User Testimonials
IBM VerifyPingOne from Ping Identity
Likelihood to Recommend
It is brilliant for use as an identity and access management tool and ensures the safeguarding of our systems and upholds data integrity as a consequence. It was very easy to set up and apart from a straightforward installation, we have found customisation and configuration easy. It was easy to deploy in the cloud after using it previously on premises.

The products we're using work well and are reliable. We've had very few outages, and when we have, their support team has been highly responsive and addressed the issues quickly. They are very customer focused and have been great partners throughout the relationship. I'm looking to adopt more of their technologies over the coming year.

Pros
  • MFA authentication - you can verify the users using the mobile app.
  • Password repository - We don't have to remember passwords for each app; we only need one for IBM security, which then authenticates us and lets us access the app.
  • Sharing access to new users, we just create a new user in IBM and it authenticates and takes care of the user.

  • PingFederate is feature-rich, and quickly updated with the latest standards and profiles. This gives us more tools to apply identity standards to modern business challenges.
  • PingFederate and PingCentral were also easy to deploy within docker containers and weave into an infra-as-code deployment, keeping operational overhead low.
  • PingID has an array of supported authenticators for nearly every use case, and early FIDO2 support has us looking into moving to passwordless much more quickly than I had anticipated.

Cons
  • It was a bit overwhelming to implement and was neither obvious nor user-friendly.
  • While the product is quite powerful, the documentation left something to be desired if one wants to fully appreciate its capabilities.
  • The cost was almost prohibitive, but it was the only product we could find that addressed all the needs of our organization in one place.

  • I believe it is very secure & not sure if it needs any improvement as such
  • Only suggestion would be it should not ask users to re-confirm if the session is still active

Usability
While setup and implementation takes work and time, the flexibility and possibilities make up for that in the long run. This is not a product you can just install and run, but if you design and implement your ruleset well, it will save you a lot of work afterwards. Just make sure that the systems you want to use it for have an existing and proven connector.

Easy to use; all UI's are user friendly and easy to learn.[The] possibility to use API is [a] big value as well. We really like integration with CyberArk; with it we can manage privileged accounts according to company standards without breaking any rules, and we can be 100% sure that only approved persons will have administrative access.

Reliability and Availability
Throughout the system testing we conducted, we never encountered an issue that wasn't easily solvable. We did find some of the documentation confusing at times, but we overcame this quickly with some speedy support assistance. Implementation into production was a lot smoother following the testing we conducted.

For our enterprise, they've assigned a customer success manager to ensure our needs are being addressed, and that person is top notch in knowing our priorities, enhancement requests, and open cases. Every time we've needed to engage support for a problem or a how-to question, they've been highly responsive and followed up with us to ensure the case was completely resolved. Their support personnel are highly skilled and trained. This is a very customer-centric company.

Alternatives Considered
We conducted a comparison study between IBM Verify and Okta as well as Duo Security before making our selection. IBM Verify emerged as the perfect fit because its superior capability to integrate with our current system environment surpassed competitor security solutions. IBM Verify demonstrated superior reliability through its enterprise-class scalability and fully transparent auditing mechanisms.

We tested PingOne but our security team was not happy with it (because of cloud exposure). We tested PingId as well but our security team was not happy with it (because of cloud exposure). We [spent] some time on PingDataGovernance but so far we don't have any use case for this product. We started exploration for PingDataSync (to synchronize two different LDAP directories), [and] so far it looks promising.
