Why Cayosoft?

Because Microsoft Platform Complexity Demands It.

Cayosoft is the only hybrid AD solution that lets organizations securely manage, continuously monitor for threats and changes, and instantly recover their entire Microsoft environment. All from a single console.
Cayosoft® — Manage, Monitor, Recover

Solving For Why

Microsoft platform experts founded Cayosoft with a simple mission: to build hybrid Active Directory security, efficiency, and governance managed through a single pane of glass. They did.
And they built more than a solution—they built a partnership customers can trust today and for the future. That trust shows in 99% customer retention and 100% satisfaction.
Cayosoft is built for the moment.

Why does IT want it?

Because every part of IT gets what it needs,

  • Administrators escape the grind of hybrid provisioning with rules, roles, and automation.
  • Architects gain Zero Trust enforcement, real-time threat detection, change monitoring, and instant rollback.
  • Help desk teams delegate safely without risk.
  • Infrastructure leaders ensure reliable business continuity with patented instant forest recovery.
  • Compliance officers automate audit readiness.
  • CISOs get proven resilience and continuous security at the identity layer—because if that fails, the enterprise fails.

Why does modern architecture matter?

Old architecture is fine when you’re visiting Stonehenge. For managing hybrid AD? Legacy tools only handle Active Directory, which is insufficient for current business demands. Cayosoft is built on modern architecture, designed for hybrid identity environments.

That means one console to see and control seamlessly across Active Directory, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Teams, Exchange, and Intune.

Here’s Why It Works So Well

Cayosoft Administrator is built for secure, efficient, and compliant management of hybrid Microsoft environments. With identity lifecycle automation and built-in Zero Trust policies, and audit-ready reporting, Cayosoft helps IT teams save time, reduce risk, and stay continuously compliant.

Unify administration across AD, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, Intune, Exchange, and Teams—replacing legacy tools and brittle scripts with one secure console. With automation across the entire identity lifecycle, built-in Zero Trust policies, and audit-ready reporting, Cayosoft helps IT teams save time, reduce risk, and stay continuously compliant.

“We switched from Quest to Cayosoft, which eliminated 
90% of our hybrid 
administrative burden.”

— Senior Analyst, Global IT Services, Merck
