WPO365 | SEAMLESS WORDPRESS + MICROSOFT INTEGRATION (WPO365 | LOGIN)


While we ended up going a different route, this plugin was awesome & the documentation was well written. Not to mention, the few times we had to contact support their response was well written & quick! I'd highly recommend this plugin & will be sure to check this plugin out should we ever need it! 


Plugin & support are excellent!


For my day job, I manage over 100 WordPress sites (and growing; I've developed over 50 of them myself). I work for an organization that has over 2700 employees and 170+ "locations", managing over 400 domains, 100+ SSL certs, etc. As a pretty sizable organization, our IT team is hyper-focused on account safety and security. One of the ways we can get that addressed is by integrating a Microsoft Single Sign On process into WordPress and disable normal account creation processes/flows.



WPO365 delivers exactly what we need for this. There is a little bit of a learning curve and you do need to make a couple configuration changes within your Microsoft Outlook tenant, however, once set (and as long as you stay on top of updates), it pretty much takes care of itself and account security.



I will admit that we don't use all the bells and whistles this plugin comes with, but that's okay. The support (Marco) is beyond fantastic, and he does know how to take care of his customers exceptionally well.



I've actually just purchased our third license upgrade since 2021, which should take care of us for quite a while. I'm fortunate that I don't need much support from Marco, but when I do, he's there, super responsive and very personable.



Speaking as someone who doesn't really like having to pay for plugins, I have to simply say this:



Thank you, Marco and WPO365, for having a fantastic plugin that works extremely well and just for being you.
