We use the following criteria to evaluate this product:
Cost considerations
The State of Maryland’s contract shows $698 k for just one year of BigID software, modules, and services to cover 5 PB and 500 data sources, indicating a high entry price. Separate charges apply for key functions like DSAR management, quoted at $35 k per year, and other modules are priced similarly. Because costs climb with each additional module and data connector, total spend often exceeds more bundled competitors and makes the value proposition uncertain.

Functionality
BigID automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data across on-prem, SaaS, and multi-cloud environments, giving broad coverage. BigID's suite includes cloud-aware DLP with real-time activity monitoring that spots unusual data movement and applies policy-based controls. Built-in encryption with managed key rotation and other key-lifecycle controls complete the feature set required for top-tier functionality

Compatibility
BigID offers built-in connectors for mainstream on-prem databases, AWS-Azure-GCP stores, and many SaaS apps, plus it can stream findings to Splunk and other SIEMs through syslog or API. The marketplace and developer kit simplify adding further sources, yet linking to some CASB platforms or niche systems may still need light custom scripting via its REST framework.

User experience
Gartner and G2 reviewers describe BigID’s dashboards as clear and navigation intuitive, allowing new analysts to learn the tool quickly. Step-by-step discovery and policy wizards guide setup, but several users mention UI latency that disrupts work rhythm. The combination places BigID’s user experience above average yet not at the very top tier.

Customer support
BigID offers 8 am-8 pm weekday support with a one-hour SLA for urgent issues and optional 24×7 coverage for critical cases. Customers get a self-service portal and a large online knowledge base that covers setup, troubleshooting, and release notes. The mix of quick human response and robust resources is stronger than many rivals, but true 24×7 help requires an upgraded plan.
