We performed a comparison between Okta Workforce Identity and Ping Identity Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."
"The product’s most valuable feature is multifactor authentication."
"The initial setup of Okta Workforce Identity is straightforward. I was able to get an environment ready within half a day."
"The most valuable features depend on a customer's needs. Our customers generally find multi-factor authentication very useful."
"We find the solution to be reliable for our customers and it is nice that it is cloud-based and can be accessed from anywhere."
"We can automate the process of adding users to Okta if they are activated in Active Directory, or if they are added to the database of applications or Active Directory in the last couple of days."
"It's easy to use and straightforward."
"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."
"The guest user access could be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"This user integration with the Okta integration network could be simplified."
"The lifecycle management part can be improved. It should also have identity governance and the ability to choose a specific factor authentication at the application level. Its licensing and pricing can also be improved."
"Its pricing needs improvement."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"The product is not customizable."
"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."
"It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."
"PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer."
"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."

I used to use Okta in the past as a 2 step verification app and worked pretty well for more than 300 users. Nothing wrong with Okta. Easy to troubleshoot and easy to install. Also can be embeded into your profile company in case you need to have it installed it as a default solution.
I would recommend you use JumpCloud and they have 10 users free. So you can use it for trial level and then scale up. Its seamless, user-friendly, and simple.
