    Considered Both Products

    Chose Microsoft 365
    We've only used Microsoft 365 products. Now that Microsoft 365 is cloud-based it's made remote access manageable. It has made us as a company evaluate physical office space now and in the future.

    Using Dynamics as a business application was the best decision I ever made. Between all its functionalities we are able to connect any Office 365 tools into your personalized app and you do not have to leave your page, it’s all right there.

    Microsoft Entra ID seemed to be a better fit for our organization since we were already using Microsoft 365 and a local active directory.

    We adopted both the endpoint security platforms and of course the cloud security platform. So when we sell Iku for our products, we also sell the licenses both for defender, for endpoint, and of course Microsoft 365 Premier. And we work for integrating the security model of the …

    Microsoft Login ID was chosen for its ease of use and availability of access via any device. Unlike the old Active Directory, it has a low learning curve and is very intuitive for analysts who are using it for the first time.

    We evaluated RSA SecurID and Okta as alternative authentication options before choosing Microsoft Entra ID. The combination of biometric authentication and MFA with Microsoft Entra ID's identity management boosted our financial security compared to other options with similar …

    Chose Microsoft Entra ID
    We haven't really tried any other modern directory services, with the exception of on-prem AD, so not really got a comparison. Although Okta (SSO) was tested a couple of years ago by another department but it didn't gain traction. And we used to use SecureAuth (MFA) but it …

    Chose Microsoft Entra ID
    Entra ID is more intuitive than G-Suite mainly because Windows Server users and admins will already find the UI and workflows familiar. API access and management is easier to access and work with. Documentation is more comprehensive too, in my experience. Entra ID also appears …

    In our particular scenario, we chose [Microsoft] Azure Active Directory because it has integration with tools and applications we use on a day to day basis, such as inTune, Autopilot, Office 365, Exchange Online, Dynamics 365, just to named a few.

    Chose Microsoft Entra ID
    I've worked with both Okta and Auth0 at various clients. Consistently, we find that Azure Active Directory provides a more seamless experience, better integration with IT tooling, and a more developer-friendly experience. In the past Azure AD has lacked some of the …

    Chose Microsoft Entra ID
    We never evaluate other types of products. Since Windows 2000 we have been using Active Directory for the administration and management of our users, devices, and policies. We could certainly see the advances that are produced version by version and I firmly believe that Azure …
