I thought it would be 100%; everyone switched to AD after Novell. What are the 16.6% using is the interesting part?

I thought it would be 100%; everyone switched to AD after Novell. What are the 16.6% using is the interesting part?
- flatiron 4y agoGood question. I’ve worked at apple and google and both like to cook their own implementation. It was AD there.
- connordoner 4y agoWhere?
- flatiron 4y agoI guess everywhere. I’ve worked at a ton of “big” companies. All AD. Even the company’s that bake everything themselves. (I’m looking at you apple)
- detaro 4y agoAzure Active Directory. On-prem isn't counted. (Also assumptions about the domain used, which might not hold for all)
- jeffmcjunkin 4y agoNearly 100% have on-prem AD (full name: "Active Directory: Domain Services"). Azure AD is a separate identity provider -- to a first approximation it's HTTPS and cookies, not Kerberos, LDAP, and Ticket-Granting Tickets that we see on-prem.
- trevorishere 4y ago> not Kerberos Well... https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-storage-blog/public-preview-leverage-azure-active-directory-kerberos-with/ba-p/3612111 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-storage-blog/pu... :-)
- Spooky23 4y agoEveryone with O365 has Azure AD. But a smaller number has Azure AD Premium. That’s growing as salespeople get canned if they don’t sell it.
- roflyear 4y agoMS is so bad with this stuff. It's difficult to determine what value you get from premium. If I knew maybe I'd buy it!
- Spooky23 4y agoThe service is good, but really expensive and the sales tactics are sleazy. They want you paying $40/mo/head.
- m348e912 4y agoAzure AD Premium is $480/year per user???? What in the world do you get for that price point?
- realityking 4y agoIt’s not. Azure Ad P1 is $6/user/month, P2 is $9/user/month. Cheaper than Okta. OP was probably thinking of Microsoft 365 E3 which does cost $36/user/month. That however includes a bunch of other stuff besides Azure AD P1.
- Spooky23 4y agoI’m talking total subscription relationship. It’s hard to buy Azure AD alone, they push the EMS suite and O365 E5 to solve the security issues in O365 E3.
- roflyear 4y agoWhat security issues in E3?
- 4y ago
- gw99 4y agoNetIQ eDirectory tends to be the other big one. Although I am seeing a rise in companies not having an SSO solution recently at all. In fact some of the SMEs I've seen recently are running most of their stuff entirely via basic Microsoft O365 accounts or iCloud.
- roflyear 4y agoI wouldn't think SSO is the primary use for AD. Definitely one big use, though!
- connordoner 4y agoWhat do you think the primary use is?
- roflyear 4y agoUser and resource management, I'd say.
- mooreds 4y agoA lot of startups or smaller companies I've worked with are entirely on the Google stack (gmail, google drive). I imagine there's a scale when that option breaks, but I think it'd be fine until 50-100 employees.
- gw99 4y agoI've seen it working for schools with 5000+ account so it'll go well past 100 users. Not sure I'd want to depend on Google though.
- mooreds 4y agoThat's great. I thought I heard of colleges where the entire campus was on the Google stack. Looks like University of Arizona uses it: https://it.arizona.edu/google-storage https://it.arizona.edu/google-storage which has 50k students: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Arizona https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Arizona No personal familiarity with it at that scale, though.
