Driving Enterprise Identity Modernization

Why Okta to Entra ID Migration is Harder Than It Looks

Moving core identity isn’t a simple “flip the switch.” Application protocols, MFA journeys, and downstream integrations make migrations deceptively complex. Success demands rigorous inventory, wave planning, security hardening, and disciplined change management.

Application Complexity

• Custom SAML/OAuth configurations require manual reconfiguration
• Legacy applications may lack Entra ID compatibility
• Third-party SaaS integrations need validation
• API-dependent apps require endpoint updates

Policy Translation Gap

• Okta and Entra ID use different policy models
• MFA methods and conditional access don't map 1:1
• Network-based policies require ground-up reimplementation
• Group-based access controls need structural redesign

Hidden Dependencies

• Nested group memberships create invisible access chains
• Workflows rely on Okta-specific APIs
• Service accounts may have undocumented integrations
• Provisioning rules contain hidden business logic

Business Continuity Risk

• Authentication failures can lock users out instantly
• Cutover windows are limited by operations
• Rollback procedures must be thoroughly documented
• Compliance requires continuous audit trails

"Manual migration approaches fail because they can't capture the complete dependency graph. Without comprehensive discovery and automated mapping, organizations face extended timelines, security gaps, and user disruption—which is why we built the Okta AI Discovery Workbench."

Why Organizations Are Moving from Okta to Entra ID?

Microsoft Entra ID isn't just an alternative to Okta—it's a strategic platform that unifies identity, security, and compliance while dramatically reducing total cost of ownership.

Consolidation at Scale

Single vendor relationship for identity and security
Unified licensing with E3/E5 bundles
Reduced tool sprawl (MFA, SSO, EDR, SIEM)

Superior Threat Intelligence

Leverage 78 trillion daily security signals across Microsoft's global infrastructure, powering 28 AI-driven risk detection types.

Native Zero Trust

Built-in conditional access, continuous verification, and least-privilege enforcement with Device, App, and User context.

Passwordless Future-Ready

Native support for FIDO2, Windows Hello, and Microsoft Authenticator eliminates password-based attack vectors.

Substantial Cost Reduction

Realize up to 77% cost savings by consolidating identity and protection into existing Microsoft 365 licenses.

Why Choose Netwoven for Okta to Entra Migration

Built from dozens of enterprise migrations, our proprietary AI Discovery Workbench eliminates guesswork with automated discovery, intelligent mapping, and predictive analytics.

Intelligent Tenant Analysis

Complete visibility into both Okta and Entra environments with AI-powered dependency mapping

• Automated API connectivity: Read-only secure access with comprehensive audit logging.
• Real-time configuration sync: Maintains accurate migration baseline.
• Dependency visualization: Reveals hidden relationships between apps, groups, and policies.

User & Group Discovery Engine

Automated inventory of all identities with conflict detection and deduplication

• Comprehensive user profiling: Captures attributes, groups, and assignments.
• Nested group resolution: Flattens complex hierarchies before migration.
• Orphaned account detection: Finds inactive users for cleanup opportunities.

Smart Application Mapping

AI-driven compatibility scoring with automated configuration templates

• Application catalog analysis: Inventories SAML, OAuth, and custom protocols.
• Compatibility scoring: Rates complexity and recommends modernization paths.
• Template generation: Creates pre-filled Entra ID app registrations.

AI-Powered Migration Intelligence

Natural language interface for instant insights and risk prediction

• Conversational query interface: "Which apps will break if we migrate Finance first?"
• Predictive risk modelling: Analyzes historical IP patterns to forecast issues.
• Automated documentation: Generates runbooks, rollback plans, and templates.

Migration Methodology

A Disciplined, Phase-Based Journey to Identity Modernization.

Assessment & Discovery

Inventory and dependency mapping

AI Discovery Workbench connects to both environments, inventories all users, groups, applications, and policies, then generates comprehensive dependency maps and compatibility reports.

Design & Planning

Architects configurations with Security Policies

Architect target Entra ID configuration, design conditional access policies, create phased migration waves, establish testing criteria, and develop comprehensive rollback procedures

Pilot & Validation

Test with select users and groups to minimize impact

Execute controlled pilot with select user groups, validate application functionality, test MFA flows, refine policies based on feedback, and finalize production procedures.

Phased Migration

Safely migrate in waves to provide time for planned user communication and ACM

Migrate users and applications in planned waves, maintain parallel authentication during transition, provide 24/7 support coverage, and monitor real-time health dashboard.

Optimization & Security Hardening

Implement advanced features and policies

Implement advanced Entra ID features, enable passwordless authentication, configure risk-based conditional access, activate Identity Protection, and establish governance workflows.

Hypercare & Knowledge Transfer

Enable a smooth transition to steady‑state operations

Provide extended support during stabilization period, conduct administrator training, deliver comprehensive documentation, and establish ongoing optimization practices.
