Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication.""PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies.""It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More PingFederate Pros →

"This is a user-friendly solution.""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.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""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 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.""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.""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."

Cons
"PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep.""Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported.""Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."

More PingFederate Cons →

"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""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.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""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."
