Find out in this report how the two Authentication Systems solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"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."
"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."
"We use the product to run different reports."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"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."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"It requires some expertise to set up and manage."
"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."
"Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"The product is not customizable."
