Yes, Microsoft 365 comes with Azure Portal (specifically the Microsoft Entra ID Free tier). However, it does not include paid Azure services like virtual machines, SQL databases, or storage; those require a separate, paid Azure subscription.
Microsoft Entra ID Free tier includes:
- Identity & Access Management: Basic user and group management.
- Single Sign-On (SSO): Unlimited SSO for accessing cloud apps, including Microsoft 365 and thousands of pre-integrated SaaS applications.
- Security Defaults: Pre-configured security settings that enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all users and administrators, designed to protect against common attacks.
- Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR): Allows cloud-only users to reset their own passwords.
- Hybrid Identity: Synchronize on-premises Active Directory with Microsoft Entra ID using Entra Connect Sync.
- Device Management: Basic device registration.
- Reporting: Basic security and usage reports.
Limitations of the Free Tier:
- No advanced security features like Conditional Access (IP-based restrictions, risk-based policies).
- No advanced governance (like access reviews).
- No support for automatic user provisioning.
