The costs are unclear but it's an estimated €150,000 to €300,000 for the implementation. We save about half that amount on 14 implementations of other third party software (EduConnector and UMRA's Tools4Ever and ForeFront Identity Manager). License fees amount to about €10,000.- a year for 120,000 identities and about 40 to 50 connected systems.

Micro Focus is flexible when it comes to price. The cost varies from customer to customer. There are no additional costs, though. Everything is included.

Identity Manager is more cost-effective for my company. It's a better option compared to more popular products that might require expensive upgrades.

I would rate the pricing a two out of ten, with one being low price and ten being high price. It is significantly more cost-effective than the major players in the market.

The solution is quite affordable. It is reasonably priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten. There are additional charges for customization.

It would easily help them in getting more market and more customers if more consultants knew about their software. If they could keep it free for schools for teaching purposes, it would be good. I had to pay myself to get it and use it for training. Their competitors are giving it for free. I had to pay for it myself. They are losing market to their competitors.

Very expensive licensing. Definitely review support and licensing contracts with an attorney to get language less ambiguous and redline accordingly.

I'm not sure of specific pricing, but I know they have different licensing, depending on your organization. Governments, for example, have special pricing. Education would have different pricing because it's more like a sector.

There might be additional costs too, and it depends on which system you are integrating. So let's say user x needs one AD account or an Oracle or SQL. You would have the base license plus per connector. You just need to be aware that the more systems you connect, the more license fees you have to pay.

The price of the solution is a bit high and could be reduced.

IDM licensing has accessible values even for installations of thousands of users. Once the input values were not so cheap, but the annual maintenance is very accessible. The ROI is seen in the hours saved in provisioning.

• Four hours for installation
• Development hours vary
• Two hours weekly maintenance and check-ups
