What is unique about Centrify DirectControl?
In general most identity management solutions force customers to utilize their own proprietary infrastructure and technology and simply synchronize data with Active Directory, thereby keeping the existing silos of redundant identity stores intact. When compared to commercial or open source solutions that provide some levels of interoperability with Active Directory, Centrify differentiates itself by delivering a seamlessly integrated solution that provides tighter integration with Active Directory, including support for Active Directory’s robust policy management capabilities across a heterogeneous environment. In addition, Centrify DirectControl does not require costly and intrusive changes to a customer’s Active Directory and Unix/Linux environments. For example, DirectControl does not require changes to the Active Directory schema or require rationalization of an organization’s Unix UIDs but instead allows administrators to map multiple Unix UIDs to a single Active Directory account
