Level 3 it security engineer at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Offers good support and multifactor authentication

I've been managing it in my company. I am more on the implementation side We implement the MFA feature, multifactor authentication and administrate the application. When it comes to authentication, the focus is always on security. That means using a separate device to verify the user logging in.…

The solution has some additional functionalities for managing PKI certificates compared to other products

We use Venafi for PKI certificates Venafi's overall installation could be made easier. You have to install the client, then go to the console and push the certificate. I have been using Venafi for three to four months. More than 10,000 users are using Venafi in our organization. Venafi was…

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 most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."

"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."

"It's pretty stable as a product."

"The solution is highly stable and scalable"

"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."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

"We use Venafi for PKI certificates."

"Automating anything, whether on-prem or cloud, is possible."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is their certificate discovery."

Cons

"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."

"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."

"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 initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."

"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."

"The product is not customizable."

"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."

"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

"Currently lacks the capability to automatically download certificates in JKS."

"Venafi's overall installation could be made easier."

"I would like to see included in the next release of Venafi integration with the cloud HSM's, Hardware Security Module. Additionally, I would say other cloud services, because it's not only cloud that's essential. If you have a customer that has a lot of their IT moved into cloud, integration with different cloud services is always an area to improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."

"The product is costly."

"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."

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

"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
