I also like the separation and ease to create service principals or applications and lock them down to specific roles.

Its cloud based and easy to access from anywhere and it really help me as an IT Administrator. And single sign on SSO is really help to manage all in one place.

Azure is a very good cloud platform, their UI is really amazing and they have great customer support, always on hand to provide support.

One of the most secure, compliant,and inexpensive IAM.

Forget passwordOccasional outages of service worldwide.

When you move a computer from Joined to a local AD over to Azure AD you lose some of the management options (GPO).

With the dizzying array of permissions available, it might be difficult to determine which one(s) to apply for a specific use case.

SSO and SAML capabilities: are stunning. AAD can serve as a SSO identify provider for all your applications that support SSO and every user can simply login with your corporate crendentials.

It's intuitive and easy to use, it's hosted in the cloud so there is rarely any downtime (if ever!).

If you are using hybrid mode it can be a bit of a pain to set two way communication between Azure back to On-premise.

Ease of deployment and support from Microsoft is key to a successful deployment in AAD.

It also integrated with a number of the other SAAS applications we used making setting up integrated authentication easy.

In terms of the dizzying amount of permissions it can be tricky at times to know exactly which one/s you should apply for a given use case.

Azure is less complex and very user friendly. I would greatly recommend to any organization looking at onboarding cloud services.

The AAD is a great and excellent feature that allows you to manage your organization users, computer etc in cloud. The hybrid feature also allows you easily manage your existing on prem servers.

The learning curve, however arguably every software product involves some level of prior skill.

I love AAD for its integration into the rest of the O365 & M365 suite.

If we have an outage and can't conenct to Azure AD as has happened in the past, we lose access to other systems  such as Office, Microsoft Teams etc. This can obviously lead to productivity issues.

As for the users they are afforded quick and simple access, which doesn't interrupt their workflow or productivity, while still keeping them and the organisation safe.

With more companies moving to Cloud Operations, Azure AD is the choice that makes sense. Microsoft also provides great customer service with experts available to help out on different service levels.

There is the seamless integration with on premise Active Directory that makes it easy to sync and migrate.

Cost was affordable and it provided an easy way to migrate from on prem domain controller to Azure AD.

Users and groups management with AAD is super easy and even the most complex use-cases can easily be implemented.

The best solution for a Microsoft-heavy company.

Experience has always been great. Responses are always so quick and timely, and the staff are easy to work with and always provide the best assistance.

It plugs right into Shopify and is very easy to set-up. Plus website visitors know it so they feel comfortable using it.

I would also have to say that I really like being able to see all of the activity that's happening, and how detailed that information is.

It was almost too easy to use, yet, had excellent security.

Overall the experience has been great, I wish I had taken advantage of these deals and discounts years before.

The only complaint we have seen is with Yubikeys, there is an additional step required to login.

Say goodbye to people stealing your information.

It makes me feel very in control of my own security of information with that feature, because I know that Id. me would definitely show me if a site was using my identification without my consent.

We're able to create a brand new channel and help new customers with Id.me. We enjoy offering our best discounts to frontline heroes like medical personnel, nurses and teachers and more.

It really does help having all of my identification information all in one space. It keeps me feeling much more organized, and in control of my own security.

Easy to use, best identity management service out there.

When I first started using id.me it was hard finding the tab for discounts.

I've found that ID.me is helping me save a lot of time because of what it's doin by keeping all of my info in one place also.

The ease that users are able to get their identity verified, is efficient and allows for them to be on-boarded quickly.

We use this for special group discounts, and have never had a problem arise from the tool. The implementation is pretty simple when integrated with Salesforce.

It has been difficult to implement with our ecomm platform, but that's on our end.

It's difficult to navigate around the site when you first start.

Easy integration and effective control of coupons to qualified first responders and military.

We like the Id.me shop and ability to partner with ID.Me to market to customers who haven't heard of us.
