Cons
"Salesforce Identity needs more expertise in the application.""The interface should be simplified and the dashboard has a lot of options but could be improved.""The most wanted feature on such platforms nowadays is artificial intelligence, especially for marketing activities. This is also my area of expertise, so it would be very interesting to see AI in these platforms.""Salesforce could make it more user-friendly and easier to implement. Currently, there's a lot of coding and technical work required. I would appreciate a more plug-and-play approach where you could set it up without needing a dedicated technical person."

More Salesforce Identity Cons →

"The high availability architecture has to be improved.""This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly.""Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code.""I found the initial setup to be very complex.""This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box.""The solution seems to be pretty outdated.""The solution could improve its development from a user perspective.""There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
