Microsoft Entra External ID Likes & Dislikes
Microsoft Entra External ID supports federation with social providers and enterprise identity systems using standard protocols like OpenID Connect and SAML. This reduces friction for external users and simplifies onboarding at scale.
The flexibility in authentication options stands out immediately. We can let external users sign in with their existing social accounts like Google, their work accounts etc. This removes a lot of friction for end users who do not want to create yet another account just to access our service.
Automated access to resources in access packs. Automated access reviews thats end emails to line or project managers to check if access is still required. Bring your own MFA cufs down on local admin overheads.
When authentication flows fail, diagnosing the root cause often requires reviewing detailed sign-in logs and policy traces, which can be time-consuming.
Setting up user journeys, identity providers, and policies can be complex for teams that are new to the platform. The learning curve is noticeable during early implementation.
licensing is still overly complicated and a blocker to swift deployment, when budgets get hit by over or underspend
