We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and Ping Identity Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The security and compliance features are very helpful. The online information on the site is well documented."
"The most valuable feature is the single sign-on, which allows any application that is SAML or OAuth compatible to use Azure as an identity provider for seamless sign-in."
"This solution serves as the basis to understand the MS SSO and MFA capabilities."
"A use case that we did for an end user in a manufacturing organization: We used WVD with biometric authentication because 1,500 processes need to happen in a process. The user didn't want to use a login using their credentials. They wanted to use fingerprinting or tap their ID. That is where we integrated with the authentication. Now, they can process in a couple of hours, and they run those 1,500 processes every day. This changed their login process, which improved the manufacturing process. This helped a lot for their high deployment."
"It's very easy to run and it's part of their ecosystem and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon."
"Don't delay implementing this solution, it's the best thing you can do for your identity protection."
"Its ability to provide secure connections to people at all locations is the most valuable. It is mostly used by enterprises."
"It's very good at not disrupting the user experience."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."
"I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."
"Sometimes, the notifications and alerts are not delivered properly, and we end up missing them. Also, the overall graphical user interface needs to be improved."
"The thing that is a bit annoying is the inability to nest groups. Because we run an Azure hybrid model, we have nested groups on-premise which does not translate well. So, we have written some scripts to kind of work around that. This is a feature request that we have put in previously to be able to use a group that is nested in Active Directory on-premise and have it handled the same way in Azure."
"I think the documentation and configuration are both areas that need improvement."
"The permission management is a mess."
"It would be good to have more clarity around licensing."
"I rate Microsoft support five out of 10. It's just okay."
"The solution can improve the educational portion because it is an administration cost."
"There are issues using it with ADFS."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
