Pros
"Their split tunneling feature has been very valuable to our company since implementing the Perimeter 81 solution.""It keeps us all accountable and ensures secure internet connections while we all work remotely.""It connects quickly and stays connected. The user interface is pretty neat too. The app has in-house support with user guides that give you step-by-step walkthroughs on navigating the app. In addition, there is a live chat feature that offers prompt assistance on the go.""The feature that I have found to be most valuable is the reputation that the company has regarding privacy. Nowadays, this is critical, especially when you do all of your work online.""The setup is really easy...I rate the support team a ten out of ten.""Perimeter 81 provides a very secure and non-disruptive experience.""It is a scalable solution.""It has provided a seamless gateway to much-needed platforms."

"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's pretty stable as a product.""This is a user-friendly solution.""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""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.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""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."

Cons
"One of the more negative experiences using Perimeter 81 is the fact that I am logged off after a pre-determined amount of time which cuts off access to some of my company's resources.""What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit.""Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential.""The solution's speed of upload and download is an area where it lacks""Its initial setup process is complex for a hybrid environment.""Currently, I am not able to define a different country or location, which can result in negative experiences as the tool is being recognized by websites and this can make it difficult to access them or force me to disable the program temporarily.""There are a few areas where the solution could be improved. For instance, we sometimes encounter connectivity issues, which can be problematic. Recently, I experienced a connectivity issue while trying to move to Azure. Connectivity issues can be quite frustrating.""There is a very small amount of downtime."

More Perimeter 81 Cons →

"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""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.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
