Overall Satisfaction with Centrify Application Services
Centrify Multifactor and Same Sign-On (SSO) functionality were rolled out to our entire company to protect the companies resources and IT systems from unauthorized access. Passwords are no longer safe enough and expecting our users to remember many different passwords simply isn't an answer. We selected Centrify to protect access to our companies resources from anyone accessing the systems external to one of our branch offices. If external to the company, you must perform a multifactor authentication to gain access -- across all systems, period. Internally and externally, we utilize Centrify so that users can log in to many different IT systems using just their email address and network password. This reduces the number of passwords a user is expected to know.
- Many methods of Multifactor Authentication - a Phone call, SMS text message, security questions, mobile app, etc.
- Top Notch Support - Willing to work on issues until resolved.
- System Up-time and Stability.
- Security-Minded Company.
- Lacks a large application catalog of pre-built solutions to work with many online vendors. Okta and Duo have a larger catalog of pre-built solutions to just click and configure. Centrify lacks this, but their support is great at configuring the applications regardless of the catalog.
- ROI of the product is hard to measure, as with all security products. When working properly and protecting the company, the company is less susceptible to data leaks, hacks, and breaches. This is worth every penny.
Centrify's pricing was much better than their competitors. They also offered a better sign-in/multi-factor experience for our users when doing pilot testing. Their product also included other features like Mobile Device Management that was a nice add-on.
