Ping Identity .. New to the world of Ping Identity

Many of you might have not heard of Ping Identity as much as of any other IDM ( Identity and Access management) Products , but just came across it and would like to explore more on same and  thats where you started looking for a blog or post on same and you landed here :D .

If so , this blog is meant for you :D , welcome to my PING Blog .

I was also in same stage as you , but It was tough to find any blog on Ping Identity suite , the only available source of content was Ping's offical site .


There are good number of tools which offers Identity and Access management solutions and quite famous in the market like Oracle IDM , Sailpoint etc., but I have come across one of the tool which is very powerful and had implemented quite complex and large scale IDM solutions for the big leading companies and that is " PING Identity ".


Ping Identity is Identity and access management solution suite which comprises of the range of solutions and targeting at different areas .

The most good part of Ping Identity , it keeps Implementations approach or developement methodology " Simple and clear " unlike other complex tools like Oracle IDM ( though Oracle tool is my favourite too ) .


Ping Identity is more emphasises on Access management solutions covering the major access challenegs in " Cloud ", "Social Integration " , "Integration with Legacy system " ( yes this is tempting ) , API access managament  etc.,

Ping Identity provides few Out of box APIs and tool kits for Identity management  , but doesnot have any specific sub products dedicated with User Interface for same , though there are APIs on which a custom UI can be created .

Ping Identity offers the solution using the following sub products :

  1. Ping Access : acts like Authorization server
  2. Ping Federate : Authentication server for SAML Implementation
  3.  Ping One : Cloud based Identity and access management solution
  4.  Ping ID  : Social Identity integration
