Ping Identity

What is Ping Identity?

Ping Identity is an enterprise identity platform with SSO, MFA, access management and strong customer identity (CIAM), suited to large, complex enterprises. It provides workforce identity, single sign on, multi factor and passwordless authentication, access security and orchestration, and robust customer identity (CIAM) for secure digital experiences at scale, via the PingOne cloud platform and flexible on premise and hybrid options, with a strong focus on large, demanding enterprises and complex identity requirements. Long a leader in enterprise and customer identity, Ping suits organisations with sophisticated workforce and customer identity needs. For large enterprise identity, Ping Identity is a leading choice.

Ping Identity's distinction is deep, flexible enterprise identity across workforce and customer, including complex and hybrid deployments. It handles sophisticated requirements, orchestration, standards, hybrid and on premise, and strong CIAM at scale, that large enterprises need, with flexibility beyond simpler cloud only tools. That enterprise depth, flexibility and strong CIAM set it apart.

Who Ping Identity is best for

Ping Identity is best for large, complex enterprises with sophisticated workforce and customer identity needs, including hybrid and on premise requirements and strong CIAM, that want a flexible, deep identity platform. It suits large enterprise identity. It is a weaker fit for SMBs wanting simple, affordable identity, where JumpCloud or OneLogin fit, Microsoft only shops preferring Entra ID, or those wanting the largest app network and simplest cloud SSO, where Okta fits.

Key features

The core strengths are workforce SSO, multi factor and passwordless authentication, access security and identity orchestration, and robust customer identity (CIAM) at scale, via the PingOne cloud and flexible on premise and hybrid deployment. Ping offers standards support, directories, and API security. Its enterprise depth, flexibility across deployment, and strong CIAM are its defining advantages.

Ping Identity pricing

Ping Identity's PingOne cloud services start around 3 US dollars per user a month for workforce SSO, with MFA and other capabilities priced separately and enterprise and CIAM deployments quoted, reflecting its enterprise flexibility. Pricing suits larger, complex deployments and is generally negotiated. Costs scale with users and capabilities. Confirm details via the Ping pricing page.

Integrations and ecosystem

Ping Identity integrates with many applications, directories, and systems via standards (SAML, OIDC, OAuth), with orchestration to build identity flows, and supports hybrid and on premise. Its broad standards based integrations and orchestration, which let enterprises connect and tailor complex identity across cloud and on premise, support its enterprise and CIAM strength.

Ping Identity and enterprise identity

Enterprise depth and flexibility, with strong CIAM, are the signature strength: Ping handles sophisticated workforce and customer identity, orchestration, hybrid and on premise, and large scale CIAM, that complex enterprises require, beyond simpler cloud only tools. For large enterprises with demanding identity needs, this is the main reason to choose Ping.

Ease of use and support

Ping Identity is well rated for enterprise capability, flexibility and CIAM, with good support, though its depth and flexibility suit larger organisations with identity expertise. Its G2 reviews praise enterprise identity, CIAM and flexibility, with complexity and being enterprise focused the main considerations for smaller teams.

Is Ping Identity worth it?

For large, complex enterprises with sophisticated workforce and customer identity needs, including hybrid, on premise and strong CIAM, Ping Identity is a capable, flexible choice. The main caution is complexity and an enterprise focus, so SMBs may prefer JumpCloud or OneLogin, Microsoft shops Entra ID, and those wanting the largest app network and simplest SSO Okta, but for large enterprise identity Ping is a leader.
