Cost Effective
Self-hosted CIPP is free apart from Azure costs, and the hosted plan is €99 per month.
Rapid Development
Frequent releases with features driven by community feedback.
Cons
Learning Curve
Requires understanding of Azure deployment and Microsoft Graph API concepts for optimal use
Self-Hosted Complexity
Self-hosting means deploying and updating Azure Functions and a Static Web App in your own subscription.
Microsoft Dependency
Microsoft 365 only; it does not manage Google Workspace, endpoints outside Intune or on-premises AD.
Documentation Scattered
While comprehensive, documentation is spread across multiple sources (website, GitHub, Discord)
Broad Permissions Required
CIPP needs wide GDAP and Graph permissions over every client tenant, so securing the CIPP instance and its admins is critical.
