Moving Premise AD to Entra/Azure

[tlin]

Hey Everyone,

We are currently on Essentials licensing. Before renewing the licenses, just wondering, do we need Advantage if we are moving toward Entra/Azure? Will we be locked out from essential features that are available on Advantage but not Essentials going forward?

Thanks!

DUO advantage wont give you much in terms of moving to Azure/entra.

There is nothing in Advantage that is specifically needed or required for Entra/Azure. Duo SSO for M365, Entra ID Sync, and the EAM and custom control Duo MFA solutions for Entra ID conditional access are all available in Duo Essentials.

This page links to the documentation pages for the additional features in Advantage if you'd like to explore what you would gain by upgrading. https://duo.com/docs/advantage-overview

ETA if you currently have AD sync set up to import your users/admins from on-premises AD into Duo, you might want to review this guide to migrating from Duo AD sync to Duo Entra ID sync: https://help.duo.com/s/article/5539?language=en_US
