Offers robustness and ease of use
The product improves our organization's daily healthcare tasks since the use of the tool reduces a lot of support calls, and its users remember many passports that keep on changing. Writing down the passwords somewhere would compromise the security of the system. In our company, the product streamlines access to critical applications and makes it more secure. The management of the system becomes easy with the product. With the product, you can also decide on the strength of the policy you need for your environment. It also helps in the area of authentication credentials. With the product in place, users need to remember fewer passwords, which makes an organization's environment much more secure. The product has improved productivity in the sense that users are now able to manage the tool on their own without having to wait for IT support. IT teams also have to handle fewer support calls and can focus on more value addition in other areas. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it. I suggest that it is always better to use the product's SSO capabilities since it provides security. With SSO capabilities, if you can use multi-factor authentication, you can add a second layer of security to make your system safer and free from attacks. The product's integration capabilities with existing healthcare infrastructure are good. The secure access provided by the product has helped all the applications in our company where security is required. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Single sign-on has simplified access while adaptive authentication protects complex user journeys
Regarding areas for improvement in Ping Identity Platform, there is not much. In terms of licensing and implementation costs, it has premium pricing, and it has a very complex implementation. It provides greater feasibility, but it takes a very long time in terms of complete building. There is a very limited number of legacy support, which can pose potential difficulties in integrating with certain older or legacy systems. Additionally, issue troubleshooting can be difficult at times. Sometimes issues can be difficult to diagnose and require extensive technical expertise. There is also a very steep learning curve for administrative purposes and potential difficulties with offline authentication scenarios.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Security is the best feature of Microsoft Azure Sentinel. It has its own base security. Our customers like that the security is available in Azure."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and its robustness."
"The badge reader add-on that allows configuration where a doctor or nurse only has to enter the primary password once per shift is very helpful."
"If someone is looking for a solution that works both for on-prem or hybrid, I strongly recommend opting for the cloud."
"From a security perspective, I highly value the product's biometric authentication methods such as FIDO, FaceID, YubiKey, and the mobile app."
"PingID is very good, it's pretty stable as a product and we've never faced any issues, at least with the data applications integration, and the customers really like it."
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app."
"Ping Identity Platform can provide a solution for both workforce identity and access management and also for consumer identity and access management, which is CIAM."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The main reason why we use this product is to make sure that we can use our corporate account to log on to applications in the cloud, and from that perspective, it helps us in our account life-cycle management because if somebody is leaving the company, that account will be automatically deleted, which saves time."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"We had some feedback from customers who have said it was a confusing product."
"The shortcomings in the stability need improvement."
"We had some feedback from customers who have said it was a confusing product. The product is confusing to use for the end-user. For example, they do not know how to migrate the Azure Sentinel, but others have liked the product that has started working on it."
"There were error messages and application actions when the connection to the appliance was disrupted."
"Ping Identity Platform is expensive."
"The product's community has certain shortcomings that require improvement."
"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."
"The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT."
"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."
"I have contacted the technical support team at PingFederate. I would rate their help as two out of ten."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users need to pay either annually or on a multi-year basis towards the licensing costs of the product."
"PingID pricing is a ten out of ten because it's a little bit cheaper than other tools, such as Okta and ForgeRock, and supports multiple tools."
"The product is costly."
"PingID's pricing is pretty competitive."
"The platform's value justifies the pricing, especially considering its security features and scalability."
"Ping Identity Platform is not an expensive solution."
"Compared to some SaaS-based solutions, the platform is relatively cost-effective."
"The tool is quite affordable."
"Ping offers flexible pricing that's not standardized."
