# Zoho Directory

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/427793/zoho-directory

> Zoho Directory (ZD) is a cloud-based workforce identity and access management (IAM) solution designed for organizations that need a secure, centralized way to manage employee identities, application access, devices, and network authentication. Whether you're replacing an on-premises directory or managing a growing hybrid workforce, ZD helps simplify identity management without adding complexity.

Ideal for small, midsize, and enterprise businesses, organizations of all sizes can easily migrate from legacy directory services, sync existing user accounts to the cloud, and connect employees to over 1,000 pre-integrated applications or custom-built business apps from within ZD.

Employees can securely access all their work applications with Single Sign-On (SSO) and IT administrators can extend this SSO convenience to managed Windows, macOS, and Linux devices through device authentication.

Using Cloud LDAP and Cloud RADIUS eliminate the need for on-premises server infrastructure set up and maintenance, and log in to legacy applications, Wi-Fi networks, VPNs, and other LDAP-based resources from the cloud.

Security is at the core of Zoho Directory. Administrators can enforce organization-wide or group-specific policies using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), conditional access based on location, device, IP address, or login time. 

With Audit logs, provide complete visibility into administrative actions, identify suspicious login activity through anomaly detection , and help organizations strengthen security and simplify compliance with standards such as HIPAA and SOC 2.

ZD is best suited for modern organizations managing hybrid or remote workforces, businesses replacing legacy directory or LDAP infrastructure, IT teams looking to centralize identity, device, and application management, and companies seeking enterprise-grade security without the overhead of maintaining on-premises identity services.

Customer Support: Zoho Directory offers 24\*5 customer support through email, phone, and a comprehensive online knowledge base. Customers also have access to product documentation, onboarding resources, and technical assistance to help with deployment and ongoing administration.
