Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft Entra ID is the cloud identity layer for Microsoft 365 and Azure, handling SSO, MFA, Conditional Access, and directory services for 300+ million users globally. Included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium and above; P1/P2 add-ons extend it to advanced conditional access and PIM. The price-to-value ratio is unbeatable if you're already paying for Microsoft 365.
Buy Entra ID if you're already on Microsoft 365 - the licensing math alone makes it a clear win over Okta. Start looking at Okta when you have significant non-Microsoft SaaS sprawl or need customer identity features that Entra External ID doesn't cover well.
