It's a very scalable tool because it allows those working on it to work with clusters, especially if we discuss PingFederate's horizontal scalability. One can use any number of nodes needed, but usually, two or three nodes are enough during the production phase. For how the solution has been set up and programmed, I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten. Owing to an NDA that my company has signed, I can't disclose the exact number of my company's customers who use the solution, but I can say that many use the solution, and it goes more than 50 in number.

PingFederate is very flexible. We can do many customizations, and it also provides an SDK to tailor it to our specific requirements. There are also numerous plugins available. I've worked with tools like ForgeRock and Okta, but I find PingFederate to be the most customizable. It provides basic SSO functionality, but we can easily extend it. For instance, if a client requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) beyond username and password, such as OTPs or knowledge-based answers, we can integrate those. Ultimately, we tailor the solution based on client needs. In fact, I've also worked in presales, demonstrating the capabilities of PingFederate through POCs (Proof of Concepts).

Room for Improvement

"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"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."
