"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.""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 provides ease of connecting all our devices.""This is a user-friendly solution.""The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""We use the product to run different reports.""It's pretty stable as a product.""It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."

Cons
"What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit.""Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity.""If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on.""In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality.""The platform still lacks relevant dashboards and the ability to customize them based on our needs.""I would suggest adding more networking and security features that allow more customization within their platform.""One of our challenges is ensuring the security of our cloud-based operations.""It would be nice to have a notification sound when Perimeter81 disconnects, as I sometimes don't notice when the icon shows that it's disconnected, and I end up wasting time waiting for my browser to load a page that shows an error, usually error 404."

More Perimeter 81 Cons →

"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 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.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""The product is not customizable."
