Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution.""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.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""We use the product to run different reports.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."

"The most valuable features are the pipeline management, being able to track the pipeline anytime, and the ability to get in touch with our high management team or board members.""The single sign-on feature of Salesforce Identity enhances our organization's security posture overall.""The user experience was great because it had all the features that the client needed. It was fully customized for the client, and it was very simple. It was the best solution at that time.""Salesforce Identity is a very user-friendly solution."

Cons
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""It requires some expertise to set up and manage.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved.""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."

"The interface should be simplified and the dashboard has a lot of options but could be improved.""The most wanted feature on such platforms nowadays is artificial intelligence, especially for marketing activities. This is also my area of expertise, so it would be very interesting to see AI in these platforms.""Salesforce could make it more user-friendly and easier to implement. Currently, there's a lot of coding and technical work required. I would appreciate a more plug-and-play approach where you could set it up without needing a dedicated technical person.""Salesforce Identity needs more expertise in the application."
