I definitely recommend PingFederate. If not the on-premises version, the cloud version is also a good option. We can determine the best approach based on your specific requirements. PingFederate is a great tool with a lot of customization options. It even offers agent-based integrations for older legacy applications that don't support modern protocols like SAML or OAuth. We just need to install JAVA agent on the application server, and there it will take the request and take it forward to the PingFederate. Based on ease of use and everything, I'll rate it a nine out of ten. I've used Okta, and that's a bit more complex in comparison. It requires some expertise to set up and manage. Also, having dedicated support is helpful. It's not something anyone can just set up and run without assistance – ideally, a team using PingFederate should have at least one or two people with in-depth knowledge of the product.
PingFederate allows us to untie our hands within our work environment, which involves many scenarios in terms of customization. I would ask those planning to use the solution for the first time to research their infrastructure to utilize the other services in PingFederate. If they use the services of some other vendor, like Azure AD or other solutions, then it would be easier to use PingFederate since it may be less pricey. I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

PingFederate is a good product but there are limitations. It is a good solution especially if it's an internal IP usage customer. For external customers, they do have challenges, although there are solutions for that available, as well. Overall, it is a good product with some integration limitations. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
