Cloud Sync vs. Connect Sync – What’s the Right Choice for Your Hybrid Setup?
Many organizations have relied on Entra Connect Sync for years to synchronize their on-premises identities. For a long time, it was the only option.
For the past few years, Microsoft has offered a more modern alternative: Entra Cloud Sync. With both solutions now available, administrators must decide which one best meets their current and future requirements
In this session, we’ll explore:
• Which sync engine is best for new hybrid identity setups
• Whether a migration from Connect Sync to Cloud Sync makes sense – and how it works
• How both technologies can coexist in production
• Whether it’s time to act or still safe to wait
As long as your source of truth is still on-prem, these questions matter.
We’ll walk through both technologies in a live demo lab – including best practices, real-world configurations, and common pitfalls from enterprise environments.
This is a brand-new session in 2025, including live demos and lessons learned from real-world projects
It is a level 300 with an approximate duration of 50 minutes.
