Azure is the future of Active Directory. Pros I love that Microsoft Azure provides all of the same functionality of classic Active Directory, and more, but in the cloud. It makes migrating and digitalizing your infrastructure very easy. Cons I definitely did not like some aspects of the GUI. It can be very daunting to a new administrator and even a little difficult if you have experience. But as with anything else, practice makes progress. You will eventually get the hang of it and will know where all your frequently used areas are located. Review Source DD Dandre D.
