Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is easy for beginners to learn and use."

More AWS IAM Identity Center Pros →

"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.""It's pretty stable as a product.""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.""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 most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."

Cons
"In the product, two groups cannot have the same name...In general, the tool does not allow for the duplication of names."

More AWS IAM Identity Center Cons →

"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""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'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 should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""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.""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."
