We performed a comparison between Ping Identity Platform and Symantec Siteminder based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution."
"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 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 solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches."
"It's pretty stable as a product."
"It provides ease of connecting all our devices."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is reliable."
"It provides the breadth and the width to provide solutions for the different kinds of technologies which we have."
"Right now, federation that comes out-of-the-box with single sign-on is the most valuable feature that we have, and also scalability."
"It is very scalable. We have a very large customer base: 75 million customers."
"Ease of use is very good, for administrating it. It's very well known."
"The solution is easy to use for our managers."
"Authentication & Authorization are important because all the sites need authentication for security purposes. That has been handled pretty well all these years with SSO."
"SAML is the best thing we're using right now because there is no need for creating an external account."
"If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base."
"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."
"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 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."
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration."
"The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning."
"I'd like to see a rework of the user directory configuration."
"We are finding some compatibility issues. We're still working with CA on them."
"I think they need to integrate some of the newer types of authentication into the product. I'm not seeing the innovation when it comes to biometrics in the product."
"As we are moving in to the mobility space, this is where we really see SiteMinder and their other product really come together to provide a solution base to a different area where the IoT is coming, the different business communications are happening. All of those things require authentication and we really want to see this product grow into that role."
"To add more value to this solution it needs to be more user-friendly."
"The Federation part of CA Single Sign On, it's a bit complex to implement because it involves the SSL certificates, exchange of certificates, and lot of technical details. The documentation misses some important parts of this, so that's the reason it took some time for us to go live."
"I would prefer to see their SAML integration be a more streamlined and easier interface."
"We would like to the OAuth be more stable, more issues being fixed rather than not."
