What differentiates Microsoft Entra PIM from other similar products?

I would say the features which includes, 1. SSO (Single Sign-On), which enables users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials 2. MFA( Multi-Factor Authentication), which provides users with an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide additional authentication factors before they can access resources 3. Identity protection - helps protect against identity-based attacks by detecting and alerting on suspicious activity. 4. Identity governance - enables organizations to manage user access and privileges to ensure compliance with security policies.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The features provided by the product. 1. Easy access to resources: Azure AD enables users to access multiple applications and services using a single set of credentials, which can reduce the burden on IT support staff. 2. Providing identity governance - Azure AD enables organizations to manage user access and privileges to ensure compliance with security policies and regulations. 3. Improved Security: Azure AD provides security features like MFA and Identity Protection to protect aganist identity-based attacks.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some of the things which I dislike are: 1. Cost: In every organization, cost is one of the main dislikes, particularly if they have many users or need to use advanced features. 2. Complexity: For a less experienced developer or a fresher, It will be a challenge since Azure AD has many features and capabilities, making it complex to set up and manage.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I highly recommend the product as It is one of the best cloud-based identity and access management service.

What differentiates Microsoft Entra PIM from other similar products?

They have the ground to work up from, they own the account and windows administration game. There are other softwares to get but you ither have to use this one with yours if they support it or user intune and waist your life away waiting for it to update. Moral of the story, you have to use azure to make windows work how you think it should. Your land locked or you build your own boat.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's the only software you can use. If you want to use a diffrent MDM your stuck with this for your account management and there's nothing you can do but make a windows server and host your own accounts or just deal with it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Don't unless you have to use it. Your going to struggle alot setting it up, it's a pain frankly. If you can help it stay away or just use the account login features to plug in with your systems but don't use intune it's a steaming pile of broken hopes and dreams.

Pros

  • Unique Features
  • Enables Productivity
  • Client Friendly Policies
  • Security Protects

Cons

  • Less Reliable
  • Less Caring
  • Wastes Time
