About Azure Active Directory

Azure Active Directory was launched by Microsoft in 2013. It was created to provide a comprehensive identity and access management solution tailored for cloud environments. The service aimed to address the growing need for secure authentication and authorization as organizations increasingly adopted cloud-based applications and services.

Azure Active Directory's strengths include seamless integration with Microsoft services, robust security features like multifactor authentication, and extensive scalability to support large enterprises. Its weaknesses may involve complexity in setup for non-Microsoft environments and potential challenges in hybrid deployments. Competitors include Okta, Google Cloud Identity, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
