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.

Enhanced security, reliable, helpful technical support, and easy to install

RSA SecurID Access is a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability of RSA SecurID Access a nine out of ten. Initially, our organization had around 250 users for whom we were aware of the usage of the solution. However, there were certain users for whom we were not notified due to the nature of their job, and hence we were not aware of their usage. Eventually, we decided to scale the solution for all our 4,000 users. Currently, we are using it for 250 users only. There is a high likelihood that we will expand our usage in the future.

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."

"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."

"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."

"This is a user-friendly solution."

"We use the product to run different reports."

"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."

"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."

"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."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

"I think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."

"The most valuable features of RSA SecurID Access are push notifications, multifactor authentication, and ease of integration and deployment."

"One of the most valuable feature is the ID soft token and hard token."

"It is a scalable solution."

"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."

Cons

"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."

"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."

"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."

"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."

"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."

"The product is not customizable."

"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."

"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."

"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."

"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."

"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."

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."

"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."

"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."

"The tool is quite affordable."

"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."

More Ping Identity Platform pricing and cost advice

"RSA SecurID Access is expensive."

"I think the price of this solution is reasonable compared to YubiKey and Duo given that it offers the same similar features."

Overview

IDENTITY DEFINED SECURITY PLATFORM delivers a unified, standards-based platform that can be deployed as SaaS, software or both and can scale to handle millions of identities. From multi-factor authentication and single sign-on to access security, directory and data governance, our capabilities work together to give employees, partners and customers secure access to cloud, mobile and enterprise applications, securing and streamlined everything from sign-on to sign-off and everywhere in between.

Ping Identity

The RSA SecurID Suite combines the separate disciplines of access management and authentication with identity governance and user lifecycle management into one comprehensive suite. It goes way beyond the capabilities of traditional identity and access management systems by using risk analytics to provide identity and access assurance. This helps organizations solve two fundamental challenges:

Verifying that their users are who they say they are.
Providing their users with the right level of access.
