Despite Rodrigo Palacio giving the hosts an early lead, Marco Sau put the Sardinians in front with a brace and it took an own goal from Davide Astori for Inter to pull level.
Inter had several chances to score, notably through Diego Milito, in a lively second half. But the Argentine striker missed two clear chances from close range and was denied a third time by alert Cagliari 'keeper Michael Agazzi.
In the closing minutes Inter piled on the pressure and were unlucky not to be awarded a penalty when midfielder Walter Gargano was hauled down inside the box. Cagliari held on and in the end were worthy of a share of the points.
Stramaccioni was also red carded for protesting towards the end of the game, and club president Massimo Moratti hit out at what he said was another questionable refereeing decision.
"That's three games in a row we've suffered injustice and not got the result we deserved because of a refereeing decision," he told the media.
"I can't get over it. The penalty was as big as a house!"
Inter's first draw in 13 matches left them in second place on 28 points.
