Deeper integration: How BetterCloud powers your Microsoft stack

The missing piece in your Azure automation strategy: BetterCloud

Managing Azure cloud services, especially Entra ID and Intune, can feel chaotic with multiple tools and complex workflows. BetterCloud simplifies this by using API keys and deep integrations to streamline Azure automation. It doesn't replace Azure’s features but makes them easier to manage, acting as a central control panel for your Microsoft ecosystem.

Granular access control through API keys

Security is paramount. BetterCloud lets you proactively identify and address security threats through automated responses and incident remediation. API keys provide a clear audit trail. You can see who made changes, when, and what they did. This is crucial for compliance and troubleshooting. Even better, you can create multiple API keys with different access levels. This fine-grained control limits the blast radius of any potential security breach. It's like having different keys for different rooms in your house.

Finally, clear file governance for SharePoint and OneDrive

Cloud Service Providers (CSP) have notoriously complicated administrative controls that can make you jump through several hoops to perform one action. Pairing M365 with BetterCloud can give you the type of file governance you desire by giving you a crystal clear view of where those SharePoint and OneDrive files are actually located.

Offboarding employees: The ultimate checklist

After offboarding over one million employees, we decided to compile a thorough, 14-step checklist for IT teams. Our best practices will help you automate your process so that every departing employee is fully offboarded, every time, in minutes.

The colors and arrangement suggest a focus on finding order among digital clutter.

Ensure consistent access policies with BetterCloud's Entra ID integration

Gain comfort through compliance

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is a critical tool for managing identities and securing access in the modern workplace. It provides advanced features like Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and conditional access to ensure secure identity management across the organization.

Entra ID is essential for managing identities and securing access. BetterCloud complements Entra ID by adding automation, policy enforcement, and better visibility into user activity. It streamlines identity governance, automates user lifecycle management (onboarding and offboarding), and strengthens overall security. This helps ensure consistent application of access policies and proactive risk mitigation.

Complex workflows, handled

BetterCloud can automate onboarding and offboarding, ensuring new employees immediately have Intune policies applied and departing employees' access to sensitive data and applications is completely revoked. This automation minimizes manual errors and dramatically reduces IT workload.

BetterCloud's Intune integration enables automated, complex workflows. You can use Entra ID attributes, like job title, to trigger automated updates across multiple applications. Features like "wait for approval" and branching allow customization, ensuring these processes align with your specific procedures. It's about having the flexibility to automate without sacrificing control.

Extending Entra ID and Intune's Reach

Enforce security policies across your entire tech stack with Entra ID and Intune integrations. If a non-compliant device accesses applications like Microsoft Teams or OneDrive, BetterCloud can automatically adjust sharing permissions or alert IT, proactively maintaining compliance across devices and the SaaS applications users depend on.

BetterCloud strengthens data security with granular control over file sharing. While Entra ID and Intune secure devices, BetterCloud monitors file activity. This combined approach supports a robust Zero Trust strategy, verifying every user, device, and action. It's about layered security, ensuring that no stone is left unturned.
