One Viewfinity customers expressed the value of our cloud-based solution, and the ability to manage admin rights for users who aren’t part of AD:

“Viewfinity’s Software as a Service model meant we didn’t have to procure servers or fit the project into any server implementation plan.  My team didn’t need to involve resources from the other IT departments in the project.  We looked at other privilege management vendors, but their solution integrated in a way that was too tied into Active Directory.  We liked Viewfinity because the desktop team didn’t have to launch a major project to tie into Active Directory and instead could push agent to a machine and could immediately begin to elevate privileges on the application level.” says Brian Grinstead, Support and Systems Management Coordinator for Indian Prairie School District.
