Cons

"There is room for improvement in stability and support."

"Lacks a simplified two-factor authentication process."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application. You should be able to relegate what group has a certain level of access and another group has a different level of access. Currently, everyone has the same access.

"I would start off with a VM including the base license and scale according to the number of users you need to authenticate."
"The pricing is fair."
"I would rate the pricing a four out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. It is not that costly. It is cheap, easy to manage, easy to install, and easy to configure."
