In Microsoft Azure , what is the difference between Azure AD device and MSOL device

I was trying to find out all the devices synchronized with Azure AD from On-premises AD, while searching I came accross two powershell commands Get-AzureADDevice and Get-MsolDevice. What is the difference between these two commands.

Get-AzureADDevice is part of the new module and should be used whenever possible. Some scenarios might not yet be available, e.g. LifeCycle management

MSOnline

The MSOnline Module, with its -MSOL cmdlets, was the first Windows PowerShell Module for Azure Active Directory. Microsoft refers to this module as version 1.0. MSOnline is the old module, which can still provide functionality that is not yet available in the AzureAD module. Probably, the MSOnline module will be deprecated when all of the functionality has been migrated to the newer module called AzureAD.

AzureAD

Its full name is Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph. Microsoft refers to this module as version 2.0. The AzureAD module, and its dependencies, can be installed and updated using PowerShellGet from the PowerShell Gallery.

Microsoft recommends to use the newer AzureAD module.
