Getting ready
To make a choice, you'll need to understand the following characteristics of your organization:

- Does your organization already have a federation solution and use claims-based applications inside your organization or cloud-based applications, systems, and/or services?
- Does your organization rely on on-premises multi-factor authentication solutions?
- Is your organization's Security Incident and Event Monitoring (SIEM) solution cloud-aware?
- Do people in your organization use Internet Explorer, Edge, or another browser as their default browser?
