We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and Ping Identity Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Privilege identity management is the most valuable feature."
"Entra ID can be deployed using a hybrid model for organizations with a significant on-premises presence, or in a fully cloud-based setup for those that do not."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of scalability."
"Its ability to provide secure connections to people at all locations is the most valuable. It is mostly used by enterprises."
"It enhances security, especially for unregistered devices. It 1000% has security features that help to improve our security posture. It could be irritating at times, but improving the security posture is exactly what the Authenticator app does."
"The most valuable features of this solution are definitely the authorization and authentication, and the rule-based user validation."
"I like that you can run it on-premises. I also like that I can use Azure at any time as the main one."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its authentication security. That is Azure Active Directory's purpose - making cloud services' security and integration easier."
"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."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"The solution is highly stable and scalable"
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"When we add some user groups, at times they will not be properly configured. Also, sometimes Azure AD is not aware of the group policy, like the control, device functions, and settings, in detail. For example, you cannot configure these settings through mobile devices. It doesn't provide the flexibility to do that. The other challenge is that a third-party application may provide access without authorization."
"The solution can improve the educational portion because it is an administration cost."
"A couple of years ago, I experienced some difficulty in implementing the solutions, the services of Azure AD. In one instance, I was not able to configure Azure AD for a registration. This was two or three years ago. However, currently, the documentation is very clear and there are no loopholes or anything that could hinder even a simple IT administrator to implement these services."
"The security policy of Azure Active Directory should be based on a matrix so that we can easily visualize which users have access to what."
"There is no great solution in the cloud for Conditional Access authentication and RADIUS-type authentication."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"They should put the features of P1 and P2 into a single license."
"I would like to see improvements made when it comes to viewing audit logs, sign-in logs, and resource tags."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"The product is not customizable."
"The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
