It enables managers to automate workflows, track employees’ productivity, conduct behavioral analysis, and monitor user activities via a unified platform. Customers can use their local account, enterprise, or social media identities to request access to business applications. It provides a host of features such as user management, analytics, access control, security management and more. Additionally, Azure Active Directory allows administrators to manage user credentials, define access control policies and track the user journey. Azure Active Directory comes with an application programming interface (API), which facilitates integration with several third-party platforms such as Office 365, Workplace, myday, Box, SAP Concur, Canvas and more. Pricing is available on a monthly subscription and support is extended via phone, email, FAQs, documentation and other online measures. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 55 users.

Working in an ever evolving access industry, having the ability to easily manage users is critical. Simple integrations with Active Directory and Intune are important in most business applications these days. Along with integration into business applications for SSO. Extremely powerful tool. > > **Cons**: The whole suite can be a bit overwhelming at times. Between configuration, security measures, and integrations...it can get cumbersome. > > Overall, my experience has been profound. The tool has set me up for success more times than not. While there was a large learning curve, once that knowledge was established, it was a breeze. ----- ### "Cloud-first Azure AD is the way to go" — 4.0/5 > **Matt** | *3 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Extremely powerful and flexible —it does a lot including streamlining all our directory management, SSO, etc. but it also expects a lot of admins. You definitely have to know your stuff to get the most out of it. > > **Cons**: As it underpins all of the Microsoft 365 offerings an Azure AD/Entra ID outage will obviously kill a lot of your SaaS access for your entire org. Thankfully those are fairly few and far between. Microsoft is alos obsessed with moving things around and creating new portals, etc. so you need to start on top of Entra news to (re)locate things. ----- ### "The licensing model needs work." — 3.0/5 > **Brandon** | *21 November 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a natural extension from Active Directory. Syncing accounts and devices is very easy. I like that they offer things like conditional access and advanced security settings that make it possible to have a stronger security posture. > > **Cons**: I don't like how convoluted the licensing can be. While they offer some conditional access policies at our current license level, we would have to bump up to E5 or P2 add on licenses in order to take advantage of some of the more robust policies. Certain reporting options and additional settings are also all blocked by paywall forcing you to either pay more money for more licensing or look at 3rd party solutions. > > We've been using Entra ID since we've started our migration to 365. It was easy to get connected to our on-prem environment and get users moved over to Entra ID and operate in a hybrid deployment. We're now working to move to cloud only users, our endpoints have all been transitioned over to Entra ID utilizing Intune and Auto Pilot for deployment. The process has been pretty straight forward. I do wish the Microsoft Documentation was better or at least a bit easier to find. It would be nice if they had a clear step by step guide to follow. ----- ### "AD-Review 2023" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 September 2023* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Functionality wellWorking fast, easy login, very safeSync with Microsoft products cloud services > > **Cons**: Access only from server, rather then cloud based web > > Recomended dearly to all buissness to work with Azure ad and especially AD users and managment ----- ### "Inexpensive, Many Integrations" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *12 May 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cost was affordable and it provided an easy way to migrate from on prem domain controller to Azure AD. It also integrated with a number of the other SAAS applications we used making setting up integrated authentication easy. > > **Cons**: When you move a computer from Joined to a local AD over to Azure AD you lose some of the management options (GPO). ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/399665/azure-active-directory?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/399665/azure-active-directory) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
