We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication.""This is a user-friendly solution.""It's pretty stable as a product.""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.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Great product to manage the access control of users.""I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable.""Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features.""It is a scalable product.""We like the integration with other systems.""​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable.""The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product.""The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."

Cons
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""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.""We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""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.""PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature.""PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."

More Ping Identity Platform Cons →

"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers.""What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security.""The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved.""Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval.""There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience.""The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve.""There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read.""They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."
