Cons
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported.""Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""It requires some expertise to set up and manage.""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."

More PingFederate Cons →

"Enhancing the user interface and expanding their marketing efforts in regions like Nigeria and West Africa could be beneficial.""Perhaps parts of the the user interface should become more intuitive.""We found technical support was not very responsive to our requests for assistance.""We have encountered issue when trying to expand this particular solution for a large set of users across the country.""Our major problem is the authentication via Microsoft, via Microsoft cloud systems. This is our major aim, to be a valued product for the future. The biggest problem is to work against cheap cloud systems. Cloud identification is our main problem at this time.""We are not planning on using the solution in the future.""There is room for improvement in the RSA support."
