Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution.""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.""We use the product to run different reports.""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.""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.""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."

"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.""I have found RSA Authentication Manager to be scalable.""The most valuable feature is the provision part. The mapping and the logging is also very good. In addition, the troubleshooting, from a console point of view, is easy for administration and on the provisioning and logging part.""It stands out as a comprehensive and adaptable solution that excels in both on-premises and cloud-based authentication, offers strong security with multi-layered authentication, and boasts a well-maintained product with reliable performance.""Easy setup, deployment, and integration in different infrastructures, including virtual ones.""The most valuable feature is the SecurID.""It is a good solution for token identification."

Cons
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration.""The product is not customizable.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""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.""I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."

More PingID Cons →

"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 found technical support was not very responsive to our requests for assistance.""There is room for improvement in the RSA support.""We are not planning on using the solution in the future.""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 have encountered issue when trying to expand this particular solution for a large set of users across the country."
