    SAP
    SAP Identity Management manages organization identities centrally with a great amount of flexibility and efficiency. Compared to the conventional SAP solution of central user administration (CUA), SAP IDM (version 7.2/8.0) delivers a great number of benefits like: 1. Availability of connectors for non-SAP application identity management,
    2. Modular/granular access management in the form of context-based business role definition.
    3. It can be integrated with the SAP HR system for making entire user identity management automatic.

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

    Pros
    SAP
    • In my previous organization, to achieve the granularity of access based on organization restrictions, we implemented enabler role-based security roles. Provisioning the enabler roles through the SAP GRC was a great challenge (realistically improbable). Here came the SAP IDM to our rescue. It has a peculiar feature of context-based business role provisioning feature.
    • Customized context & its association with security roles & user HR attributes, give us unique ability to achieve granularity of access provisioning.
    • SAP IDM integrates with the SAP HR system and identity management becomes automatic.

    Cons
    SAP
    • SAP Identity management should come up with connectors for almost all not SAP applications, which will enable the use of SAP IDM as a one-stop solution for organizations' identity management.

    • 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.

    Overall it's a easy to use tool. But lacks proper debuging capabilities when errors occur.

    Return on Investment
    SAP
    • SAP IDM has the huge potential to minimize risks arising out of disorganized identity management within an organization. As all identities are managed centrally, there is very little room for manipulation of an identity.
    • As this solution has the ability to integrate with SAP GRC, risk analysis becomes mandatory before any access provisioning takes place.
    • As the solution is automatic, hiring to employee exits is managed with a minimal margin of error.

    • 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.
