	Microsoft Entra ID
Considered Both Products	Microsoft Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID No, I think we use most of the Microsoft 365 application. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID Okta One. Log on. Hint, this was the best because we're mainly a Microsoft shop. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID Google Workspace is really pretty much the only other primary competitor. And again, Microsoft has just been the standard for so many years and it was in place at the organization when I was first brought on at the beginning of my tenure. And so it didn't seem logical to switch … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID More people are already using it, so makes sense of using this one. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID Yeah, so basically that product to be honest, was more of a getting comfortable with cloud identification management. So that was a product I used. It has all the policies for desktops and doing updates and all that central directory identity provisioning stuff for users. Users … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID I haven't evaluated other products like this. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID We use DUO as another IDP solution and we also evaluated Okta as a solution. We didn't have a choice to be honest, because Microsoft products, you can't get away with it, but it's built in and a bunch of other providers have it as authentication, so it's great. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID We've used other Microsoft products and we've also used some standalone products, like each application you can have its own identity, so we've looked at some of those too, but we try to use the Entra ID as much as possible because it offers a wider range of reliability. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID Google Directory. We've evaluated Okta as well for SO. Those are the two. I mean, we selected this one because we want it to be a Microsoft shop. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID We actually did just the Microsoft Active directory, so we picked the actual. We did just pure active directory. I mean the open LDAP stuff, but it didn't quite work that well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID I think the closest one would be because we recently went through an implementation, but Salesforce has their own version of a signal sign-on product. It's not the same. I'd say that it works, but it doesn't give you as much functionality. Incentivized Helpful? Faizan Malik Senior Specialist Cloud and Infrastructure in Information Technology at OQ (Oil & Energy, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Microsoft Entra ID I use some part of AWS IM also, but not purely Microsoft brand. I use AWS for a very short period of time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID For us, it was a natural evolution of our use of active directory. As we went from on-premises to the cloud, this was an easy extension of our authentication infrastructure. We looked at other products from Oracle, so Oracle ID, Oracle Identity Management. We looked at pink … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID The use the flexibility and the easiness of it. We don't need any maintenance or management cost on top of it. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID We used Google before, but we tried to use it but it didn't. We didn't like it. I'll this is better. It integrates better with our environment that we have right now. Incentivized Helpful? Ryan Durbin Co-Founder & Director of Operations in Information Technology at Invoke (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Microsoft Entra ID We're Microsoft dedicated. We do however, displace other products that do similar things, so a lot of third party products, so even like Okta. In my opinion, it's just equally as powerful or more powerful of a product and it has a way better price point for customers. I think … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID I'd love to tell you about Amazon IM and Google's IM because they suck and they tell you to use Entra ID, factually. They're like, oh cool, set it up with Entra ID. They just know you're going to do it. I don't think you guys have a competitor, to be honest. You just don't. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID We're a Microsoft Native shop, so we're looking at Okta's identity tool, SailPoint and a few other competitors of Venture id. And we decided to go with this one because we're already using Active Directory, so just using the native Microsoft Suites kind of just they integrate … Incentivized Helpful? Giovanni Patruno COO in Information Technology at bitCorp (Information Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Microsoft Entra ID Well, it's natively integrated with all Microsoft Stack, so it comes very handy when you need to, for example, use it for Intune Association, et cetera, so it's very handy. Incentivized Helpful? Devin Jones IT Director in Information Technology at Sanderson Automotive Group (Automotive, 201-500 employees) Chose Microsoft Entra ID Previously we had worked with Okta, which was kind of using our replacement for active directory server, and I know that has integrations, but we ended up just going with Entra ID just for the ease of access and without having to stack on an additional third party application … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID In our application use case, it's kind of unique and there isn't any like for if there's anything on the identity space, probably Okta. Yeah. But we do both use them and we have integration with Okta and Entra ID, so it works for us very well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID I would say primarily SAVI and SalePoint. I would say that Microsoft has the best opportunity to scale for all market, but not quite there yet. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID License and some capabilities are better in Microsoft Entra ID Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Microsoft Entra ID 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. Incentivized Helpful?
