Centrify Peer Reviews

We didn't have a PAM solution before Centrify Zero Trust Privilege. After implementing, we gained insight and security restrictions on who can access a system, when, and what for. This tool has helped us to allow elevated privileges for end users temporarily if needed with limiting exposure. We are now able to force MFA for servers, gain screenshots and what was done while a user is on a server, again helping with security and insight into systems.

It has been a seamless implementation. We chose SAAS installation which saved us lot of time and effort in configuration. It was easy switch from POC to production. Support teams have been exceptional and always willing to help and assist! Professional services engagement was easy and hassle free.

If you want to lock down your privilege account, this is the way to do it. It took several phases to implement, but at the end it was worth the investment.

We implemented the Centrify access Manager. The product was exactly what we were looking for and support was very attentive and helpful. We have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Centrify from the initial sales person to technical support, we have been very pleased and satisfied. We would highly recommend using Centrify for privileged access management for authorization and authentication. The product has proven to now be a standard in our Unix environment and we are adding more licenses as we bring on more users and applications. We are even exploring more products to secure other environments.

Centrify has offered an excellent product, service and support -- saving our company valuable time and resources. Implementation is a breeze and administration is excellent.

A very good application for managing Privileged Accounts from different environments and OS. This application is able to give user least access to privileged accounts and very strong monitoring module to monitor use activities when user login to servers.

Centrify direct control, direct audit, multi factor authentication and PIM application are the products we are using in our organization. Not only our department, even infrastructure team is happy and satisfied with centrify product. The support is excellent...

Product suite addresses both PAM and least privilege effectively - we have so far had a good experience with deploying the product and have not seen any major show stopper issues

Very smooth from POC to implementation. Performed "bake-off" with multiple vendors, and rest either failed to provide proper support or unable to successfully showcase their product. Centrify POC was well supported without major issue. Ramping up to production was near flawless, providing capabilities needed quickly, including vaulting and and "DVR" capabilities. Has become a "goto" technology for securing multiple internal technologies. A "win" for our InfoSec team.

Powerful product with a sound Zero Trust philosophy. Centrify is truly powerful product, it is an ongoing learning process to utilize every area of the product, but in a good way. We have had a great experience with both the sales and technical team, support are also reliable and helpful.

In my experience, this product promises a total focus on security, since it requires always verifying and applying the minimum privilege for privileged access, from inside or outside the network.

Great integration with existing AD And Linux infrastructures, and applications where Multi-factor Authentication should be required. Granular options for specific deployments use cases.

Most advanced and AD integrated PAM software. Requires high capability and experience to deploy. Has many enterprise features which make it valuable to accomplish the goals of least privileged access implementation

We have worked for the past 2 years with Centrify to successfully implement their solution in our enterprise environment. They have been key partners in making sure that implementation completely meets our expectations

The product has meet all the expectations so far that we have requested. One thing we wish is the product would work with Multi-tenancy environments. The Centrify team and support staff are very helpful and responsive.

When introducing new products to your corporate environment, one must be extremely careful in planning and having the right resources to execute. We had one of the smoothest Centrify suite implementation with the help of Centrify excellent team of professional services and support team. Bridging the Linux environment into Windows Active Director was a breeze. Overall, we increase productivity and reduce risk to the organization.

I have been working with centrify suite of products for over 5 years now with 3 different clients. The roll out of centrify server suite (infrastructure) have been very smooth and most importantly the product is very stable post deployment.

I have used Centrify for many years here at my organization and I can not say enough good things about the Product and the Support teams!

This has been one of the best tools I have purchased in a long time. Both from a security standpoint, and truly overall usage. This has allowed us to cut down our attack vector without making our staff hate us by locking down rights and permissions. We looked at some of the competitors to this tool, and the setup time, ease of use, etc. are leaps and bounds better than what I saw with the competitors.

Secure positive PRV management. We use Centrify Direct Control and Direct Audit. We have this deployed in over 7,300+ servers!

The product has met our expectations. We have had great interaction with the support and sales team to adapt it to our needs and they have always been available for dialogue.

We have been using Centrify for over 6 years and are very satisfied with the technology. Centrify support is quick to respond to any inquiries and issues, however any inquiries/issues have been minimal as it just works! It is simple to maintain (on the Unix side) and there is zero anxiety in the administration of Infrastructure Services. It just works!

Centrify has given us so much more flexibility over our Linux environment and tying it into Active Directory. The product works flawlessly and we never have any issues.

We have used the Centrify product for several years and it has matured into one of the best products to secure your other-than Windows systems into AD and provide for management of users, groups, and computers -- as well as authorization, authentication, and multi-factor managed privileged usage.

