CyberArk Workforce Identity (formerly Idaptive Next-Gen Access) vs Univention Corporate Server (UCS)

Likelihood to Recommend

Centrify is a great solution for anyone looking to start using Office 365. It is also a great solution for anyone wanting to provide their users with an SSO solution using OAUTH, Federation, or SAML for any hosted service. If you are looking to use Centrify for MDM but you aren't using a hosted/hybrid email solution such as Office 365, there are better on-premise options that should be explored.

Univention Corporate Server is well suited:

If an Organization would like to use it as a complete Active Directory Server.
If an Organization wants to deploy other applications which are important like SSO, Mail Server, 2FA etc., as with one click all these Apps will be integrated magically thus reducing the Admin job considerably.
Web based management which will be quite useful for the Admins who are from Windows background only.
Univention as a company which has close to 2 decades of experience.

Cons

Occasionally, I get logged out of Gmail, sometimes in the middle of an email. I'm not sure why it happens, but I think it has something to do with timing out. Which is strange because I'm on email all day. Not sure why.

As Univention is from Germany, lot of informative articles are in German but English articles are also good but less in number.

Based on 8 answers

The support staff thus far has been very helpful. At times I feel they are driving the process forward without my intervention or constant reminder, which is nice to have in a company for a change. Most support seems to be a hassle but so far Centrify appears to treat your project as their own project.

Alternatives Considered

Centrify offered us more for our money by being more than just an SSO platform. There were several other features included such as MDM and MFA. This started other initiatives for us and felt the other solutions we evaluated would not have been able to provide.
