About Ping Identity
Ping Identity sells identity and access management to large organisations, especially banks, healthcare and government. The PingOne cloud platform covers single sign-on, adaptive MFA, directory, identity verification, fraud detection and authorization for both employees and customers, and its DaVinci orchestration engine lets teams build identity journeys with a no-code, drag-and-drop editor. Ping is also known for software that runs on-premises or in private clouds, such as PingFederate and PingAccess, which matters for hybrid environments and strict regulators. It merged with ForgeRock in 2023, adding that company's identity products to the portfolio. Workforce plans are priced per user per month, while customer identity plans start at annual commitments in the tens of thousands of dollars, so it is aimed squarely at enterprises. Smaller companies will find it heavy, and most deployments involve partners or Ping's professional services.
Best for: Large regulated enterprises needing hybrid workforce and customer identity.
