Helps users provide or revoke accesses whenever needed

I don't think there is any need for improvement in the product since everything has been created architecturally by AWS. AWS has given all the features in the tool. In the product, two groups cannot have the same name. There will be a conflict if the same name is provided to two groups in the tool. If you want to say something to another user, the tool fails to identify which group out of the two having the same name is involved in the activity. In general, the tool does not allow for the duplication of names. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product.

Offers good support and multifactor authentication

I've been managing it in my company. I am more on the implementation side We implement the MFA feature, multifactor authentication and administrate the application. When it comes to authentication, the focus is always on security. That means using a separate device to verify the user logging in.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The product is easy for beginners to learn and use."

"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."

"PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable."

"This is a user-friendly solution."

"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

"We use the product to run different reports."

"It's pretty stable as a product."

"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."

"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."

Cons

"In the product, two groups cannot have the same name...In general, the tool does not allow for the duplication of names."

"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."

"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."

"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."

"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."

"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap since it is available on the cloud."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."

"The product is costly."
