Featured Reviews

George Onalo - PeerSpot reviewer

Automating least-privilege audits has accelerated migrations but needs stronger Terraform and CI/CD support
The platform can be vastly improved by introducing native, 'Terraform-aware' guardrails. Currently, the platform's automated remediation mechanisms modify live policies directly in the AWS console, which immediately causes configuration drift inside our declarative Terraform state files. The next release should output recommended policy fixes directly as valid Terraform HCL code snippets or automated GitHub Pull Requests.Additionally, expanding its graph-based analysis to support multi-cloud identity tracking across Microsoft Azure (Entra ID) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) would provide true enterprise-wide utility. Lastly, incorporating smarter alert grouping for identical microservice container task roles would significantly reduce alert fatigue for lean DevOps teams.

Single sign-on has simplified access while adaptive authentication protects complex user journeys
Regarding areas for improvement in Ping Identity Platform, there is not much. In terms of licensing and implementation costs, it has premium pricing, and it has a very complex implementation. It provides greater feasibility, but it takes a very long time in terms of complete building. There is a very limited number of legacy support, which can pose potential difficulties in integrating with certain older or legacy systems. Additionally, issue troubleshooting can be difficult at times. Sometimes issues can be difficult to diagnose and require extensive technical expertise. There is also a very steep learning curve for administrative purposes and potential difficulties with offline authentication scenarios.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"IAM Health Cloud has positively impacted my organization by giving us all the required dashboards that we can manage everything from one place."
"By shrinking our IAM audit prep time by 40% and cutting post-migration security rework by up to 70%, the tool is effectively saving my organization 15 to 20 engineering hours per project."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Overall, I see PingFederate as a stable product and I do not see any bugs at the moment."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based capabilities for handling cloud applications and providing authentication and authorization through OIDC and SAML. It also supports integrations needed for both local and internal applications, including legacy applications requiring web server access."
"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."
 

Cons

"I choose an eight out of ten because I think this technology world is evolving very rapidly and AI is stepping into the technology."
"While IAM Health Cloud is an exceptional observability engine for AWS, its automated remediation can cause configuration drift if you manage your infrastructure strictly through Terraform."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"They should promote more buyer's authentification, like a fingerprint or face recognition, something that's more convenient."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"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."
"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."
"Ping Identity Platform is expensive."
"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."
