Dilip Reddy - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use but requires improvements in the area of stability
In my company, we have worked on authorization, and I know that there are different types of grants. We have worked on the authorization code, client credentials, and ROPC grant. There are two types of tokens, like the JWT token and internally managed reference tokens. JWT tokens are useful for finding information related to the claim requests. Internally managed reference tokens are useful for dealing with visual data and information. For the clients to fit the user information, they need to do additional work to fit all the user info into the site, which is to define and validate the token issue and provide the request for VPNs. I worked on the key differences between the authorization code and implicit grant. In the authorization code type, you will have the authorization code issued initially to the client, and the client has to exchange it with the authorization server, like using a DAC channel to get the access token. In implicit grants, tokens are issued right away if the application is a single-page application. We can either use the authorization code or an implicit grant.
A flexible solution for application management, and facilitated centralization of our IAM
We use HelloID for ourselves and clients, so we need to manage a lot of client environments at once. Functionality to manage this situation is not yet available. When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"Setting up the infrastructure with Ping Identity Platform is very easy compared to other IAM products."
"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."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"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."
"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."
"You don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
"The product is not customizable."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"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."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"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."
"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is quite affordable."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"The product is costly."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"Since HelloID is very reasonably priced, the return-on-investment is fast."
"In terms of costs and pricing, this solution is worth every penny."
