Cons
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Entra ID Governance could be providing more granular control over security policies.""The platform's configuration process needs improvement.""The solution lacks the feature to work well with third-party applications."

More Microsoft Entra ID Governance Cons →

"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive.""It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net.""The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited.""The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings.""They should lower the price and technical support should be better.""The mover process for this solution could be improved.""SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper.""In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations."
