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.

Vinoth Raj Prabhakaran - PeerSpot reviewer
Beneficial data security, good support, and straightforward initial setup
The initial setup of Protegrity Data Security was straightforward. However, we had a few problems, it's not multi-tenanted. It does not have a hierarchy of roles and differential priorities. To have the initial sandbox version of Protegrity Data Security up and running, took approximately one week. However, it needed to be set up in a resilient way because if it fails, then it is going to be a challenge bringing back the lost information. We have to be particular in terms of architecting it correctly which is taking us a bit of time. We are anticipating anywhere between four to six weeks to be finished.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"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."
"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."
"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."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"Setting up the infrastructure with Ping Identity Platform is very easy compared to other IAM products."
"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."
More Ping Identity Platform pros
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"PingAccess can only have one token provider, and you cannot enable two different token providers simultaneously."
"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."
"The product is not customizable."
More Ping Identity Platform cons
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The product is costly."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The tool is quite affordable."
More Ping Identity Platform pricing and cost advice
