Offers multi-factor authentication and application support side of PingFederate but application only supports specific protocols

A lot of teams work with technical support, but I work with it for user issues only. You might need support with things like application swaps, application names, and application URLs. I didn't know where to find those in Ping Identity, so I contacted technical support for those issues. The support team is very clever and active. They provide end-to-end support once an issue is created. I have worked with most of the support team. I also work with the support team because I work with the operations team. I provide 24/7 support to production and non-production environments. I coordinate with application and network teams to troubleshoot critical tickets and issues related to Ping Identity solutions.

Works

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

"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."

"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."

"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."

"The product's most valuable features include its cloud-based capabilities for handling cloud applications and providing authentication and authorization through OIDC and SAML. It also supports integrations needed for both local and internal applications, including legacy applications requiring web server access."

"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."

"I would recommend PingFederate as an IAM solution for its no-code environment, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, bidirectional services, and advanced features."

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

"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."

More Ping Identity Platform pros

"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."

"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."

"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."

Cons

"Some colleagues have mentioned API connectivity, data security, and privacy issues."

"We can choose a drop-down to search for which certificate we have to create, which is difficult."

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

"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."

"Ping Identity Platform must improve its UI since its management console is complicated."

"In Ping Identity, we have had some issues. We've worked with logging and troubleshooting, including some firewall and security issues."

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

More Ping Identity Platform cons

"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."

"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."

"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."

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

"The tool is quite affordable."

"The product is costly."

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

"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 Identity Platform is not very expensive."

"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."

More Ping Identity Platform pricing and cost advice

"Since HelloID is very reasonably priced, the return-on-investment is fast."

"In terms of costs and pricing, this solution is worth every penny."
