Independent Research Firm Cites Ease of Administration and Rapid Deployment as Key Factors for Leader Ranking

DENVER--()--Ping Identity®, The Identity Security Company™, has been named a leader in IDC’s, “IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Federated Identity Management and Single Sign-On Vendor Assessment” report. Ping Identity was among the highest positioned vendors in the federated identity management (FIM) single sign-on (SSO) market.

In the report, IDC evaluated 13 vendors in the worldwide identity and access management (IAM) market that have or are developing federated single sign-on (FSSO) solutions. The research firm identified vendors as leaders, major players, contenders and participants. Ping Identity PingFederate® and PingOne® offerings were evaluated and contributed to the company's position among the leaders.
