Google Cloud Identity centrally manages users and groups as an Identity as a Service solution. It can federate identities with services such as Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, and provides single sign-on to thousands of SaaS apps, including Salesforce, SAP SuccessFactors, and Google Workspace. MFA options include security keys, Google Prompt, authenticator codes, backup codes, SMS, voice calls, and passkeys. A unified console manages Android, iOS, and Windows devices, with options to enforce policies, wipe company data, deploy apps, and view reports. Automated provisioning can create, update, or delete user profiles in third-party cloud apps. Directory Sync extends Active Directory users to the cloud, while Secure LDAP supports traditional apps and infrastructure. The Free edition provides 50 user licenses by default, with additional free licenses available by request. Premium's annual fixed-term plan costs 6.00 USD per month; its flexible plan costs 7.20 USD per month. Premium includes automated provisioning and context-aware access. Premium lists 24x7 chat and email support and a 99.9% SLA; Free lists Google Cloud Communities support.
