According to Forrester, Ping Identity is one of three vendors that "showed consistency with leading IAM suites that encompass identity provisioning, attestation, web SSO, and federation. They offer easy-to-use interfaces, a differentiated vision and thought leadership for IAM, and strong execution." Ping Identity's PingFederate®, ADConnect, and PingOneofferings were evaluated.
