What reviewers say
Azure AD DS: A Solid, No-Fuss Bridge for Legacy Apps That Just Works
“Azure AD DS is a solid, no-fuss bridge that lets your legacy apps speak their native language (LDAP, Kerberos, Group Policy) without you babysitting domain controllers. It just works — and in infrastructure, that's everything.”
Easy-to-Use UI and Seamless SSO with Azure Active Directory
“Azure Active Directory is one of the best options for domain services. With this AD, I can integrate multiple applications through SSO. Azure Active Directory Domain Services is also very easy to use because of the UI. I can easily manage my office employees’ identities.”
Managed AD Services
“I like Azure Active Directory Domain Services for its Ease of Use and Ease of Implementation, strong Customer Support, frequent Frequency of Use for legacy workloads, sufficient Number of Features, and seamless Ease of Integration with Azure AD and applications.”
