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.

Centralized SaaS management has given us full visibility and has reduced costs and saved time
One main advantage with Zluri SaaS Management is that we got complete control over our SaaS products and complete visibility. We were able to easily understand all our licensing types, all our usages across different applications, the number of users, and everything. This brought more control and more visibility for our business. One best thing about Zluri SaaS Management is the 360-degree visibility into our SaaS stack. We are easily able to understand how much our spend is and what our usage is. Zluri provides this comprehensive dashboard in which they give us ratings based on what our usage of the platform is. For example, we use this platform called Salesforce where it will tell us whether we are on the right usage track or not, how many active users are there, and how much we are spending. The dashboard is the most useful part about Zluri. It definitely saves a lot of time for us. With Zluri's dashboard, we are able to optimize spends with user activity insights. We are able to identify and remove unused licenses and redundant apps. Some of our applications, we might not be using for more than six months or seven months. Those become redundant and renewal of those is not required. Zluri identifies these for us and helps us manage them. Also, some applications we might be on the higher version. Zluri helps us downgrade app licenses, thereby saving a lot of revenue for us. We have saved about $30,000 in yearly expenses after the introduction of Zluri SaaS Management. Being a cloud platform, one thing that is great is we get regular alerts about our software renewals so that we never miss the deadlines. These alerts can also be customized according to our needs, which is also very much useful with Zluri SaaS Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using [Azure AD's] passwordless technology, you're not even using a password anymore. You're basically just creating a logon request without actually sending or typing or storing the password. This is awesome for any user, regardless of whether you're a factory worker or a CFO. It's secure and super-simple."
"A couple of features are valuable, but the one that comes across the most to me is multi-factor authentication."
"The two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security for our organizational data, so Microsoft Authenticator plays a crucial role in making our confidential data more secure."
"It is a very straightforward implementation."
"With MFA, if there has been a password leak and someone tries to access the system, Azure AD will send a notification to the real user's cell phone and ask, "Are you trying to login? Please approve or decline this login.""
"This is a highly reliable solution and we plan to continue using it."
"Single sign-on is the reason we use AD."
"The fact that it's an ecosystem in itself is probably the best one."
"With Zluri SaaS Management, we have been able to save $30,000 worth of expenses in the last year itself because we were able to identify the redundant software."
"Zluri SaaS Management has helped identify inactive users and inactive applications, saving approximately $60,000 in the last quarter alone, which has directly impacted overall revenue, leading to a 15% increase."
 

Cons

"I haven't had any issues with the product."
"I think the solution can improve by making the consumption of that data easier for our customers."
"The area that needs improvement is integrating IDs between multiple environments and forests. In our case, it's hard to get the identities from multiple forests into one location. This is probably our biggest challenge."
"At first, it was a bit challenging to come up with a workaround that would get authentication to work."
"One area where it can improve is connectivity with other systems. Not all systems are connected and you have to do coding to establish a point of connectivity. It supports certain vendors and it supports certain protocols. It is limited in many other aspects at the attribute level."
"Azure AD does not support legacy authentication protocols, such as NTLM or Kerberos."
"There is no great solution in the cloud for Conditional Access authentication and RADIUS-type authentication."
"My understanding is, in the future, they will be able to bring everything into one single platform and they are not there yet."
"One feature about Zluri SaaS Management is they have the ability to access reviews from different platforms so that we can post it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a good deal. If you get rid of all the products providing features that Azure Suite can provide, then it makes sense cost-wise."
"I think we're on the E3 — I think it was about 35 dollars per user."
"Expensive solution, but if you look at the technical benefits it provides, the price for it is decent."
"The basic tier of Azure Active Directory is free, so many users use the service for free. For a small company having the security and compliance that Azure offers is a great benefit. For small companies that are using the basic services, not having to pay for Azure Active Directory is the main asset because they can manage their users and have authentications tools and security."
"The cost is billed on a per-user licensing basis."
"Active Directory is bundled with a package of Microsoft services, so it doesn't cost much. I don't know about the individual license of Active Directory."
"We have various levels of their licensing, which includes users on different levels of their enterprise offering."
"The pricing depends on the use case and can be negotiated based on volume."
