We performed a comparison between Microsoft Entra ID and PingID 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."I like Azure AD's conditional access policies. Microsoft Entra provides a single pane of glass for managing user access, improving the overall user experience."
"It's definitely both stable and scalable."
"The single sign-on of the solution is the most valuable aspect."
"What I like is that I can go anywhere, at any time, and to any client premise, and I can simply log in to the admin panel and can serve any of my clients."
"The benefits of using this solution were realized straightaway."
"This product is easy to use."
"It's a very scalable solution."
"Being able to easily authenticate yourself on the MSA app is valuable. It is easy to use. Rather than receiving a code in an SMS, you can just verify that it is you. You don't have to punch in any password or any six-digit code. That's the feature that I like the most."
"What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"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."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"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."
"Its price should be improved. It is very expensive for Turkish people."
"Technical support could be better."
"I would like to be able to authenticate Wi-Fi users using the Azure ID"
"The solution can improve the educational portion because it is an administration cost."
"The licensing cost is a bit prohibitive."
"The solution could be improved when it comes to monitoring and logging as these are the most critical areas in case something was to go wrong."
"Microsoft Authenticator is as easy as Google Authenticator, but it is not open to all types of applications. Google Authenticator is integrated with other third-party platforms and applications, whereas Microsoft Authenticator is not. It should have more integration with third-party platforms and applications."
"If Microsoft can give us a way to see where this product is running, from a backend perspective, then it would be great."
"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"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."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"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."
