    I don't have much exposure to the tool. I mean, I'm relatively new to using it as a platform, but I haven't really seen the benefit, especially with the actual renewal talks at the company. I'm not seeing what AWS native solutions are, how probability improves on that as opposed to just using AWS and just, I don't know. I'm not seeing the benefit, at least in my eyes.

    Really like [this] solution, it fits our requirements 100%. There are unlimited possibilities to extend the product, either by creating additional adapters or selectors. We really like the policy management level in PingFederate. It's extremely helpful when we can specify customer journey per many different requirements like user location, application type etc. As well, both StepUp and TopDown authentication flows were implemented [easily].

    Pros
    Apptio an IBM Company
    • We are able to integrate multiple sources of data to have a comprehensive view of our spend.
    • We are able to get more detailed insights via container dashboard for kubernetes spend
    • A unified platform to manage overall cloud spend along with related FinOps spend

    • Based on open standards, we can use as much or as little of the Ping suite as we like, depending on which other technologies we've already implemented.
    • Continuous innovation and product enhancements have ensured their products continue to meet our rapidly evolving needs.
    • Ping Identity has been an outstanding partner, starting with the RFP process and continuing to this day, years after the sale. They are focused on our success at every level of the company and are highly responsive to our needs, issues, and product suggestions.

    Cons
    Apptio an IBM Company
    • For me, it is a lot of anomaly detection and I think there's a lot of improvement that can be made to show anomalies that happen over time because if it's just day to day or week to week, you may not see the change. But if you see the trend over a period of time, show me something that has grown 40%, 50% over the past three months and maybe you can do those things and we just haven't figured them out yet. So we are very new to the product, but I think anomaly detection for me is one of the bigger things.

    • PingID has some limitations when used as the MFA for some LDAP implementations. You need to use it as a RADIUS password credential validator to solve for some of those limitations, which in turn causes challenges with our ephemeral cloud deployment model of PingFederate.
    • The basic logon services within PingFederate are adequate and well-documented, but simple features like disabling user input after entering credentials would help with some of the additional customization required to support real world failure modes.
    • PingCentral authorization models and configuration remain unpolished compared to other products, and now the features seem to be shifting toward onboarding PingAccess and PingDirectory over improving baseline administrative functionality/operations.

    Cloudability has been one solution for almost all of our FinOps needs. Except for Data transfer costs, we have covered all use cases and have made significant savings across our cloud infrastructure. Reporting has provided management a deeper analysis into their spending and helped them forecast their budgets for next year

    Usability
    Apptio an IBM Company
    I gave the IBM Cloudability a 7/10 because it is good, but it could improve in some places. It is easy to get data uploaded and ready to view, but it is only up to a certain point in time, and not live data. As for how it looks, the interface is good for viewing, however navigation could be a little better, maybe supported with a roadmap.

    Ping's solutions are a powerful tool, but with that comes the need for skills to operate them. It's not easy for inexperienced engineers to run. From the end-user perspective, it is fully customizable and can be as seamless as you need.

    While there have been few support cases where the experience was good. But in multiple support cases it's firstly delayed and even after weeks or months of time, team is not able to provide us with the RCA of the issue. All they are claiming is the issue is now fixed which I still see coming back after few days or weeks as we've never identified and addressed the root cause.

    Really good customer support, we always receive what we need. Sometimes instead of [a] solution (which have to be developed) we are receiving [a] work around, which is helping ad hoc. Then after time [needed for support to] develop fix we are receiving full fix or we [are] just waiting for new version of the product where our "bugs" are fixed.

    Training was adequate, but the real learning begins when you start using the product, like most things. All major functions were covered so as an entry point, was a good introduction to the product. The training pace was good as well, the areas were covered in decent depth, without being too much of an information overload.

    PingOne from Ping Identity is the clear winner here. I can say this because the cost of their service is very worth it, and their service offers more than their competitors. In addition to that, this software is still improving daily, which only means that there is still more to come, and their Developers are giving their fair share of service to keep their software the best.

    • The TCO for our deployment of Ping will be over a million dollars/year less to operate compared to the systems it replaces.
    • Moving the organization to federated protocols allows greater flexibility in our cloud migration strategy and zero trust designs.
    • Operating with federated protocols internally facilitates M&A and divestiture activities.
