We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and PingID based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Being able to use Azure AD means that you can use some of the Azure AD security features like Advanced Password Protection. As well as querying your normal password requirements like lengths and complexity, Azure AD has a feature in which you can put specific words. It can be words to do with your company, words to do with your company location, or words that a lot of your employees would otherwise use. You can disallow them. It's very good at making more obvious passwords, ones they're not allowed to use anymore. That's a good feature."
"The scalability capabilities are quite high."
"It has things like conditional access. For example, if someone is accessing sensitive information, then we could force them to do multi-factor authentication. Therefore, we can stop access if it is coming from a location that we did not expect."
"It is pretty good in terms of stability."
"The performance is good."
"Conditional Access is a helpful feature because it allows us to provide better security for our users."
"The self-password reset if it's enabled and configured properly, really helps a company be able to reset rather than getting IT involved."
"The solution adds an extra layer of security."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The role-based access control can be improved. Normally, the role-based access control has different privileges. Each role, such as administrator or user, has different privileges, and the setup rules for them should be defined automatically rather than doing it manually."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The product takes at least ten minutes to activate privilege identity management roles."
"Something that can be improved is their user interface"
"They can combine conditional access for user actions and application filtering. Currently, they are separated, and we cannot mix the two. I do not know how it would be possible, but it would be interesting."
"The solution has certain limitations. For example, it has very little governance functionality."
"Microsoft's technical support has shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Microsoft Authenticator is as easy as Google Authenticator, but it is not open to all types of applications. Google Authenticator is integrated with other third-party platforms and applications, whereas Microsoft Authenticator is not. It should have more integration with third-party platforms and applications."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"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."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"The product is not customizable."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
