Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""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.""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 only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""It's pretty stable as a product."

Cons
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""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.""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.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."

More PingID Cons →

"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions.""The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android.""The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.""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.""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.""We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory.""The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago.""I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
