Broadcom
If an organization is looking for a good comprehensive identity management/governance suite that is easy to implement, CA identity manager may be a good/robust product. It is best to understand specific use case for your organization and try out the product before a final purchase decision as is the case with all sw products.

WSO2
If your systems are using standard authentication models then it is well suited. OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0 etc are all supported.

Cons
Broadcom
  • Bringing on new users and removing existing user when new employee/contractors join or leave an organization can be improved by linking directly to HR module.
  • The slightly complicated GUI makes drill down difficult for a new user.

  • Overall, the product works well but does take time and effort to implement in highly complex environments. However, I do not believe this is unique to WS02.

Alternatives Considered
Broadcom
The final contenders were CA and Oracle - Oracle was tedious to implement and maintain while on the other hand CA was easy to implement and maintain and came at a much lower price.

It's Oracle. Highly expensive and limited options

WSO2
  • WSO2 works well when you need specific user sign-up information and allows you to then tailor the access, for example, to the job role or area of discipline. We use this to tailor the learning offered to a user upon initial login.
