner at Telekom Deutschland GmbH
A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management
I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.

Identity protection has strengthened daily access control and improved passwordless security
The best features of Microsoft Entra ID Protection include the password dictionary, which we do not have in Active Directory. Conditional access is excellent because we can select the location from which users authenticate, and this is the best feature for me. Another valuable feature is the ability to identify critical or suspicious computers. If computers are too old or too suspicious, the system does not allow authentication, which is excellent. The effectiveness of automated remediation for handling identity threats is great. I use passwordless authentication with cellular phone authentication, which is excellent because we do not always need a password. Microsoft Entra ID Protection is a great solution overall because it improves security in the company through identity management. It improves integration with other solutions such as Google, Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, and Facebook. We can create different applications and integrate with different services.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
"We've integrated our other software with Microsoft, and we log into other software using Microsoft. That's very helpful."
"Microsoft Entra ID Protection's features are suitable for all sizes of companies; it's a must-have product because traditionally Active Directory was used for identity and authentication on computers, and now with hybrid capabilities, every company of any size needs these features and tools."
"I find the most valuable feature to be conditional access. It allows for comprehensive security controls, network security, and application label security."
"The tool is simple and you can find a lot of tutorials, and videos on YouTube that can help you."
"I find the most valuable feature to be conditional access."
"I use conditional access most of the time."
"These features ease the job of security analysts, providing a better vision of user activities and potential risks."
"The multifactor authentication feature is effective, providing an additional layer of security."
 

Cons

"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Microsoft has not offered control over how they calculate high or low-risk scenarios. While they mention if a low risk is found by Microsoft, the triggered policy isn't customizable."
"I rate the quality of support at four out of ten because of inefficiencies in the ticket handling process. Tickets often bounce from person to person, requiring the sharing of information multiple times."
"Integrating some notifications, not necessarily all, but at least for important events or alerts, would be beneficial as it would function as a team solution or something similar."
"There is a lot of confusion around the user interface."
"Entra ID lacks a function to synchronize from the cloud to the local directory. This is a significant issue since there is no write-back feature from the cloud to local, which would allow me to use my own credentials from the cloud tenant securely."
"The experience is not very smooth for the user. This is an area where Microsoft could improve the authorization process."
"The product's initial setup phase is not easy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"From one to ten, if one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool a seven out of ten."
"The product cost is on the expensive side."
"The price of Azure AD is not expensive."
"The pricing is competitive in the SMA segment and runs $5-$6 per user."
"Azure Active Directory Identity Protection is not very expensive."
