Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"SAML 2.0.""The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy.""The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for.""Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites.""OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."

"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""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 only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""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."

Cons
"The self-service portal needs improvement.""An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help.""The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available.""Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve.""Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."

"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.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""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.""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."
