Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security vs. WSO2 Identity Server

Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security has been ideal for our organization (and would be for any I can think of) for securing user accounts through MFA and admin accounts through PIM. Its end-point management is also great for set-up and configuration as well as management of your devices. It also provides you with useful metrics and feedback on your devices.

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

• Simple pre-packed solution for many popular Microsoft products
• Advanced threat protection
• Simplified end user management with Intune

Incentivized

• It's open source so is highly configurable
• WSO2 provides their own paid support which is an essential add-on
• Implementation is straightforward and conforms to all major standards

• InTune deployment via Hybrid Azure AD. The instructions seem very simple but there are lots of little areas you can get tripped up and there is little logging to see where you've gone wrong.
• Advanced Threat Protection anti-impersonation. It is WAY too sensitive. Users emailing themselves from personal accounts get their mail sent to quarantine just because the name/label of the personal account matches their Office 365 mailbox name/label? HUH???
• Licensing. Typical of Microsoft, what you're actually getting and details of licensing are confusing.

• 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.

Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security is better than any of the products I have used that do similar things. There is a huge convenience to all the things Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security brings together in one place. Also, the speed and streamlining nature of Intune helps with the management and set up of devices.

It's Oracle. Highly expensive and limited options

• Increased productivity, including service requests for our customers
• Reduced operational costs, and threat/risk of cyber-attacks

• 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.
