Featured Reviews

Robin Schechinger - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Owner at Telekom Deutschland GmbH
A tool to encrypt and decrypt emails that can also be useful for general access management
I rate the initial setup process of Intercede MyID an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. The solution was deployed throughout the whole organization, meaning the solution was rolled out in my company, and that's it. The solution was deployed in a couple of days. Two people were required for the solution's deployment and maintenance phases.
MohammedTalukdar1 - PeerSpot reviewer

Identity protection has unified access control and delivers faster, risk-based threat response
The licensing for Microsoft Entra ID Protection is somewhat complex depending on whether you have an E5 or E3 licensing model, so improving the licensing models would make it a lot easier to use. The cost could always be lower; at the moment, I would say it is reasonable, but to get the full suite, you need to go for at least an E5 license, which can be very expensive. Occasionally, when we are trying to do something different in terms of integrating into a new vendor or platform, especially with some of the new SaaS platforms, there are not many out-of-the-box solutions available, so we have to build custom solutions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The feature for signing documents is important to me."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the access management."
"The valuable features of Entra ID Protection include providing me visibility of my entire estate, managing access, and having a level of control."
"I find the most valuable feature to be conditional access. It allows for comprehensive security controls, network security, and application label security."
"The deployment process is straightforward. It takes a few hours to complete."
"The solution's technical support offers great assistance to users."
"The value is significantly beneficial."
"I recommend this product overall."
"Microsoft Entra ID Protection's features are suitable for all sizes of companies; it's a must-have product because traditionally Active Directory was used for identity and authentication on computers, and now with hybrid capabilities, every company of any size needs these features and tools."
"I use conditional access most of the time."
 

Cons

"Reporting features would be a good addition to Intercede MyID, as it is one of the areas where the solution lacks."
"I'm not sure whether the solution has a mobile version or mobile dashboard, but that would be nice."
"The product's initial setup phase is not easy."
"The experience is not very smooth for the user. This is an area where Microsoft could improve the authorization process."
"The licensing for Microsoft Entra ID Protection is somewhat complex depending on whether you have an E5 or E3 licensing model, so improving the licensing models would make it a lot easier to use."
"There is room for improvement in the ability for Entra ID Protection to inherit roles and configurations from whatever solution I am migrating from, so that these don't have to be built from the ground up during the implementation process."
"The solution's sync should be faster since it can take about 30 minutes to two hours to complete a simple sync. The tool needs to sync instantly. It also needs to improve scalability, support, and stability."
"Microsoft has room for improvement in simplifying their integration with third-party solutions and making the licensing model more understandable."
"A potential area of improvement in Microsoft Entra ID Protection could include backup-level capability or snapshot capability."
"Identity protection and trust issues, particularly in hybrid environments, could be addressed better with Microsoft Entra ID Protection. This would aid connectivity concerns."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The product cost is on the expensive side."
"Azure Active Directory Identity Protection is not very expensive."
"From one to ten, if one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is competitive in the SMA segment and runs $5-$6 per user."
"The price of Azure AD is not expensive."
