Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""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.""It's pretty stable as a product.""We use the product to run different reports.""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."

"Comprehensive ecosystem.""The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features.""It's very easy to implement everything.""The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components.""I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten.""The keystore feature has been most valuable for us.""Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."

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.""PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""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.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it."

More PingID Cons →

"The high availability architecture has to be improved.""Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code.""There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation.""I found the initial setup to be very complex.""The solution could improve its development from a user perspective.""This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly.""This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."
