forgerock Identity Management Solution Vs WSO2 Identity Server

Question

I'm trying to choose one of forgerock identity management solution (openAM, openIDM) and wso2 identity server for implementing Identity and Access Management solution.

I'm interested in using following features:

• Single Sign-On (SSO)
• Policy based access control
• Managing user identities
• Connecting to central repository like Active Directory, OpenLdap, Oracle Internet Directory etc.
• Etc..

Both open source products looks viable. I'm interested in having all of the above features along with good API to implement these features, along with active community support.

Which one would be the best amongst two ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I'm a product manager at ForgeRock, but not for the products you're mentioning (OpenAM, OpenIDM).

ForgeRock Open Identity Stack has complete support for all your requirements, based on existing standards such as the ones mentioned by Prabath. It presents a single, common REST API to interact across the platform. It's easy to deploy, modular, lightweight and yet highly extensible. But in my opinion the key point is that it's a proven solution, deployed by hundreds of organizations, with built-in internet scale. The solution has been chosen by telecom service providers, medium and large enterprises for internal or customer facing services.

And I agree with Prabath, now that you've got answers from ForgeRock and WSO2, best would be to evaluate and make your own decision.
