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.
Chandan Tripathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for making logins more secure by using multifactor authentication but extremely expensive
There is room for improvement in a few areas. Firstly, it lacks support for OIDC and OS capabilities, making it less versatile for integrating various applications. Secondly, there are some limitations in the number of supported applications. Lastly, it doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"It's convenient for users to log in through Ping using the Kerberos adapter because it doesn't require them to authenticate again."
"It is a scalable solution."
"One of the most valuable feature is the ID soft token and hard token."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."
"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."
 

Cons

"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."
"PingAccess can only have one token provider, and you cannot enable two different token providers simultaneously."
"We had issues with the stability."
"In Ping Identity, we have had some issues. We've worked with logging and troubleshooting, including some firewall and security issues."
"Sometimes, there are issues with its stability."
"Sometimes, we encounter issues with other applications that are not compatible with RSA SecurID Access and require expert troubleshooting. At those times, we need additional support from an implementation perspective. This is an area where Oracle can improve as there is no substitute for reliable and efficient support."
"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."
"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."
"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is costly."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"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."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"I think the price of this solution is reasonable compared to YubiKey and Duo given that it offers the same similar features."
"RSA SecurID Access is expensive."
