Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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's pretty stable as a product.""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.""This is a user-friendly solution.""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""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 solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."

"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube.""The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle.""This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance.""The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications.""User provisioning and the role management features are good.""This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access.""SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others.""Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."

Cons
"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.""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.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""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.""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 would benefit from a better user interface for integration.""The product is not customizable."

More PingID Cons →

"They should lower the price and technical support should be better.""Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time.""The mover process for this solution could be improved.""It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works.""The user interface is not very user-friendly.""Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval.""The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit.""The interface should be simple and easier to use."
