I help administer the identity use cases for Microsoft Entra ID. We use it as our primary identity in a hybrid configuration with our on-prem Active Directory. This also provides the base for our Office 365 products.
- Foundation for O365.
- Mechanism for modern authentication (SSO, SAML, OAuth, OIDC).
- Feature-rich with controls like Conditional Access to enforce MFA and other access restrictions to company applications.

- Have been able to modernize SSO from ADFS to save on configuration and server management.
- Modernize MFA options over legacy onprem solutions and replace other products/expenses.
- Seamlessly expand AD into the public cloud space to use established identities for those use cases.
We use Active Directory for our underlying identity and integrate Entra ID into that. We have on-prem data centers as well as public cloud configurations using these technologies to underpin our identity.
We use Entra ID as our primary means of integrating our identity with many products, both legacy on-prem as well as other cloud SaaS solutions. This allows SSO and Multifactor abilities to monitor and protect.
Cloud products like Workday and Salesforce work well with Entra ID as well as on-prem versions of Jira and Confluence.
User experience is streamlined by the use of Entra ID to protect our applications and provide SSO features that users expect.
Okta appears to be a capable product, but if you are using O365 or Azure, the licensing doesn't make sense.

This is used to manage our user identity. Identity is to control access to most applications that are used by out users. There are many related features like Conditional Access that enforce policies for applications like devices, location, multi factor and other similar controls.

Licensing to bundle Microsoft 365 with Entra ID is very compelling.
Review other providers features and licensing as it would relate to Microsoft 365.

Often the hardest part of implantations like these is to identity where impacts are and working with teams to help minimize negative impacts.
