All the features align perfectly with the CISA zero-trust framework
I am impressed with Entrust because they are one of the most advanced identity access management companies. Their portfolio of products is well aligned with the CISA zero trust framework. If you compare the features of Entrust products with the CISA pillars of zero trust, you'll see that they're perfectly matched with CISA requirements. Entrust offers advanced frictionless multifactor authentication with a very sophisticated risk engine. The risk engine is a critical component of user authentication because risk scanning has multiple variables, including geolocation. When you're receiving attacks from an internet-facing side of the equation, the risk is greater for login attempts that originate outside of your home country. For example, the risk engine detects that a person is trying to authenticate with these credentials, but he's not in Puerto Rico. He's in Russia. You immediately deny access. Employees can do multifactor authentication with face ID or a push notification on their phone. They only need to put their faces up to the phone and press "yes" to be securely identified. It's a highly secure, frictionless form of authentication.

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.…

Pros

"Entrust is an enterprise account, and they have a support system. Their training is also top-notch, and they are willing to share their knowledge with their partners."
"I am impressed with Entrust because they are one of the most advanced identity access management companies. Their portfolio of products is well aligned with the CISA zero trust framework. If you compare the features of Entrust products with the CISA pillars of zero trust, you'll see that they're perfectly matched with CISA requirements."
"It is a scalable solution. You can add users and credentials without problems."
"This solution is flexible and easy to use for our clients. We use it with different kinds of applications and integrate it with different processes."
"The integration matrix of the solution is huge compared to others."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is highly stable and scalable"
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"I would like to improve the tool's implementation and pricing."
"The product is very costly compared to other alternative solutions."
"We are introducing new processes and are migrating to a new version. Once we explore new functionalities, we'll be able to assess what could be improved."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"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."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
