Overall Satisfaction with Centrify
For my Apple focused group, we see Centrify as a great fit for organizations that have concerns with binding Macs into Active Directory. For many IT departments, AD is THE way they manage users through group policy. Therefore, the ability to extend that out to Macs is a huge plus. They continue to "live" in AD and do not have to learn a new application, or go to another dashboard to do their job.
- Active Directory integration for Mac user authentication and user and group management.
- Smart card login to Active Directory provides strong authentication and SSO to enterprise services
- Includes a cloud-based architecture for managing remote Macs that leverages Apple's mobile device support and profile-based management
- It would be nice if an end user could open a helpdesk ticket directly from the App in Mac
- Centrify has helped with several key accounts which lead to sale of other hardware and services.

Centrify is positioned as a Visionary in 2014 on Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Management as a Service. Centrify integrates identity and mobility management to provide secure, managed application access from any device – all based on a single user identity. Many companies can overlap in places, but depending on what you are trying to do, I would recommend giving Centrify a good look.
