Ping Identity Named Market Leader in Latest KuppingerCole Customer Identity and Access Management Report

Company Recognized as a Leader in the Areas of Security,
Functionality, Integration and Interoperability

DENVER & LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ping
Identity, the leader in Identity Defined Security, today announced
it has been named an overall leader in the latest “KuppingerCole
Leadership Compass for CIAM Platforms” report.

According to the research, customer identity and access management
(CIAM) “has emerged in the last few years to meet evolving business
requirements. Many businesses and public sector organizations are
finding that they must provide better digital experiences for and gather
more information about the consumers who are using their services.”

Effective CIAM may go beyond traditional IAM in providing solutions to
capture consent to comply with privacy regulations, manage customer
identities at massive scale, enable customer-friendly multi-factor
authentication (MFA), and other capabilities that aren’t present in
traditional employee IAM solutions.

The criteria evaluated in the Leadership Compass report reflects the
varieties of use cases, experiences, business rules, and technical
capabilities required by KuppingerCole clients today, and what they
anticipate clients will need in the future.

The following highlights Ping Identity’s profile and leadership rankings:

• Product Leader. The research reinforces that Ping Identity’s
  CIAM solution suite is available for either on-premises or cloud
  deployment and offers customers excellent standards-based support to
  achieve their objectives.
• Innovation Leader. The report notes that companies positioned
  as innovation leaders take a customer-oriented upgrade approach,
  delivering customer-requested cutting-edge features, while maintaining
  compatibility with previous versions.
• Market Leader. This category is an amalgamation of the number
  of customers, number of managed identities, ratio between customers
  and managed identities, the geographic distribution of customers, the
  size of deployments and services, the size and geographic distribution
  of the partner ecosystem, as well as financial health of the
  participating companies.

Ping Identity is awarded either “Strong Positive” or “Positive”
ratings across the areas of security, functionality, integration and
interoperability.

“Ping Identity was one of the first vendors to really recognize and
understand the need for specific consumer-facing IAM solutions for
enterprises,” said Brian Bell, CMO, Ping Identity. “We’re delighted
KuppingerCole acknowledges our leadership position in the CIAM market,
and it will continue to be a priority for us going forward.”

With the Ping Intelligent Identity Platform, enterprises can benefit
from a full-service CIAM solution which offers flexible deployment
models with services available for both on-premises and cloud. The
solution features secure single sign-on, a high-performance directory to
manage structured and unstructured data, data governance, multi-factor
authentication and intelligent API security, all through one seamless,
integrated platform. With the recent launch of PingOne for Customers, a
self-service IDaaS solution, developers can rapidly and securely embed
customer IAM capabilities like authentication, registration, profile
management, MFA, and more into their applications. PingOne for Customers
is built on a tenant-in-tenant architecture with native support for
hybrid IT and identity standards.

The report describes Ping Identity as a “pioneer in identity federation
and access management since its inception” and recognizes that Ping “was
among the first of the enterprise IAM vendors to adapt to
consumer-facing requirements.”
