Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Reviews

MFA is much better than 2FA since you have several different options of verification. Easy to implement and fairly user friendly.

None, the product works as well as it can with little to no administration.

Security problems are now much more rare with unauthorized account access.

The authentication process on Microsoft Azure takes security to a level most would dream of. If I wasn't using this level of security I would be spooked out of work.

What is there to dislike about security? other than the amount of memory it uses, there isn't much to complain about after it's done doing it's job.

It keeps our network safe and secure. Without this authentication we could have multiple breaches a day.

The ability to easily control the verification processes for people accessing confidential information. The ability to access all types of phones (land lines, cellular, google).

No integration for video services like Skype.

Jump in. Does everything the average to above average user would need to with, with ease.

Quick and easy for other members of our organization to get authorization to view a file and assist a customer.

The service is very reliable, and the multi-factor app with push notifications makes the login process so much smoother. The app also accepts fingerprints instead of a numeric code (touch id on iPhone, fingerprints on Android), so that your 2 factor request is approved at the touch of your thumb. No punching numbers anymore!

You have to open the app manually if the push notification disappears. There can be better integration with the mobile products, like opening the app automatically if the notification appears.

Do it. It's the best in the industry for 2-factor auth.

Better security for all of your company login websites. This has made internal resources very secure, even if a user's password is compromised, a login cannot be forged without 2-factor.

Microsoft offers one of the most reliable and cost effective MFA solutions we could find. You have the ability to choose txt message, phone call or smart phone app for approving log ins. There is even an included self service portal for users to modify their own options.

Payment options are nice, you can buy blocks of users or Pay-as-You-Go based on the number of active users that month.

The initial deployment was confusing, the documentation was difficult to find and dispersed across several sites. We didn't receive much support during the deployment.

We could not find another solution that met our needs. It was surprising how few companies offered anything but a cloud hosted txt message only MFA solution.

Using the Azure MFA we are able to properly lock down our user's VPN connection. We have even implemented it on admin authentications to our security appliances.

System is awesome that provides either text message phone call or app. It integrates with our AD to provide authentication for multiple apps

Just a wish that I could force AD authentication to use multi factor

If you want something that is simple to use and gets the job done then this is the product for you. It is easy to set up and authenticate. We never have problems of it failing to do its job properly. The largest time spent was training users and getting them to active their mobile phones

Security audits and applications that require two factor authentication

Microsoft Azure Multifactor Authentication offers several technologies, and simple APIs, to can easily integrate this service into almost any app, webapp, or library.

Azure MFA, used in conjunction with the Microsoft Authenticator app, makes the login experience very fluent. That's because Microsoft Authenticator's elegant app shows a suitable and straightforward "approve the login?" window on mobile devices automatically, one doesn't "have" to always open the 2FA app. This is a major plus.

Combining Azure MFA with MS Authenticator app is an excellent and secure combination. I like to develop using both tools.

Besides high security standards (something offered by all major companies), Azure integrates so well with other tools offered by Microsoft, that speeds up any development.

Microsoft's clear intention of making a password-less digital world is a tremendous competitive advantage, being "Windows Hello" an example.

I like the fact that I can rely on this platform is on the leading edge of user experience, which is excellent for any business. And almost as important, Azure MFA is, naturally, as secure as any other major competitor in my experience.

You will find it easier to integrate if you use dotnet framework; you'll find a new portal to help you. "Azure" changed in the last years, from being too messy into a simple and clear experience.

Finally, for all the developers, Azure's MFA APIs are straightforward, which is naturally desired.

Making the CD/CI a reality, without sacrifizing our time investing in weeks of learning how to secure your products and services. Something that is "a must", but is often very complex to learn and implent.

In short: secure, simple to implement, and a satisfactory experience for your users.

I dislike the fact that at the moment of writing this review, the OAuth hardware token is still in "preview" (beta).

My advice is, try to use all the related services made by the same corporation that Azure.

If you use Azure MFA, try to use Active Directory, Windows Hello, and so on because it's simpler. It's not mandatory, though.

Easy integration and migration of old systems. Well-designed API.

I like the fact that hooking up the two factor authentication is really quick and that you can add your alternate email or even phone number in a few simple steps.

I dislike that there isn't an option yet to add an alternative email as another layer of security, since this should be a fundamental tier of authentication.

This is recommended for web app developers who wish to have a fairly reliable cloud hosting service. However, AWS may be more suitable for ones who are familiar with that stack.

I am building a photo sharing website and currently developing a mobile app for photo sharing as well. Am experimenting with Azure for cloud hosting and deploying my web application.

It works great and with other apps not including microsoft such are authy or google's authenticator.

Microsoft has their own authenticator too which is pretty nice. It's really fast and easy to use for the most part.

MFA is just cumbersome wish it was easier like google's one touch.

I wish it were easier to set up for end users since there are a couple of steps to set up and sometimes users are not very savvy.

included for free with office365 -- use it!

We are solving security holes in our login process.

We have realized that just a user and password is not secure now a days and you need multiple lines of security. We also use a VPN option that we are able to integrate with this all-in-one solution. It is very nice to use just one application for all.

The ability to access my info anywhere without having to call the office

Trouble connecting continuously crashes and logs you out on its own

Awesome for detailed info and ease of access when you don’t work in a traditional office

Accessing info everywhere being able to keep track of client info in the palm of my hand and having the security codes to log in and out
