The way Microsoft does enterprise price bundling, this is not surprising at all.

#13Assuming the #1 Google result on page 1 of search is the companies public domain is a flaw.
Some companies use a different domain for corporate use than their public domain name.

#14Which products are used by large companies that don't have a AAD / AD structure?
On prem AD?
In contrast, the vast majority of companies with Azure AD also have on-prem AD (full name: "Active Directory: Domain Services") with some type of synchronization between them. Usually this amounts to having an on-prem service that shleps password hashes (technically salted, stretched hashed versions of the on-prem hashes) to Azure.

#15I thought it would be 100%; everyone switched to AD after Novell. What are the 16.6% using is the interesting part?
Nearly 100% have on-prem AD (full name: "Active Directory: Domain Services"). Azure AD is a separate identity provider -- to a first approximation it's HTTPS and cookies, not Kerberos, LDAP, and Ticket-Granting Tickets that we see on-prem.

Everyone with O365 has Azure AD. But a smaller number has Azure AD Premium.
That’s growing as salespeople get canned if they don’t sell it.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
But also, what does it say about anything?
Microsoft absolutely dominates corporate IT. Their Office 360 delivers to much values at a low cost that the corps suffer from mediocre MS products because it's all there through a single subscription.
Same for the Google options; except the Google options tend to make non-backward compatible changes and often only go 90% of the way to meet the competition in terms of features. Even their spam detection is not where postini had it years ago.

#18This is assuming the domain has it, but it's even easier actually - you can just DIG DNS records and see if what they run as MX, cnames, etc, if there is teams DNS records and the MX record points to *.onmicrosoft.com or $tenantname.mail.protection.outlook.com there you go, even easier than "querying" google and seeing what's index.
And much easier to script too. ;)

#19And still, in 2022, we don't have Azure AD replicating the full functionality of an on-premise AD.

They said that
One thing to note about these results is that when we get a result that says the company has a tenant, we are nearly 100% correct in that fact. However, if we say that a company does not have a tenant, we are not necessarily correct. It is possible that the google result did not point to their actual domain name, or they are using a different domain name for their AAD Tenant.
If you wanted to do this really robustly, you would probably want to get a better source for your domain names than automated google search results. You might want to also look at other combinations like “companyname.onmicrosoft.com”, however we are doing just rough estimates here.
