Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution.""The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in.""This is a user-friendly solution.""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 gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

"It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time.""What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly.""The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information.""Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication.""The setup process is straightforward.""The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning.""What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration.""What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing."

Cons
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""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 product is not customizable.""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.""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.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."

More PingID Cons →

"Research and marketing need to be improved.""One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends.""What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution.""It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing.""The pricing could be better.""SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks.""I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex.""A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."
