## About C2 Identity
C2 Identity is one of Synology’s all-new cloud-based directory service that administers your entire organization’s Windows and macOS workstations and provisions new devices from a centralized console. C2 Identity allows IT admins to accomplish a centralized account, IT resource, and device management from a directory server instead of storing and managing credentials and permissions on each device. Unlike other pure-cloud solutions, C2 Identity has integrated Synology’s existing competencies by introducing a hybrid cloud architecture where it works with on-premises LDAP-compatible services through a local Synology NAS or through a Docker container, enabling a fast and secure way to streamline all the user authentication processes.

**What do you like best about C2 Identity?**

We can easily manage users, groups and devices via this cloud based solution. It is seamless and user friendly, so users can manage their credentials in a self-service portal and request for SSO very frequently. Best part is it allows quick offline authentication via LDAP as it has low latency architecture, also no issues with integration also.

**What do you dislike about C2 Identity?**

Though we like this solution very much, but we feel that it has some scope for improvements like customer support has to be better and need better guidelines while implementing it in a hybrid environment.

**What problems is C2 Identity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are very happy with this product as it allows us to easily manage our infrasturcture with highest level of security.
