Digital credentials have streamlined identity verification and now support faster passwordless onboarding
The best features of Microsoft Entra Verified ID for us are decentralized identity verification, reusable verifiable credentials, and passwordless trust validation. We specifically appreciate the standard-based credential issuance and verification flow because it reduces manual identity checks and improves trust for external users, vendors, and contractors. For our team, the biggest impact came from reusable verifiable credentials in Microsoft Entra Verified ID. Once identity proofing is completed, the same trusted credential can be reused across multiple onboarding and access workflows, which has reduced repetitive verification effort and improved user onboarding speed significantly. Microsoft Entra Verified ID has improved our identity verification process by reducing manual validation steps for employees, contractors, and external partners. It has also strengthened our trust during onboarding and access requests while helping us move toward passwordless and decentralized identity workflows.

A set of tools that allows you to manage user access to the Fiori apps and specify what users can do and see in the apps
Seamless integration is the most valuable feature. There is some functionality where you can go and enable and disable everything in no time.  You could use only SAP provided the API to extract. And there is one channel I experienced during the data migration, which allows us to create the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend this solution to others because it's simple enough to deploy."
"Microsoft Entra Verified ID has smoothed out our identity verification process and made it easier for us to authenticate users, making us more confident about our users being who they say they are so we can trust that we have secure logins for all our users."
"The authentication features of Microsoft Entra Verified ID are valuable. As an infrastructure professional, I appreciate the exceptional integration between on-premises Active Directory features and Entra ID."
"Entra allows us and our customers to access workloads on Azure and Office 365 securely, and we've integrated it with other applications to provide a single pane of glass for user identification, eliminating the need for multiple IDs."
"Microsoft Entra Verified ID has helped reduce fraud or impersonation attacks because if you are using a government-sanctioned ID, what is more secure than that?"
"The biggest return on investment when using Microsoft Entra Verified ID is the single sign-on (SSO) feature."
"I like the Microsoft Authenticator app since it comes with two-factor authentication."
"The MFA number matching feature effectively prevents unauthorized access by phishing bad actors who might obtain email credentials. This feature requires users to verify a number on their screen, ensuring they only approve genuine requests."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the provisioning of a lot of SAP systems, as it offers automated provisioning and the integration capabilities are good."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the provisioning of a lot of SAP systems. It offers automated provisioning."
"Seamless integration is the most valuable feature. There is a there is some functionality where you could go and be enabled and disable everything, you can do it with no time."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in Microsoft Entra Verified ID, particularly in the integration with other platforms, as they could do better with the API, for example."
"I must do two-factor authentication when I sign in from a different location. It creates friction. It's not personalized for the end user. I would like to see specific insights."
"I have not really seen return on investment with Microsoft Entra Verified ID."
"I believe there should be an easy provision for the on-premises and for the hybrid environment in Microsoft Entra Verified ID, as there seems to be some difficulty with hybrid implementations, especially in a country like Pakistan where most are transitioning to cloud but not fully migrating, instead opting for hybrid solutions."
"Microsoft products basically have no support other than the knowledge base, so I would give it a two out of 10."
"There are issues with the integration of Microsoft Entra Verified ID and MFA. Sometimes, the MFA process doesn't succeed, requiring users to sign out and log back in."
"While Microsoft continues to improve the solution, integrating the ID with biometric features could be enhanced, especially in terms of standard B2C flows for multi-factor authentication. Improvements in remembering devices and the timing of MFA triggers could also be beneficial."
"From our experience, Microsoft Entra Verified ID could improve in third-party ecosystem adoption and integration flexibility with non-Microsoft IAM platforms."
"The automated provisioning only works well with the SAP products and there are some problems with the non-SAP products. Even if it is SAP, if it is a non-ABAP system, it is a little bit problematic."
"The automated provisioning only works well with the SAP products and there are some problems with the non-SAP products."
"Only component, I would think the database is inbuilt. So you could use only SAP provided the API to extract. And there is one channel I experienced during the data migration, which is which allow us to create the customer or delete the Customer. And it won't allow for any change. The data migration needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If one is cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the product price as seven."
"The pricing and setup are standard. With Entra, you choose between P1 and P2 licenses. We recommend having at least one P2 license in a company for better alert management, even though P2 is more expensive."
"I still feel the pricing is on the higher side for larger customers. They don't pay anything for on-prem Active Directory. Although we receive additional features with Microsoft’s SSO, pricing is an area Microsoft can work on."
"The pricing of the solution is cheap."
