In this article Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management service. Azure AD enables your employees access external resources, such as Microsoft 365, the Azure portal, and thousands of other SaaS applications. Azure Active Directory also helps them access internal resources like apps on your corporate intranet, and any cloud apps developed for your own organization. To learn how to create a tenant, see To learn the differences between Active Directory and Azure Active Directory, see Who uses Azure AD? Azure AD provides different benefits to members of your organization based on their role: • IT admins use Azure AD to control access to apps and app resources, based on business requirements. For example, as an IT admin, you can use Azure AD to require multi-factor authentication when accessing important organizational resources. You could also use Azure AD to automate user provisioning between your existing Windows Server AD and your cloud apps, including Microsoft 365. Finally, Azure AD gives you powerful tools to automatically help protect user identities and credentials and to meet your access governance requirements.

For administrators managing assets across enterprise networks, Active Directory is one of the most important tools in their toolbox. It doesn’t matter how large or small your operation is—managing assets, users, and authorizations across your network can be a headache. While Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is pretty indispensable when it comes to keeping tabs on network objects, updating who has access to what, and staying in compliance with necessary regulations, I’m probably not surprising anyone by saying that the program can be cumbersome to operate on its own. Thankfully, you don’t have to just grin and bear it when it comes to Active Directory’s native tools. By using third-party Best Active Directory Management Tools Feel free to jump ahead or continue reading: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Passportal Each of these AD management tools comes with its own advantages and disadvantages, but the bottom line is that third-party options will all help you get more done with Active Directory than the platform’s native tools.

I’m just acknowledging that most teams are going to need to invest in additional solutions to actually reap the benefits AD has to offer. If you’re in the market for that kind of solution, my list below should be a good place to start . I start with what I consider the most enterprise-ready solution. But after that, I just provide the basics on various tools...
