Hi Francisco,
Hi Bruno,
Thanks a lot for you reply. I read the nlight ressources on the
subject a couple of months ago when I thought OpenIDM will still be
OpenSource in right terms.
Anyway, I seems there is another OpenSource project called MidPoint by
Evolveum.
I don't have any information about the stability of those business
model : will they still be OpenSource ? etc...
Eh eh eh, that's one of the reasons why Syncope is a project at The
Apache Software Foundation...
But the support of this product must be expensive.
Anyway, What surprising me, is the fact that there is no
implementation on common business process proposed in Syncope. Maybe
I'm wrong ?
What if you propose some kind of business patterns as the Third party
Applications ?
Could you please indicate some samples?
The provisioning system is something very technical. But each IAM
solutions is shy to propose high level scenarios with delegated
administrations or dynamic role base management.
Isn't there a lack on this point ?
What is your vision about that ?
I am not sure we are talking of something that you can decently
generalize: in my experience, even though some reference patterns are
available, implementing a IAM solution is often more a tailor attach on
customer's infrastructure than a general, repeatable and fully
standardized process.
Actually, this fact underlies most of the architectural choices in
Syncope, which is extensible and fully customizable by default.

Hi,
Do you have any resources/numerics about the integration of
Syncope for clients ?
I'm also interested in load test results or even benchmarks.
What about the position of Syncope regarding others IAM
solutions ?
OpenIDM, OIM (Oracle), SailPoint etc...
Is there somewhere a document that presents feature and
technical gaps between those different solutions ?
I'm trying to find arguments to focus on pros of Apache Syncope ?
Hi Bruno,
AFAIK the only reference for organizations that are using Apache
Syncope in their environments is
http://syncope.tirasa.net/success-stories.html
e.g. a page on my company's support site for Apache Syncope.
I know that some of such deployments are running with ~1 million
users, but I don't have any more insight.
Some Apache Syncope key features are reported in
http://syncope.apache.org/features.html
but I agree it is very little detail in there.
About comparison with other Open Source IAM solutions, I can only find
http://www.nlight.eu/documents/open-source-idm/
which provides some interesting points but is either quite
outdated and also non-objective, being redacted by one of
solutions' (MidPoint) author - as the disclaimer says.
Generally speaking, some "fact sheets" including comparison with
(at least) other Open Source IdM solutions could be highly
desirable, but I don't see any availability for this in the short
term.
Naturally, should you ask my opinion, I am convinced that Apache
Syncope is the most complete, scalable and feature-rich Open
Source IdM out there, especially because it is probably the only
one which is *actually* open.
Regards.
