The product is great, but has a bit of a learning

10 /10

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

One of the most popular features of Azure AD is its integration with Microsoft's suite of cloud-based services, such as Office 365 and Azure. This integration provides a seamless experience for users, allowing them to access multiple applications and services with a single set of credentials. Another aspect that users appreciate is the ability to manage access to applications and resources based on specific conditions through the Conditional Access feature. This allows organizations to enforce security policies that are tailored to their specific needs and reduce the risk of data breaches.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some organizations may find that the cost of Azure AD is higher than they are willing to pay, particularly if they have a large number of users or require access to advanced features that are only available with more expensive licensing tiers. Another potential challenge with Azure AD is its complexity, which may require organizations to invest time and resources in training and support to ensure that their administrators are proficient in using the product effectively.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're considering Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) as a potential identity and access management (IAM) solution for your organization, here are some recommendations to keep in mind: 1. Evaluate your organization's needs and requirements 2. Consider the cost 3. Take advantage of free trial 4. Invest in training and support 5. Start with a pilot project
