SSO Comparison: SSOGEN Against 19 Products, Row by Row
Each page is a table built from the other vendor's own published pages, with the date we read them, and it says when that product fits better.
This SSO comparison sets SSOGEN beside the product you are evaluating.
SSOGEN is a complete identity provider: any application that speaks SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect connects now. The Web Agent signs people in to Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft and JD Edwards inside the web server.
SSOGEN wrote these pages to one method:
- Sourced. Every statement about another vendor comes from that vendor’s own documentation or product page, linked and dated.
- Not stated. “Not stated” means the pages we read did not say. It does not mean the vendor lacks the feature.
- Fair fit. Where the other product fits better, the page says so. Pick yours below.

How to choose between them
These products solve different problems. Start with what you need to protect.
- Cloud and SaaS apps that speak SAML or OpenID Connect. Any identity provider in the first group handles these. Compare directories, authenticators and price.
- Web apps that cannot speak a standard, like Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft or JD Edwards. Look at the gateways and access managers, and whether each signs people in with an agent or a proxy.
- Server and remote access. Check whether the product covers it or leaves it to a separate tool. SSOGEN runs SSH, RDP and VNC sessions in the browser through its Gateway.
- AI agents. Look for an identity per agent, with an owner, limited scopes and a record of what it did. SSOGEN’s AI agent identity gives each agent exactly that.
Questions people ask
Which SSO is best?
No single product is best for everyone. Choose by what you need to protect: cloud apps, on-premises web apps, server access or AI agents. Each comparison above says, from the vendor’s own documentation, when the other product fits better and when SSOGEN does.
What does SSO stand for?
SSO stands for single sign-on. You sign in once, to one trusted identity provider, then open many apps without signing in to each. The apps trust what the provider tells them. How SSO works walks through the three steps.
What is SSO vs SAML?
SSO is the goal: sign in once. SAML is one standard for carrying that sign-in between an identity provider and an app, using signed XML statements. OpenID Connect is another. SAML is therefore a way to do SSO, not an alternative to it. See SAML authentication.
What are the different types of SSO?
Common types are enterprise SSO using SAML, web and mobile SSO using OpenID Connect, integrated Windows sign-in using Kerberos, and gateway or agent-based SSO for apps that cannot use a standard. What is SSO explains the principle behind all of them.
