Determine what type of solution you are building. Filter the products and services by the type of audience you serve with your identity and access management solution. For example, if you select Customer solution, you will see products and services relevant to serving your clients and consumers, and if you select Build your own solution, you will see all available products and services.
  • Customer solutions: Help you create sign-on experiences for your clients and consumers.
  • Workforce solutions: Help you create sign-on experiences for your organization's employees.

When you select a solution, you might also want to consider how you want that solution to be deployed. PingOne for Enterprise and PingOne are multi-tenant cloud solutions that do not require additional setup or deployment after the environment in which they reside is created. The Customer360 and Workforce360 solutions incorporate cloud services and software products, which can also be deployed to the cloud. These solutions require additional setup, but can accommodate a wide range of complex security requirements.
