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."The solution has some great features, such as identity governance, and user self-service. The Outlook application is very good and is used by a lot of people even if they are using Google services."
"It has been stable, and we haven't had any issues since we started to use it."
"It helps with privacy control of identity data. It makes security very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the authentication platform."
"The features around permissions are excellent."
"Azure Active Directory has many automation capabilities, and you can apply policies on top. You can do a lot of things with these combinations and integrate other tools like PingFederate."
"We haven't had any problems with stability. Everything works fine."
"The most valuable features of Azure ID are the single sign-on and OpenID Connect authentication."
"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 solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"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."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"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."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"At the free or basic level of service, Azure should provide identity protection features including single sign-on and multifactor authentication."
"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."
"My understanding is, in the future, they will be able to bring everything into one single platform and they are not there yet."
"I think something that is key would be the group policies replication over the cloud, in order to prevent or to avoid relying on the on-premise Active Directory servers and to manage group policies."
"A couple of years ago, I experienced some difficulty in implementing the solutions, the services of Azure AD. In one instance, I was not able to configure Azure AD for a registration. This was two or three years ago. However, currently, the documentation is very clear and there are no loopholes or anything that could hinder even a simple IT administrator to implement these services."
"They should put the features of P1 and P2 into a single license."
"The workflow management for registering new applications and users could be improved."
"The visibility in the GUI is not good for management. There are a lot of improvements that could make it better. It should be more user-friendly overall. It is not user-friendly because everything keeps changing on the platform. I can understand it because I know the platform, am familiar with it, and use it every day. However, for a lot of clients, they don't use it every day or are not familiar with it, so it should be more user friendly."
"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."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved."
"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."
"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 product is not customizable."
