UserLock vs. WSO2 Identity Platform

UserLock is well suited to easily managing MFA for users of various levels to improve security hardening in a granular manner. It's open ended implementation of the IIS module is good for web authentication of all sorts of sites. Reporting of user's access and notifying of multiple logons is great.

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

• 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.
