Microsoft Azure Active Directory vs Google Cloud Identity
Developers should learn Azure AD when building applications that require secure user authentication, especially in enterprise or Microsoft-centric ecosystems, such as integrating with Office 365, Azure services, or custom SaaS applications meets developers should learn google cloud identity when building or managing applications on google cloud platform (gcp) to implement secure authentication, authorization, and compliance controls. Here's our take.
Microsoft Azure Active Directory
Developers should learn Azure AD when building applications that require secure user authentication, especially in enterprise or Microsoft-centric ecosystems, such as integrating with Office 365, Azure services, or custom SaaS applications
Microsoft Azure Active Directory
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Azure AD when building applications that require secure user authentication, especially in enterprise or Microsoft-centric ecosystems, such as integrating with Office 365, Azure services, or custom SaaS applications
Pros
- +It is essential for implementing identity solutions like OAuth 2
- +Related to: oauth-2.0, openid-connect
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Google Cloud Identity
Developers should learn Google Cloud Identity when building or managing applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to implement secure authentication, authorization, and compliance controls
Pros
- +It is essential for scenarios like enterprise application integration, managing user access to cloud resources, and enforcing security policies across hybrid or multi-cloud environments
- +Related to: google-cloud-platform, identity-and-access-management
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Microsoft Azure Active Directory if: You want it is essential for implementing identity solutions like oauth 2 and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Google Cloud Identity if: You prioritize it is essential for scenarios like enterprise application integration, managing user access to cloud resources, and enforcing security policies across hybrid or multi-cloud environments over what Microsoft Azure Active Directory offers.
