How the score is calculated

Scoring method

How the score is calculated

The score uses the category-specific buying dimensions below and their displayed weights.

This page is based on public product information, official sources, structured feature data, and AI assessment. It is not a hands-on lab test unless explicitly stated. Confidence percentages describe our research indicators, not the probability that a claim is true or a measured accuracy rate.

Why this confidence level
  • Evidence confidence uses source level and claim-to-source support; AI claim confidence is shown separately.
  • Required-field evidence status measures whether weighted required claims have evidence links; it does not mean every product behavior was independently verified.
  • 8 of 8 weighted claims have evidence links.
  • 4 A1 documentary official sources and 2 A2 official product sources are linked.
  • 1 independent review sources are retained, including 0 professional sources with an explicit hands-on method.
  • No weighted claim is past the review window.
  • No blocking evidence conflict was identified.
SSO and authentication coverage30%
76

FIDO, biometrics, mobile push and OTP support workforce authentication, and the listed editions span basic SSO in C1 to enhanced SSO in E2/E3; E1 and M1 do not include the ID Plus SSO entitlement, so buyers should match the edition to their sign-in coverage needs.

Workforce access policy control25%
67

C1, E1 and M1 list static contextual access, while E2 lists adaptive access and E3 risk-based controls; buyers needing context-sensitive enforcement should confirm the required control level and edition.

Identity lifecycle automation20%
43

Identity Governance is an optional add-on for E2 and E3, and ID Plus access reviews are described as planned; buyers needing current entitlement review should verify availability and scope before relying on it for lifecycle controls.

Identity administration visibility15%
57

Help Desk Live Verify is a stated capability that can support identity checks during assistance, while the listed package details do not establish detailed authentication-event or policy-outcome monitoring; buyers should validate the administrative views needed for operations.

Workforce identity ecosystem reliability10%
59

Microsoft Entra ID directory integration and hybrid, offline and on-premises authentication support the stated deployment contexts, but no synchronization or continuity guarantee is specified; buyers should validate their own provisioning and sign-in flows.
