Cons
  • The browser plugin needs some work, or some research about what browser/OS restrictions may limit its functionality. Ours does not work at all even after contacting support so we do not use it
  • Toast/Windows notifications scheduled or deployed through admin center would be amazing. The ability to remind a user who has been disconnected for X hours would be a great feature

  • 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.

Return on Investment
  • Satisfied security requirements to maintain company contracts. Difficult to put a number down but the loss of a contract could imply the loss of a large sum
  • HIPAA Compliance, further contract maintenance

  • 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.
