Pros
Pro When you remove a user, their keys are removed and sessions are KILLED
This is a pretty awesome feature. When you remove a user, not only are their keys removed, but any active sessions are terminated and home directory renamed to deleted:$username so that you can go check it out and get any work files left in it (or hacking evidence). Even better, if you later restore their access, their home directory automatically gets restored as well.

Userify

I enjoy using Userify because it's very fast and easy to use (once you get past the initial company creation and projects). The design seems to be very logical because all of your servers are grouped by function (for example, in your Storefront server group, you might have Wordpress/WooCommerce and Datab...

Userify is probably the best solution out there. It's the only thing that actually terminates user sessions when you remove the user. I can't find anything that does anything even close to the same.

This is an awesome solution for SSH keys for an entire team. It's not as flashy as some of the competition, but it works really really well and seems very secure, and the architecture and the on-disk agent is simple and bulletproof.

Pretty solid app design. It's not pretty but it just works once you figure it out.

Userify is fantastic in an operations environment on EC2. We deploy their agent (they call it the shim) in less than a second on our AWS instances and it just works, really well. Very solid. Huge fan of the architecture and stability. It's free up to 20 servers (24x7 over a month), but we blew through 20...

Userify isn't cheap once you get past the free tier (which is pretty generous -- 20 servers free!) but it's probably the best option out there.. definitely the fastest to get up and running with, and seems to be extremely focused on security. Also, I very much appreciate the grouping of servers, sin...
