  Only if the company supports OTP methods for Entra login (logging in to M365 account).

  But I’d say most don’t anymore, as there has been a push towards Microsoft Authenticators push-method for a while (where the website/app shows a number and you have to type it in to the authenticator), as it is a slightly safer method than OTP, and can be used passwordless.

  It also made people ready for passkeys, as the authenticator supports easy activation off passkey on accounts that are saved with push-method (you pretty much just click a button in the app), and authenticator is easy to set up on the admin side if you require device bound and attestation for passkey.

  Yeah, there is plenty of systems who do the things that Microsoft does.

  But I don’t know anyone who does it all so integrated as Microsoft does.

  Let’s say you start with the basic: you need office apps, email and storage. You have several who sell systems like that, many of them cheaper than Microsoft.

  Then you want security for your email. Iyou can go out and find some supplier for something like that, or you can buy an extra license and get EOP.

  Then you need client protection. You can go out and find a supplier, or you can buy a license and get endpoint protection.

  And since you now have EOP and endpoint protection, you can just buy the security step up from Microsoft, and you get a whole bunch more security solutions, all integrate.

  Oh and you need dataloss prevention and other such compliance solutions, so might as well go for E5, so you get whole compliance package.

  I really wish that someone could give Microsoft proper competition, because they really need it, but as it is right now, there just isn’t any unless you want to do a lot more work than it is to go for Microsoft.
