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.

Good in terms of customization and security, offers flexible deployment, and easy to use
I like Transmit FlexID, which is more focused on user-based identity. Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless. Transmit provides security and addresses sensitive administrative work on both technical ends. Their authentication suite helps us secure our infrastructure. Overall, I'd rate Transmit highly in security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."

"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"I would recommend PingFederate as an IAM solution for its no-code environment, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, bidirectional services, and advanced features."
"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."

Cons

"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."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
More Ping Identity Platform cons
"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."

"The product is costly."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
