Recover Unwanted Changes Immediately
Maintain a continuous back-up of your hybrid environment to quickly identify the extent of an unwanted change and reverse it.

Go beyond the limitations of native tools and traditional backups and deploy immediate recovery to anywhere in your on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environment from a single interface.
Minimize Lockouts and Downtime
View AD changes at a glance to quickly understand and remedy lockouts and downtime. Filter changes and save common queries for quick access to helpful insights. Instantly roll back issues with a single button and receive critical alerts of vital changes to prevent downtime altogether.
Streamline Security Audits
IT audits require pulling information from multiple sources that are not easily understandable at a glance. Effortlessly maintain security compliance with Cayosoft Guardian, which unifies changes across AD domains, Azure AD tenants, or hybrid environments for easy access. Permissions, identities, and events are organized and filtered for ease of access. Queries can also be saved to quickly pull frequently requested reports.

How Cayosoft Compares
Monitor
Active Directory for Suspect Changes
MANUAL PROCESS
Time-consuming and tedious sifting through native logs that often come with glaring blind spots
Common Result: Costly security breaches, compliance failures, and service outages
COMPETITORS
Legacy on-premises AD management tools designed decades ago
Common Result: Incomplete visibility can result in missed threats or the inability to perform a complete recovery
CAYOSOFT
Purpose-built to secure and protect identities across on-premises Active Directory, Azure AD and hybrid environments. Real-time alerts make it easy to spot changes and thwart attacks before they impact users.
Recover
Deleted Items
MANUAL PROCESS
Native recycle bins offer one-time undelete but do not recover changes to properties or metadata associated with an object
Common Result: Costly outages and downtime before all associated data can be fully restored
COMPETITORS
Legacy AD recovery tools designed decades ago. Often requires fumbling with backups and good only for on-prem AD
Common Result: Misses anything related to Azure AD or Microsoft 365 or requires additional purchases
CAYOSOFT
Instantly restore group settings and memberships, object attribute data, Office 365 license settings, conditional access policies, hard-deleted objects, and more.
Recover multiple changes at once to immediately reverse even far-reaching damage across Active Directory everywhere.
