Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support has been great."
"Configuring the domain and setting it up in the Azure portal is just three clicks to be honest."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Entra ID is its security options, where we can provide highly effective security for user accounts during authentication."
"Installation is straightforward. It only took a couple of hours to set everything up."
"It's a very intuitive platform. It's easy to create groups and add people."
"I like that you can run it on-premises. I also like that I can use Azure at any time as the main one."
"It has made our work easier in that it’s simplified everything for us."
"Azure Active Directory provides access to resources in a very secure manner. We can detect which user is logging in to access resources on the cloud. It gives us a comprehensive audit trace in terms of from where a user signed in and whether a sign-in is a risky sign-in or a normal sign-in. So, there is a lot of security around the access to resources, which helps us in realizing that a particular sign-in is not a normal sign-in. If a sign-in is not normal, Azure Active Directory automatically blocks it for us and sends us an email, and unless we allow that user, he or she won't be able to log in. So, the User Identity Protection feature is the most liked feature for me in Azure Active Directory."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"The solution is highly stable and scalable"
"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."
"PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"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."
"Adding a new account can be tricky."
"The dashboard and interface could be better. It would be ideal if it was easier to use."
"The solution can improve the educational portion because it is an administration cost."
"Some systems do not integrate very well with Azure AD. We thought of going for Okta, but later on we were able to achieve it, but not the way we wanted. It was not as easy as we thought it would be. The integration was not very seamless."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The product needs to be more user-friendly."
"There are issues using it with ADFS."
"Tech support is inconsistent."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
