What is Centrify / Idaptive (discontinued, superseded by Idira Identity Platform)?

Centrify's identity-as-a-service line, which became Idaptive in 2019, was a cloud identity and access management product for workforce users. It provided single sign-on (SSO), adaptive multifactor authentication (MFA), enterprise mobility management, and user behavior analytics. The product is discontinued, and its capabilities are now superseded by the Idira Identity Platform from Palo Alto Networks.

Customer Success Manager in Professional Services at Zoom Video Communications (501-1000 employees)

Pros

It's clean, steady, reliable, and secure.
It always works which is important.
It's easy to integrate with other programs, like Zoom.

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.

Return on Investment

It's more security and ease of use than ROI, so I couldn't measure that impact.