A really good way to think about security, and very practical. Enables us to provide users with the minimal amount of permissions needed for their jobs.

I recommend Centrify, in my opinion as the best authentication platform on the market. with all the simplicity of installation and configuration I already use in my linux environments and in 3 years I must have opened 3 cases.

Products function as advertised, vendor is knowledgeable in this space and actively encourages clients to help shape roadmap

A Zero Trust Privilege approach helps enterprises grant least privilege access based on verifying who is requesting access, the context of the request, and the risk of the access environment. By implementing least privilege access, Zero Trust Privilege minimizes the attack surface, improves audit and compliance visibility, and reduces risk, complexity, and costs for the modern, hybrid enterprise.

Excellent support with strong subject matter expertise. Centrify has met all of our businesses needs and was deployed in record time. Privileged Services has also provided solutions for annual PCI requirements around MFA for servers as well as greatly improving our Identity Management initiatives via AD bridging for Unix machines.

well when we started the PAM we thought it only integration with the AD but we started using it around a month now and each and every day I surprise of how many things that we can utlize the solution with

Overall, we are very satisfied with Centrify. The company has consistently delivered innovative products with great customer support.

This has been one of the best tools I have purchased in a long time. Both from a security standpoint, and truly overall usage. This has allowed us to cut down our attack vector without making our staff hate us by locking down rights and permissions. We looked at some of the competitors to this tool, and the setup time, ease of use, etc. are leaps and bounds better 

The pre-sales was great. Vendor very easy to contact and fast response. The tool has a lot efficient features for PAM. Threat analysis feature, easy to use it., easy to deploy it.

Centrify has been a huge value added for us. You can install cloud connectors, as many as you need, to connect to unlimited hosts via SSH and RDP so we can easily connect to hosts remotely without the need for supporting a ton of different VPN clients. We also have Centrify to utilize our Active Directory. This eliminates a few things - like multiple logins 

solid product that I have used previously. adds a strong layer of centralized identity management and integration with active directory that allows for easy conversion to role based access. vendor is very helpful and responsive.

Great integration with existing AD And Linux infrastructues. Ease of use, with granular options.

Overall very positive experience with team and product. Implementation has been successful and adoption welcomed

What do you like best? What I like the best about Centrify is their friendly customer support. What do you dislike? If I had to chose what I dislike is that sometimes the services can have a learning curve. Recommendations to others considering the product. Continue to try and learn. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Ensuring network security for our company.

What do you like best? Zero trust security. Role based authorization and rights assignments. Support for multiple platforms. What do you dislike? Not much really. From a Centrify standpoint, if they support mainframe and other midrange solutions, it will greatly enhance their standing as the premier product that can support pretty much all Operating environments on this planet. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Securing the enterprise, from within and without.

What I like most about Centrify DirectControl is the centralize control I have over various Unix objects. The Centrify tools have exponentially increased the value I can provide to my employer, by allowing me to manage users, machine and various technologies at scale. Additionally, I'm very satisfied with the quick response to support requests. What do you dislike? I don't have any complaints, but I would recommend having a collection of examples of how to do admin tasks using automated ways, either through the CLI tools, adedit, powershell modules or the API. That would help me be more efficient since it's very time-consuming to search and peruse the Centrify community for information, that sometimes is outdated or is not supported by an older version of the product. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Some of the challenges that I have been able to solve using Centrify are user access control, access to network shares for both Windows and Unix clients, limit the proliferation of privileged users and the central management of sudo commands.

What do you like best? Centrify helps us manage UNIX, Linux, and Mac clients with a simple, yet powerful interface. Access control is as granular as you choose. Everyone at Centrify (account reps, case managers, Professional Services, ...) has been great to work with. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Standardizing from multiple authentication methods (LDAP, NIS) into a common AD-based authentication scheme. This past year, Centrify helped us work through our issues with MFA requirements. We're in a current engagement with Professional Services on an AD consolidation project, and I will bring them back in next year to help convert an LDAP environment to Centrify.

What do you like best? The integration of Unix/Linux users and groups management with Active Directory.What do you dislike? The Direct Audit PowerShell Cmdlets can only be execute locally but not remotely. Recommendations to others considering the product: The services have greatly reduced the amount of the work and time for the administrators.

Pros: I recommend Centrify, in my opinion and the best authentication platform on the market. with all the simplicity of installation and configuration I already use in my linux environments and in 3 years I must have opened 3 cases. I believe that centrify should start looking at the automation market. I believe that an infrastructure as a code and the future. When you are tired of managing local users and want to maintain an organized and standardized environment you should analyze the use of centrify for your company.
