Offers single sign-on feature for business applications but needs to offer personalized insights

We use the product as a single sign-on for our business applications. Microsoft Entra Verified ID is our primary way of authenticating into ServiceNow apps. It helps us to stay connected in the company. I like the Microsoft Authenticator app since it comes with two-factor authentication. I…

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.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the Microsoft Authenticator app since it comes with two-factor authentication."

"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."

"It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

"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 find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."

"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."

"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."

"This is a user-friendly solution."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

Cons

"I must do two-factor authentication when I sign in from a different location. It creates friction. It's not personalized for the end user. I would like to see specific insights."

"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."

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

"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."

"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."

"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 management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."

"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."

"The product is not customizable."

Ping Identity

Overview

We believe the future of global identity will not be centralized in a single company or government, but rather a trust fabric of centralized and decentralized approaches. Open standards like those found in Entra Verified ID, will be required to ensure interoperability. We will leverage Microsoft’s existing penetration into F500 and governments to bootstrap and then extend from our 500M user footprint to 9B+. By leading the way, we can become the preferred provider that builds on Microsoft Entra ID's best-in-class security and compliance to now include best-in-class verifiability and privacy.

IDENTITY DEFINED SECURITY PLATFORM delivers a unified, standards-based platform that can be deployed as SaaS, software or both and can scale to handle millions of identities. From multi-factor authentication and single sign-on to access security, directory and data governance, our capabilities work together to give employees, partners and customers secure access to cloud, mobile and enterprise applications, securing and streamlined everything from sign-on to sign-off and everywhere in between.
