Listen to Our Customers
Our extensive Higher Ed and Research expertise leads to streamlined implementations and happy customers!
"Pomona College was seeking managed services to eliminate two on-prem services: Shibboleth and CAS. We heard about the Cirrus Identity Bridge and found it was the perfect solution to simplify our IAM environment and leverage Entra ID for SSO."
– Andrew Crawford, Director of Information Systems at Pomona College
"Cirrus has been a service provider to EDUCAUSE for over two years now helping us evolve to a more reliable and user-friendly SSO solution. We quickly integrated the Cirrus Identity SAML Bridge with Entra ID and are successfully using other Cirrus Identity products. The Cirrus team is highly responsive, assisting us with multiple SSO application integrations in a timely way. We are delighted with our partnership."
– Mairéad Martin, Former Vice President and CIO at EDUCAUSE
"The American University of Sharjah (AUS) was modernizing its IAM architecture to better leverage Entra ID for single sign-on. Moving to the Cirrus Identity SAML Bridge allowed us to simplify our environment and provide the multilateral federation required by InCommon. Cirrus is the place to go to fill the gaps in other identity products for higher education use cases!"
– Rabih Tayyem, Senior Systems Architect at the American University of Sharjah

Pricing Questions?
Cirrus Identity provides annual subscription and one-time implementation fee quotes developed for each specific use case. We know that one size does not fit all! We base pricing for the Bridge solution on the following:
- Customizable: After learning about your use case, Cirrus Identity tailors the products, add-ons and services that most benefit each specific implementation
- Fair: Cirrus Identity based pricing on the number of annual authentications to determine the usage tier (soft cap) - we know there are peaks and valleys in usage throughout the academic year, so we annualize authentications
- Flexible: Cirrus Identity solutions support small institutions and also those that have hundreds of integrated applications
