Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported.""Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""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."

More PingFederate Cons →

"Red Hat SSO's architecture could be updated.""They could provide more checks and balances to find out if there have been any security lapses, e.g., if somebody is trying to break into the system. Some other products have these detection mechanisms in case someone is trying to hack into the system or find out a user's passwords.""The product’s technical support services could be better.""Security could be improved."
