Simplifies the task of managing groups and is affordable and easy to implement

I'd like to see it be able to do more than just groups. I'd like it to be able to do some things with email distribution lists as well. It can do that, but there were a few things that were limiting. It was difficult to get it set up, particularly with Azure in the cloud. I'd like that to be a little bit smoother. I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools. We've got a ton of groups, and it does take quite a while to do nightly processing. This is something that definitely needs improvement.

Offers multi-factor authentication and application support side of PingFederate but application only supports specific protocols

A lot of teams work with technical support, but I work with it for user issues only. You might need support with things like application swaps, application names, and application URLs. I didn't know where to find those in Ping Identity, so I contacted technical support for those issues. The support team is very clever and active. They provide end-to-end support once an issue is created. I have worked with most of the support team. I also work with the support team because I work with the operations team. I provide 24/7 support to production and non-production environments. I coordinate with application and network teams to troubleshoot critical tickets and issues related to Ping Identity solutions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the overall features to be useful."

"Imanami GroupID's UI is good."

"For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system. Based on that job code, we use the query tool and say that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should. That runs every night, and the next day, everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."

"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."

"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."

"This is a user-friendly solution."

"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."

"I would recommend PingFederate as an IAM solution for its no-code environment, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, bidirectional services, and advanced features."

"We use the product to run different reports."

"It's pretty stable as a product."

Cons

"The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."

"I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools."

"The mobile application needs to be improved and there should be chatbox features to allow users to easily reach out for assistance."

"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."

"We had issues with the stability."

"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."

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

"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."

"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep."

"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."

"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"It is on a yearly basis, and it has the product license fee and the support for it. So, there is the licensing fee, and there is the annual maintenance that includes the support. I don't remember exactly, but we're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000 for it per year. We've got a pretty large implementation of it, and for the amount that we do, it is a pretty good deal. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."

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

"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 pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."

"The tool is quite affordable."
