We performed a comparison between One Identity Active Roles and PingID based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two User Provisioning Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With the use of the sync service we were able to import information from multiple external systems and populate them within our space and leverage them for downstream systems."
"Active Roles improved the management of users, groups, and AD objects in the organization."
"Another good feature is the change history. It's centralized in a single place and allows us to manage people's Active Directory domains from a central location. We can also drill down into individual objects in a troubleshooting or even an auditing situation. We can show evidence to auditors by drilling down into the individual history. It gives you all the history of what happened around an individual object. That is something that would be almost impossible to do in Active Directory, or extremely complicated."
"The biggest thing for us is Active Roles saves a lot of man-hours in keeping groups up-to-date manually or trying to write some sort of script that you have to run, so we don't have to reinvent the wheel. Instead of when every time somebody joins a department, then somebody has to remember to put in a request to add "meet user Joe" to this group, the solution does it automatically for us. Therefore, it saves our business and IT staff time because they do not have to process requests since Active Role can do it for them."
"Secure access is the most valuable feature."
"The provisioning and deprovisioning saves a lot of time and skips a lot of errors."
"It's valuable to us in that it resembles the native tools that most people have grown accustomed to... Active Roles resembles traditional tools, such as from Microsoft. That is really good because it eases the way people interact with the tool."
"In comparison to native Active Directory tools, using Active Roles for delegation is so much better. It uses an access template and that makes it easy to see who can access what. In fact, you can do that for many objects as well."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"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 solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"In terms of improvement, it could be made even more user-friendly for administrators when they need to create new workflows and rule sets."
"For ActiveRoles, it would be good if the product supports multi-scripting language. You can use only VBScript."
"The ability to send logs to a SIEM would be very beneficial."
"Another issue we have with the product is that we run a lot of custom tasks. You have to program them to run on one particular host and there's no automatic failover to a second host. If that host is down when a task is supposed to run, it has to wait until the next time it runs when that host is up."
"The user and group management in Azure AD could be better. Our focus these days is dynamic sharing with several on-prem Microsoft applications like SharePoint."
"For the AAD management feature, it needs to improve the objects that we can manage and the security."
"The initial setup was quite easy, but it was time-consuming. It took about three months."
"The way you can search groups could be better."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"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 product is not customizable."
"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."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
