They have it in some capacity. Most places still have a very significant on-prem or self hosted instance of AD.
This, a company/person just needs to sign up for Office 365 and then an Azure AD tenant "exists" for them as the Office 365 are in there.

#152So Okta (their main conpetitor) uses Azure AD https://login.microsoftonline.com/okta.com/.well-known/openi...
Apparently so does Google: https://login.microsoftonline.com/google.com/.well-known/ope...

#153I never thought about how the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on Google can double as an API to return the URL of the first search result before. That's pretty neat.

#154I know next to nothing about AD, but my company appears to match against this merely because we have an Office 365 account (from which we do nothing except download Word and Excel every now and then) so it doesn't necessarily mean you're using whatever it is much.
If you have Office 365 you have AAD. If you use pretty much any cloud hosted Microsoft business services, (E# licenses) you are using AAD. If you are using Azure, you are using AAD.

#155And still, in 2022, we don't have Azure AD replicating the full functionality of an on-premise AD.
What are you missing?
Re: Does Company ‘X’ have an Azure Active Directory Tenant?
#156I 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.

#157What I can’t understand is why Azure AD doesn’t have a stronger position in the consumer space. Authentication via Google, Apple, and even still Facebook are nearly always supported on customer-facing logins. I rarely see an option for Microsoft. They have a commanding position in the enterprise. What’s keeping them from crossing those enterprise boundaries?
Only very recently Windows started requiring a MS account. I'd guess most people who don't own a Xbox don't have a MS account.
I was forced to use one to set up my new laptop

Do enough people still use consumer Microsoft accounts? Except for myself, it has been a long time since I have encountered a hotmail address or live address or outlook address in the wild. I've gotten career advice several times to get a GMail instead, because Microsoft was considered out of date and backward (not so much anymore).
You can have a ms account but never use or know or share the ms email address associated with it

#159Earlier quoted context omitted.
I need to always give a password in Jira.
Jira, and the whole of Atlassian Cloud services, bundle SSO as a separate service you pay for. It's called Atlassian Access and it costs $4-$2 depending on number of users, so many companies skip it because it easily doubles your Jira/Confluece costs. sso.tax

#160I know how we feel about the Microsoft Death Star consuming all in its path, but there are some upsides to statistics like this. For instance, we are a B2B software vendor in the banking space, and we have to survive all kinds of audits regarding the nature of our code & vendors. By keeping nearly all of our 3rd party items under the Microsoft umbrella, we can automagically skip over vast chunks of our due diligence…
