We performed a comparison between PingID and VMware Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."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 provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"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."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"The solution was easy to deploy."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"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."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"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."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
"vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding. Since the integration has been at top-level OGs, you were not able to then do rebranding if you were required to use specific user groups to highlight specific applications. At the time, I was personally opening feature requests for these things. I haven't worked with the latest release, so I don't know if these features were already deployed or not."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
