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.

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

Cayosoft Administrator FAQ

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Cayosoft is the leader in hybrid Microsoft identity management, trusted by enterprises worldwide. We deliver automation, security, and recovery for AD, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365—all from a single platform. With 99% customer retention, 100% hybrid focus, and 100% customer satisfaction, customers don’t just trust Cayosoft—they love us.

It’s your all-in-one platform for managing hybrid Microsoft environments. Cayosoft unifies tasks across Active Directory, Entra ID (Azure AD), Microsoft 365, Exchange, Intune, and Teams, providing IT with a single, secure interface to automate, delegate, and enforce policies without relying on scripts.

It’s built for IT admins, engineers, and directors who need to simplify identity tasks across on-prem and cloud systems. If you’re juggling manual workflows, compliance requirements, or hybrid sprawl, Cayosoft helps bring order and automation—fast.

Yes—especially if:

  • You’re tired of constant patching or licensing games
  • Scripts are breaking in hybrid environments
  • You’re stuck managing AD, Entra ID, and M365 with separate tools
Feature Cayosoft Quest Tools
Hybrid AD + Entra ID support Native Partial or separate tools
License optimization Built-in Not included
Rule-based automation GUl-driven Script-heavy
Single console One pane of glass Multiple products required

Smooth. Cayosoft features white-glove onboarding to make it easy. Many customers migrate in phases—Cayosoft’s agentless setup, out-of-box rules, and onboarding support make it fast. One state agency replaced Quest and consolidated over 80 policies into two clean Cayosoft rules. THE IRS, which recently replaced Quest with Cayosoft, is relying on Cayosoft to modernize its identity management system, increase efficiency and save a ton of money.

MANAGING ACTIVE DIRECTORY AND HYBRID AD

The key to automated provisioning in hybrid environments is aligning your HR system with your identity platforms—and enforcing consistent rules from day one.

Cayosoft Administrator connects to your HRIS or directory input and drives policy-based provisioning across Active Directory, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365—assigning licenses, groups, mailboxes, and roles automatically. No scripting. No delays. Just clean, secure provisioning that scales with your business.

The best way to manage Microsoft identities—across Active Directory, Entra ID (Azure AD), and Microsoft 365—is with a platform that’s purpose-built for hybrid environments, Zero Trust, and automation.

The best should include:

  • One platform for hybrid identity
    Manage users, groups, roles, and licenses across AD and cloud—without switching tools or writing scripts.
  • Built-in automation
    Automate provisioning, deprovisioning, and access enforcement based on business rules and HR data.
  • Zero Trust-ready architecture
    Enforce least privilege, apply role-based access, and control delegation with roles and rules.
  • Real-time visibility and auditing
    Know who changed what, when, and why—across both on-prem and cloud.
  • No scripting. No patchwork. No risk.
    Just secure, scalable identity management that works from day one.

Cayosoft Administrator provides a single, secure platform for managing users, groups, licenses, and policies across on-premises AD and cloud services, including Entra ID, Exchange, Teams, and Intune. It’s purpose-built for hybrid IT—no patchwork, no plugins, no compromises.

Relying on scripts to implement Zero Trust is like building a security system with duct tape and hope. It might work at first, but it’s fragile, inconsistent, and risky at scale. It’s one reason an organization will want to replace Quest.

Here’s why scripting your way to Zero Trust is dangerous:

  • Human Error = Security Gaps
    Scripts are error-prone. One wrong variable or missed edge case can leave accounts over-permissioned or deprovisioning incomplete.
  • Lack of Visibility
    Scripts don’t give you real-time insight into what’s happening. You won’t know what’s been enforced, what’s been skipped, or who made a change.
  • No Audit Trail
    Compliance depends on traceability. Scripts typically run without logging who ran them, when, or why, which won’t fly in an audit.
  • Hard to Maintain, Easy to Break
    As your environment changes, your scripts need constant updates. One patch or Microsoft update can break everything, and your team might not even notice until it’s too late.
  • No Policy Enforcement Logic
    Zero Trust requires policy-based controls, approvals, and delegation. Scripts don’t scale for RBAC, JIT access, or dynamic roles.
  • Zero Standardization
    Everyone writes scripts differently. That means no consistency, no governance, and a high risk of instability when staff leave.

Cayosoft enforces Zero Trust by design. From day one, you get built-in RBAC, approval workflows, scoped delegation, and dynamic group rules that ensure least-privilege access is always the default. No scripts. No gaps. Full visibility.

The right tool doesn’t just simplify onboarding and offboarding—it makes it automatic, secure, and bulletproof. Manual processes and disconnected systems slow down productivity, introduce security risks, and flood your help desk with access issues.

Cayosoft Administrator fixes all of that.

Here’s how:

  • HR-driven onboarding
    Automatically provisions users based on HRIS input—assigning licenses, groups, mailboxes, and access based on role or department. New hires hit the ground running—no tickets required.
  • Policy-based offboarding
    When a user leaves, Cayosoft instantly deprovisions their accounts across AD, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365. No delays. No leftover access. No compliance nightmares.
  • Zero scripts, zero guesswork
    Built-in automation replaces brittle PowerShell and manual checklists with clean, enforceable workflows.
  • Scoped delegation for help desk teams
    Safely assign onboarding/offboarding tasks without giving away the keys to your identity kingdom.
  • Audit trails and compliance built-in
    Every action is logged and reportable—perfect for SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, and internal audits.

Cayosoft automates onboarding based on HR triggers, assigns licenses and resources, and continuously enforces policies throughout the user’s tenure. When users leave, Cayosoft instantly revokes access across Active Directory (AD), Entra ID, and Microsoft 365, reducing risk without manual cleanup. One platform. Full lifecycle.

User access issues are one of the biggest drivers of help desk volume—and most of them are totally preventable.

They come from inconsistent provisioning, missed deprovisioning, license misassignments, and a lack of visibility across hybrid environments.

Cayosoft Administrator eliminates those weak spots.

Here’s how it helps shrink your ticket queue:

  • Automated, policy-driven provisioning
    Users are created with the right access, licenses, and group memberships from day one—so no more “I can’t access my email” tickets.
  • Instant offboarding = no lingering accounts
    Former employees lose access the moment they leave. No more access for ghost users or panicked IT cleanups.
  • Scoped delegation for first-level support
    Help desk staff can reset passwords or manage access without being domain admins. Less escalation. Faster response.
  • Built-in guardrails and enforcement
    Cayosoft ensures access stays aligned with roles, policies, and compliance requirements—without relying on scripts or approvals that fall through the cracks.
  • Clear audit trails = fewer finger-pointing sessions
    You’ll always know who changed what, when, and why.
