Upendar G - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficiently manage applications with secure single sign-on and streamlined operations
Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access. Its ability to consolidate applications on a single interface streamlines operations significantly. The product is highly secure and reliable, especially in managing user access across various platforms. Multi-factor authentication enhances security by requiring additional verification steps.
MAHESHKUMAR7 - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The solution is able to save time and resources for my clients."
"Once it is set up, it is easy to use and it integrates with most of the products on the market."
"The scalability of the solution is good. We haven't felt we've been restricted from expanding as necessary and we haven't heard of any issues from our clients."
"The product was built to be scalable."
"Access Manager allows us to efficiently manage a broad spectrum of applications while ensuring secure, single-page application access."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product supports customization."
"The product allows customization via custom code."
"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based capabilities for handling cloud applications and providing authentication and authorization through OIDC and SAML. It also supports integrations needed for both local and internal applications, including legacy applications requiring web server access."
"It is a scalable solution."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"I like PingFederate."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
 

Cons

"Although Oracle Access Manager is generally stable, we experienced issues with multi-domain configurations and web agent settings."
"The solution's lifecycle management is troublesome. Also, another area of issue in the solution is the part involving documentation of certain features."
"The user interface is a bit complicated and could be made more lightweight. Simplifying the installation process, perhaps through a VDAR-based installation, would also be beneficial."
"I suggest Oracle make the integration process for non-Oracle applications as straightforward and easy as it is for Oracle applications."
"Sometimes if a session takes too long, you have to log in again."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements made to the interface."
"May not integrate easily with non-Oracle products."
"The initial implementation can definitely be improved because you have to work on several components to configure it correctly."
"They could enhance the product's device tracking for better zero-trust security would be beneficial. Currently, it tracks IPs well but lacks detailed device information, which is crucial from a security standpoint."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"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."
"We had issues with the stability."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I cannot comment on the exact pricing because Oracle has different licensing models for other clients, making it flexible."
"The price is really good and it is flexible because they have CPU licenses. The license is a one-time-only purchase."
"Can be expensive as a solution."
"The product is a little expensive."
"The tool is affordable."
"On a scale where one is a high price, and ten is a low price, I rate the solution a one. Purchasing a license for the solution is very expensive now."
"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 tool is quite affordable."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The product is costly."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
