"The product's premium support services could be less expensive."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
