Hybrid Creates 90% More Burden

Most organizations see a 90% increase in administrative burden after moving to hybrid or cloud.

Single Screen Hybrid Active Directory Management Software

Do More With Less – Manage On-Prem AD, Entra ID, and Office 365 in One, Unified Solution

Hybrid Active Directory (AD) is critical to the operations of approximately 90% of global enterprises. But native and 3rd party tools meant to simplify only increase the burden because they were built for a different era. Modern organizations co-manage hybrid identities without disjointed interfaces and homegrown scripts.

Why Cayosoft Administrator

Cayosoft Administrator simplifies the management of Active Directory and Office 365 by bringing together a unified interface for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Cayosoft Administrator brings task, group, and policy automation coupled with granular delegation and license optimization ensuring you can do more with less. Cayosoft Administrator drives security, efficiency, and governance over administrators, help desk staff, and end users!

Increase Admin Efficiency

Eliminate manual, error-prone processes. Save time and cost. Manage hybrid AD from one screen.

Automate Complexity

Automate time-consuming tasks and empower users. Simplify reporting and auditing.

Bolster AD Security

Control permissions and administer zero trust. Eliminate vulnerabilities and reduce attack surfaces.

Features & Benefits

  • Simplify AD Management

  • True Hybrid Administration

    Native tools require up to 20+ consoles to complete hybrid administration across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid Microsoft environments. Most vendors require multiple products and were built for a bygone era. Cayosoft Administrator unifies hybrid Active Directory administration. With a single, unified console, secured with AD, Entra ID, Office 365, and Okta integrated SSO, Cayosoft Administrator enables you to more efficiently operate your Microsoft accounts.

    Benefits:

    • Spend less time managing your hybrid AD & Office 365 environments
    • Future-proof solution: Not ready for cloud yet? No problem, it’s there when ready
    • Consolidate multi-product licensing from competitors. Cayosoft = 1 product, 1 console

  • Automate Daily Tasks

  • Automation of Common Administrative Tasks

    Full lifecycle automation with a rich set of automation and reporting rules, as well as runbooks, allow you to remove the human factor by automating the execution of complex IT tasks that eliminate errors that can place security and compliance goals in jeopardy. Runbooks automate task execution without intervention, meaning better efficiency and the ability to dynamically keep data accurate, which in turn keeps IT operating smoothly.

    Benefits:

    • Reduce human errors & the associated costs
    • Accomplish more with less people — automation is the equalizer
    • Require less high-priced administrators

  • Control Access

  • Unified Role Based Delegation for Granular Security and Self-Service Administration

    Safe delegation for day-to-day administrators and self-service tasks through granular access roles, dynamic attribute policies, and change auditing mean more control and less chance for problems. Cayosoft allows you to delegate across and between environments with one unified set of easy-to-configure roles enforcing a granular, least-privileged administrative model, even in complex hybrid environments. Roles do not require native permissions, dramatically improving security and reducing the number of individuals requiring elite access.

    Benefits:

    • Eliminate high-priced administrators from performing common tasks across AD & Office 365
    • Stop the bad behavior of giving all admins global rights
    • Reduce the administrative burden by offering granular & locked down self-service for users

  • Streamline Group Management

  • Group Lifecycle Automation and Governance

    Manually managing groups is tedious and time consuming. More importantly mistakes and errors can cause dangerous results. Because of the access security groups represent, they are regular targets for cyberattackers, auditors, and compliance officers. Cayosoft Administrator can automate group memberships, dynamically update when changes occur, and prevent inappropriate membership with rules and restrictive groups.

    Benefits:

    • Save time & improve security by automating security group lifecycles
    • Ensure proper & accurate groups at ALL times
    • Self-service coupled with governance means users can self-manage — save more admin time
    • Empower application & data owners to control access to their own resources with IT control

  • Optimize Microsoft Licenses

  • Microsoft License Optimization and Management

    With a massive number of checkboxes to assign proper licenses and access, Microsoft administrators understandably make mistakes that result in preventable waste. As budgets tighten in 2023, no one wants to overspend on licensing. Cayosoft Administrator provides full control over Microsoft 365 license assignments with license quotas, cost optimization, and license profiles, as well as delegated and automated assignments.

    Benefits:

    • Save costs related to over/under licensed users
    • Eliminate misassigned license outages
    • Save administration time — focus on higher-value projects

  • Easily Provision Users

  • Automated User Provisioning and User Deprovisioning

    Manual user provisioning, deprovisioning, and account management is a time drain. Hybrid environments (on-prem, Azure, Office 365) only make matters worse. Mistakes to license assignment, privileged access, and group membership can be costly, and failing to deprovision accounts properly opens the door to attackers. Cayosoft Administrator performs smart-account provisioning from HR systems and external data sources that is automated with rules and configurations to prevent mistakes.

    Benefits:

    • Increase security by automating assignment or removal of access
    • Save time & eliminate errors by automating the entitlement process
    • Get new users productive as quickly as possible

  • Manage Microsoft Teams

  • Microsoft Teams Administration and Governance

    With Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Office 365, the benefits of collaboration are not in question. It is however, increasingly difficult for IT and service owners to manage the sprawl they often create. With an eye toward security and time efficiency, Cayosoft Administrator brings advanced Teams administration with delegation, automatically updated groups/Teams membership, telephony management, and policy assignment control.

    Benefits:

    • Bring more security & availability to Microsoft Teams
    • Automate Teams management — much less manual time

Yes. Administrator uses granular, Role-based delegation for implementing least-privileged access.  One unified set of easy-to-configure Roles enforce a granular, least-privileged administrative model over all of the systems being managed, even in complex hybrid environments. 

No, they are not required, but Administrator will see any existing schema extensions and can be used to manage them.

Cayosoft Administrator usually installs in less than one hour.

Configuration time varies based on which areas of functionality being used.  Self-service group management can be set up in as little as an hour, while self-service password management usually takes about 2 hours.  Complete setup of user provisioning, including integration with HR systems (or other systems of record) may take 1-2 days, depending on the responsiveness of HR or other departments in the organization.

Hidden Costs of AD User Account Provisioning

It’s estimated that the provisioning process can cost between $15 and $60 per user – and that’s just for the account creation. When adding in the costs associated with updating or deprovisioning the account, those numbers climb even higher.
