  • Each has a real cost: LogicManager the flat fee is quoted per organisation and not published, so the pricing model that makes LogicManager attractive still cannot be compared without a sales process.; Ping Identity workforce pricing carries a 5,000 user annual minimum, so an organisation with 800 staff pays for 5,000 and the effective per user cost is over six times the list rate.
  • They diverge on capability: LogicManager covers Risk taxonomy, Ping Identity covers Single sign-on.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

LogicManager

  • The flat fee is quoted per organisation and not published, so the pricing model that makes LogicManager attractive still cannot be compared without a sales process.
  • Configuration depth means the taxonomy has to be designed properly before rollout, and organisations that skip that step end up with a structure that cannot answer the linkage questions the tool exists to answer.
  • Reporting and dashboarding are functional rather than flexible, and teams wanting bespoke board reporting commonly export to Power BI, which reintroduces the manual step they were removing.
  • Quantitative risk modelling is limited compared with specialist tools, so organisations needing Monte Carlo style loss simulation will need something else alongside it.
  • The user interface is dated relative to newer compliance automation tools, and infrequent business users often need repeat training, which erodes the participation benefit that unlimited licensing is supposed to deliver.

Ping Identity

  • Workforce pricing carries a 5,000 user annual minimum, so an organisation with 800 staff pays for 5,000 and the effective per user cost is over six times the list rate.
  • Adaptive multi-factor authentication is in the Plus tier only, doubling the per user price for a capability many buyers assume is standard in a modern identity platform.
  • ForgeRock no longer exists as an independent product, so customers who chose it specifically to avoid Ping now face a roadmap set by the vendor they did not pick.
  • Thoma Bravo ownership across both merged companies means the commercial priority is margin, and buyers report firmer renewal negotiations than they saw before 2022.
  • The portfolio has overlapping components from three product lineages, so scoping a deployment requires vendor architects and the licensing conversation is more complicated than the price list implies.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

LogicManager: Is LogicManager really unlimited users?

Yes. It licences on a fixed annual fee covering the organisation rather than per seat, which is the main reason mid-market buyers pick it.

Ping Identity: Can I still buy ForgeRock?

Not as a separate product. Ping acquired ForgeRock in 2023 and the capabilities are sold within the Ping portfolio. Existing customers should ask about the specific migration path for their components.

LogicManager: What does it cost?

Not published. Mid-market ERM platforms of this class typically sit in the low tens of thousands of dollars a year, quoted by scope.

Ping Identity: What is the real minimum spend?

PingOne for Workforce Essential is 3 USD per user per month with a 5,000 user annual minimum, so roughly 180,000 USD a year before anything else.

LogicManager: Is it a compliance automation tool like Drata?

No. It is enterprise risk management with audit and vendor risk, not continuous control monitoring for SOC 2 evidence collection.

Ping Identity: Is MFA included?

Basic authentication policies are in Essential. Adaptive MFA and passwordless require the Plus tier at 6 USD per user per month.

LogicManager: How long does implementation take?

Weeks to a few months, far shorter than the enterprise GRC suites, provided the risk taxonomy is agreed up front.
