Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This product helps keep us secure."
"Increased security around password management for teams and collaborative efforts with external vendors."
"The most valuable feature is the liberty of keeping encrypted passwords and elevated information in a sealed vault."
"Scalability is fine, no issues with that, especially now that they have added different user-level permissions. That has made it a lot easier to delegate out certain features to have other people do."
"One feature that is really important to us is the ability to create secure notes."
"The initial setup for this process is straightforward and extremely easy. It just works."
"Tech support has been good. We haven't needed it much, because it is not a complex application. There is not that much you have to do with it."
"Reduction in number of sensitive passwords stored insecurely on local systems."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"LastPass has a problem syncing the passwords to all of the users."
"It is not super feature laden. It does not stand out versus the competition."
"The management through the plugin is poor. It consumes tons of client resources especially as an administrator."
"I would like to be able to reduce the log out time of the session."
"Right now we have two products; there is the password manager and there is the authenticator app. Ideally, these should be fully integrated and support better handling of two-factor authentication or any other authenticator data."
"Our biggest issue over the years was around the stability of the LDAP sync to AD."
"The ability to set up an account expiration limit/date would be very useful."
"Its user interface should be better, and there should probably be more information about scalability."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"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."
