WSO2 IAM Advantages over Forgerock IAM

Security for AI Agents

Modern applications are AI-native. They empower organizations with new levels of productivity, creativity, and agility. WSO2 IAM products provide comprehensive security and careful monitoring to ensure their safe operation.

AI-Powered Configuration

Developers use natural language to describe their desired registration or login experience and WSO2 IAM products automatically generate the orchestration flows needed to realize it, greatly simplifying critical tasks that can take a long time or require significant expertise in IAM concepts.

AI-Assisted Branding Capabilities

Branding for user-facing components such as login dialogs, user portal and email communication uses AI to automatically create consistent, thorough branding. Forgerock doesn’t have any similar capabilities.

Low TCO with Your Choice of License Model

WSO2 offers predictable, low TCO with both consumption-based (MAU) and traditional core-based subscription pricing. Forgerock, however, limits customers to MAU pricing, even for on-premises deployments. This can significantly increase Forgerock’s costs for large-scale deployments.

Fully Open Source

WSO2 offers fully open-source IAM, with ongoing updates and no feature limitations, fostering trust and community contribution. With Forgerock, on the other hand, customers must purchase a subscription to get access to advanced features2.

Maximum Extensibility

Developers love WSO2 IAM for its extensive set of APIs and extension points. WSO2’s architecture offers richer contextual information. No wonder users rate WSO2 higher in areas of customization and extensibility.6

Ease of Use

WSO2 IAM offers a modern, user-friendly administration console UI, while independent reviews like G2 highlight Forgerock's complex UI requiring deeper technical expertise.3 4

Business Customer and Partner Management (B2B)

Transform how you secure and streamline user access to your B2B SaaS applications. WSO2 delivers the industry’s most flexible, comprehensive B2B CIAM solution, so you can focus on working smarter with your valuable customers. Forgerock and other vendors claim they can do the same, but their overly simple one-size-fits-all approach falls short.5

True Multi-Tenant SaaS Deployment Option

WSO2 offers Asgardeo, a full multi-tenant SaaS, in addition to on-prem and private cloud deployment options. All three offer a consistent user experience and feature set. Forgerock’s online option operates differently and lacks some capabilities of its on-prem option1.
