We performed a comparison between PingID and VMware Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"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."
"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"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."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"The solution is stable."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"The product is not customizable."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"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 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."
"The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
"vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding. Since the integration has been at top-level OGs, you were not able to then do rebranding if you were required to use specific user groups to highlight specific applications. At the time, I was personally opening feature requests for these things. I haven't worked with the latest release, so I don't know if these features were already deployed or not."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
