Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm an SEO manager. I would give Ping ID a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Prior to using Ping ID, we used Microsoft's proprietary authenticator. And that was very good. We had a lot of issues with mobile authentication, however. The reason we chose to go with Ping ID was because of its reputation in the industry. And also because of its extensive mobile apps to facilitate the authentication process. Getting started with Ping ID was fairly straightforward, fairly easy. It did take a little configuration because of our setup with our servers. However, once we're up and running, it was pretty seamless. For any organization thinking about getting Ping ID, I'd recommend that they look at alternatives such as Microsoft's own authenticator and identify what's important to their organization and whether Ping ID would be an asset within their organization. The Microsoft authenticator is a great tool, but there are some areas where it falls short.
