Microsoft Entra ID Review: Features, Pricing & Integrations 2026
Ideal for Microsoft 365 IT admins managing SSO and MFA. It ranges from free to $12/user/mo with built-in privileged access.
Expert Analysis of Microsoft Entra ID
The Suite seat looks like the whole price, but it assumes a P1 subscription underneath, so the sticker is not the total. The paid tiers are also bundled into Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, so M365 shops may already own what they are pricing.

Microsoft Entra Conditional Access blocks access to Microsoft 365 from non-Intune-enrolled devices, enforcing that every accessing device meets security baselines without per-app VPN configuration.
Just-In-Time Admin Access via Privileged Identity Management
Entra PIM requires eligible admins to activate privileged roles for a time-bounded window with MFA and justification, eliminating standing admin access that attackers target with credential attacks.
Cross-Tenant External Collaboration via B2B Direct Connect
Entra B2B Direct Connect lets partner organization employees access shared Teams channels and apps with their own corporate credentials, removing the guest account sprawl from traditional B2B invitation flows.
