Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Microsoft Entra ID
Best for: Companies running Microsoft 365
Entra ID earns its place because it is often already your identity provider, so the question is how far to extend it rather than whether to buy it. It fits companies of any size on Microsoft 365. Map what your current license includes against what you need, such as privileged identity management, before you add a second identity product.
