We use WSO2 IDM to support access and authentication to all our online cloud services. We have 30k plus users who authenticate via the service to access various systems such as a clinical trial management services and learning management system.

It is mainly in use on Amazon Web Services.
  • 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
  • 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.
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.
It's Oracle. Highly expensive and limited options.
