What is Ping Identity?

Ping Identity is an enterprise-grade identity platform focused on large, regulated organizations. It supports workforce, customer, and non-human identities, with strong federation capabilities, hybrid/self-hosted deployment options, and FedRAMP-authorized offerings. After the Thoma Bravo acquisition and merger with ForgeRock, Ping's PingOne platform is one of the most comprehensive enterprise IAM suites available.

Best for: Large, regulated enterprises needing hybrid deployment and deep federation

Pros

  • Mature platform with deep federation capabilities
  • Flexible deployment options (cloud, self-hosted, hybrid)
  • FedRAMP High authorization for government use
  • Unified workforce and customer identity after ForgeRock merger

Things to check

  • Complex to configure and deploy
  • Pricing is enterprise-only (no published tiers)
  • Product lineup is confusing post-merger
  • Administrative UI is less polished than Okta's
