PingOne review
A standards-based workforce SSO platform with directory, MFA, provisioning, and orchestration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PingOne is a cloud identity and access management platform for workforce, customer, partner, and business-to-business use cases. Its workforce capabilities cover standards-based single sign-on, cloud directory and group management, multi-factor authentication, adaptive authentication policies, identity provisioning, no-code orchestration workflows, an employee application portal, and REST and SCIM APIs. It supports web, iOS, Android, and API access, making it suitable for organizations managing access across cloud applications and Microsoft environments.
According to the published workforce plans, Essential costs $3 per user per month with annual billing, while Plus costs $6 per user per month with annual billing. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. Pricing is based on an annual contract with a 5,000-user minimum for PingOne for Workforce. Customer and B2B packages have different pricing, so organizations should evaluate the relevant package rather than assuming the workforce rates apply to every use case.
PingOne fits teams that need SSO alongside directory management, lifecycle provisioning, adaptive access, and identity workflow automation. Its integration set includes Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP, SCIM, Workday, Google Workspace, Microsoft Azure, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Slack, and Zoom. Authentication options include FIDO2 and passkeys, authenticator apps with TOTP, SMS, voice, email, OATH tokens, the PingID mobile app, and YubiKey. Choose it when centralized workforce identity and orchestration matter; organizations seeking a smaller deployment or a different contract structure should compare alternatives.
