Thinktecture Identity Server v/s WSO2 Identity Server

Am trying to choose between Thinktecture Identity Server v3 and Wso2 identity server for implementing Identity and Access Management solution.

Particularly, am interested in using following features:

We are a .Net based shop, so getting more inclined to Thinktecture's IS, but don't want to rule out WSO2 just because its Java (one more dependency for us)

Are there other Pros/Cons between the two?

Thanks

I'm one of the developer of WSO2 Identity server. So my answer would biased to our product :)

WSO2IS is comprehensive Identity Management platform - having support for SAML2, OpenID, XACML 3.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM, WS-Security standards.

And it acts as an Enterprise Identity Bus (EIB) — a central backbone to connect and manage multiple identities regardless of the standards on which they are based (http://blog.facilelogin.com/2014/10/identity-federation-patterns-with-wso2.html).

Few unique features that I would like to highlight on WSO2 Identity Server are.

  1. SSO bridging to make identity and entitlement management effortless.
  2. Identity Federation with EIB concept.(http://blog.facilelogin.com/2014/10/wso2-identity-server-microsoft-adfs.html)

  3. Seamless integration between internal applications and cloud apps such as Salesforce, Google Apps, and Microsoft Office 365.

  4. New user and group provisioning capabilities (http://blog.facilelogin.com/2014/10/wso2-identity-server-500-provisioning.html)

  5. Multi-option and multi-step authentication to provide flexibility in selecting authentication options and enable robust multi-factor authentication (http://blog.facilelogin.com/2014/10/what-is-new-in-wso2-identity-server-500.html)
  6. High scalability (We have a middle-east customer using WSO2 IS over an user base of 4 million for OpenID support.)
  7. Light-weight and Very low memory footprint. The stripped down version of WSO2 IS can be started with 64MB Heap Size and the standard versions runs with 96MB Heap.
  8. Highly extensible. The architecture behind WSO2 IS is highly extensible. You can easily plugin your authenticators, user store, provisioning connectors etc...
  9. Support for multi-tenancy.
  10. Suport for multiple user stores (AD, LDAP, JDBC)
  11. Interoperability.
  12. Part of a proven SOA product platform provided by WSO2.
