PingFederate vs. Zscaler Private Access

PingFederate is an enterprise federation server that enables secure user authentication and single sign-on (SSO) across various applications and services. It acts as a centralized authentication authority, facilitating seamless access for customers, employees, and partners without the need for multiple sign-ons or passwords. By supporting a wide range of identity protocols, PingFederate ensures interoperability and enhances both security and user experience.

Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) is a cloud-based zero trust solution that securely connects users to private applications hosted in public clouds, data centers, or on-premises environments without relying on traditional VPNs or exposing them to the internet. Built on the principles of zero trust, ZPA ensures that users are authenticated and authorized before granting access, providing application-specific access rather than exposing the network.
