I just checked userify (haven't heard of it before), looks like a useful tool. What I found a bit odd is that pricing page is nowhere to be seen and it doesn't seem like userify is one of those enterprise 'request a demo' kind of services. It might be ok if I really really need it like right now but if I'm just 'oh looks cool, might be useful' and have no clue how expensive it might get (and not motivated enough to sign up and find it out then) then it's not great.

Not to speak for Userify, but assuming the prices are 'relatively similar' to other DevOps hosted service type tools, I'd be happy to pay. The ability to arrange user by projects, and then roles in projects has been awesome. You could have devs who have full access to development servers for project #1, limited access to staging, and no access to production, while having totally different levels of access on a different project, etc. You don't have to organize that way, but you basically get an org structure of a top level group that contains any number of child level groups (so, two levels of organization). The total number of options are limited, I would say Userify is focusing on doing their one thing (or few things) really well. Paired with Puppet scripts, AWS, Deploy Bot, and Laravel Forge, I'm able to deploy PHP, Java, Python, and Node.js apps to all kinds of funky server configs and access management is not even thought about any more. Just put the right keys in the provisioning scripts and the server gets the correct SSH user list and user keys. Also, being able to centrally revoke privileges is also very awesome as contractors come into and out of projects.
