Cons
"IBM Cloud Identity Service is going in the right direction with the product. They need to keep building out the integrations and having the library is very critical.""Everything can be more stable and secure. There could also be more account features. I would like to be able to do more things through it to manage users' accounts.""The initial setup is complex, it's not straightforward. It takes months because it's not straightforward."

More IBM Cloud Identity Service Cons →

"With the number of available integrations these days, it would be beneficial to have more ready-to-integrate technologies in other products as well.""Some things are not very intuitive.""Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities.""The solution is very complex, especially when there's an active directory of more than 1,000 users, which makes it hard to administrate. They need to improve the management of the administrative process.""The bulk email ID creation must be improved. I had to create 50 to 60 IDs manually because when I tried the bulk option, it didn't work. I still had to cross-verify because some fields were empty.""API integrations are not supported for all HR tools.""I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect.""The number of main controllers affects the database for creating the hardware specs."
