Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use the product to run different reports.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower.""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.""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.""It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."

"Scalable and stable.""We use this solution to log into virtual machines like VMware and VMware Horizon.""The most valuable feature of SafeNet Authentication Manager is authentication.""I like how the solution allows me to support different types of hardware tokens and integrate with OTP."

Cons
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved.""PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature.""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.""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.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

More PingID Cons →

"The stability could improve.""The solution should allow for support of multi-tenant architecture.""Lacks integration with other platforms.""The problem with SafeNet is that it's not integrated with Microsoft 365."
