In my opinion, Microsoft Entra Workload ID can be improved in several ways.Particularly about Microsoft Entra Workload ID, I think they still could improve categorization, which still has some room for improvement. They have adopted a lot of things in the IGA platform, such as features that SailPoint is providing. They have covered a lot in the IGA area, and in collaboration, Microsoft is now functioning as identity as a service. We benefit from the features that we have. For example, previously with SailPoint, you needed to sync to the AD to get users and groups before performing operations, but now, we can limit users for sync and should only use cloud accounts to ensure security without touching our hybrid or on-premise platforms. There are many additional functionalities I expect from Microsoft Entra Workload ID in the future, but it's tough for me to comment due to the variety of licenses we have, such as device management and Office 365. Overall, the complete product is very broad, and there are still some areas that I have not explored.

Integration with existing IAM solutions has not helped our identity management processes; it's all of the things that are in front of Directory and Entra, such as SalePoint and other toolsets, give us one of the worst identity experiences I think I've ever come across, which is why I'm trying to change it. I would say if our security team were using the advanced analytics with Microsoft Entra to its fullest extent, then it would be phenomenal. But they're not. I happen to be looking at it, but they're not.
