Intuitive with reCaptcha integration and helpful technical support
Frontegg's solution fits us very well, as it removes the extra work of developing, maintaining, storing, and securing all of the user-management platforms. It saves us a lot of time and money every single day. Frontegg allows our organization to focus on what matters - creating meaningful, innovative solutions for our customers without wasting time and energy on problems that were already solved by the industry many, many times before. Without Frontegg, our dev velocity would have been compromised greatly, since we would have to invest in a lot of resources to maintain a properly secured, granular, and flexible user-management framework.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has Audit Log and many cool features that if we were to develop them by ourselves, it would require a lot of research and development resources. Frontegg gives us everything we need to ensure that our customers have a safe and reliable authentication system in which they can also manage some of the features and roles by themself which gives them more control over their environment."
"We like the SSO, permissions and roles, multiple workspaces, and react login components."
"Every feature is multi-tenant by design, making different customer requests effortless to provide."
"The admin portal layer is super useful and saves valuable front-end development time."
"Their developers were always willing to meet even though we are in very different time zones."
"The MFA policy via Frontegg allows us to enable/disable/enforce the Multi-Factor Authentication policy of our users and to enhance security and adhere to modern standards."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
 

Cons

"It would be nice to have a backup export with all tenant/users so that in case of a mistake we can have the option to restore the users."
"The PHP SDK is limited. It's not a huge deal as we can just use their web API directly, but it is something to note if you're using PHP.‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎"
"We really like the ability to add the same user across tenants. From a UX perspective, the flow can be betterized."
"The web interface is missing a way to delete a workspace. I have accidentally created a workspace and was not able to delete it. It's a minor thing that should be supported."
"Frontegg is fairly stable, however, we are looking forward to some promised capabilities, such as more tightly integrated Feature Flag support."
"We're hoping to see more user management-related features, according to Frontegg's roadmap."
"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."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"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."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"They could enhance the product's device tracking for better zero-trust security would be beneficial. Currently, it tracks IPs well but lacks detailed device information, which is crucial from a security standpoint."
"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."
"One significant challenge was ensuring smooth user migration during system upgrades in Ping."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
