Single sign-on has simplified access while adaptive authentication protects complex user journeys
Regarding areas for improvement in Ping Identity Platform, there is not much. In terms of licensing and implementation costs, it has premium pricing, and it has a very complex implementation. It provides greater feasibility, but it takes a very long time in terms of complete building. There is a very limited number of legacy support, which can pose potential difficulties in integrating with certain older or legacy systems. Additionally, issue troubleshooting can be difficult at times. Sometimes issues can be difficult to diagnose and require extensive technical expertise. There is also a very steep learning curve for administrative purposes and potential difficulties with offline authentication scenarios.
Chandan Tripathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Identity and Access Management Principal at Mobily
Useful for making logins more secure by using multifactor authentication but extremely expensive
There is room for improvement in a few areas. Firstly, it lacks support for OIDC and OS capabilities, making it less versatile for integrating various applications. Secondly, there are some limitations in the number of supported applications. Lastly, it doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility.

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."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"Personally, I appreciate Identity Orchestration the most about Ping Identity Platform, as with a simple drag-and-drop interface and the correct options we can build a complex and personalized process very efficiently and effectively for registration, login, and profile management."
"The main reason why we use this product is to make sure that we can use our corporate account to log on to applications in the cloud, and from that perspective, it helps us in our account life-cycle management because if somebody is leaving the company, that account will be automatically deleted, which saves time."
"People use the solution to secure their applications and authenticate particular processes."
"I work on the application onboarding process because we have multiple customers and get data from different sources."
"Overall, I see PingFederate as a stable product and I do not see any bugs at the moment."
"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 think it is really good when it comes to the hard token side of things."
"It is easy to set up and reliable."
"All of its features work well with the cloud authentication manager and the tokens — the authentication manager is good."
"Encryption random key generation and making it available for the user on the fly without any knowledge of the user regarding the keys."
"I would say that the two-factor authentication and the ease of installation and configuration are the most valuable features of this solution."
"With the SSO RSA technology, we simplify the login and authorization process for dozens of web sites with high load traffic."
"It is a scalable solution."
"In house applications access via weblink can be locked down to specific groups or criteria."
 

Cons

"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."
"From the improvement perspective, they could bring IGA capability, which right now they only have in their SaaS offering."
"Ping Identity Platform is expensive."
"In terms of licensing and implementation costs, it has premium pricing, and it has a very complex implementation."
"There is room for improvement in the solution, particularly in security."
"For external customers, they do have challenges, although there are solutions for that available, as well."
"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."
"They should promote more buyer's authentification, like a fingerprint or face recognition, something that's more convenient."
"I would really rate the technical support as 4 (in a scale of 1-10). My interaction with the technical support was never good."
"Sometimes, we encounter issues with other applications that are not compatible with RSA SecurID Access and require expert troubleshooting. At those times, we need additional support from an implementation perspective. This is an area where Oracle can improve as there is no substitute for reliable and efficient support."
"It doesn't offer an agent-based or reverse-proxy-based approach to integration, which could enhance its flexibility."
"We are currently migrating to CA Site Minder due to RSA not having a viable SSO solution at this time."
"There are different compliances across the globe; RSA SecurID Access could be more complaint-based."
"The interface needs to improve a lot. It should be easier to manage and navigate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"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 offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"Ping Identity Platform is not very expensive."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"RSA SecurID Access is expensive."
"I think the price of this solution is reasonable compared to YubiKey and Duo given that it offers the same similar features."
