Is Your Directory Cloud-Ready? Protect Your SaaS & Your Enterprise with a Specific Directory Service & Bitium
How Ping Identity Works for Your Organization Identity is the heart of your internal network, and providing a centralized location for administration, security, and other core management functions across on-premise and cloud applications is the Holy Grail. Using your current identity management solution with Ping might work. Your IT staff is comfortable with it. It's paid for. Your users, groups and access controls are already managed there. This may be a powerful setup for managing on-prem access and user identities and with Ping Identity you can open and extend access beyond your corporate network. But isPing the most efficient and universal single sign-on solution for your needs?
The promise of Ping Identity is to allow a seamless integration across your local identity service to on-prem applications and to provide single sign-on (SSO) with apps that are hosted outside of your firewall (e.g., Software as a Service (SaaS) apps). For extending single sign-on to SAML-enabled apps, Ping can be a great utility. But anoverwhelming majority of apps do not offer the SAML APIs required for Ping integration. For example, Ping Single Sign-On cannot be used with: Atlassian On Demand, Quickbooks, HubSpot, Twitter, Basecamp, Constant Contact, Pivotal, Braintree, AdMob, Asana, Apple Development Center, Zenhours, Paypal, andhundreds more.
Additionally, business units and individual work groups are adopting their own SaaS apps, leaving swamped IT staffs to play catch-up to discover and integrate new services into their existing enterprise app landscape.
