Considered Both Products
Atlassian Crowd
Chose Atlassian Crowd
Atlassian Crowd is just much easier to set up, plus most of our systems we use are from Atlassian, they work with Atlassian Crowd out of the box without much effort, so it ended up being the natural choice for us.
Chose Atlassian Crowd
These products allow you to install them on your own infrastructure, so you can manage all aspects of them which can prevent you from getting throttled from API calls. When you hit a certain threshold of scale you may need to switch off of atlassian Cloud to your own hardware. …
Chose Atlassian Crowd
In most ways, I preferred DUO Security as it offered a better 2-factor authentication method, and Crowd is definitely better than just having to rely on Active Directory.

I have always been of the mind to have a centralized server that sits between your active directory (azure …

Chose Omnissa Identity Services
We also examined several other options, particularly Lenovo Unified Workspace. The Lenovo product had some advantages over the VMWare product, particularly in the areas of customization of the look / feel and user experience. However, we have been a longtime VMWare customer, …

For smaller companies Atlassian crowd is great, however, we grew to a size where we were getting rate limited so we needed to scale up. What we ended up migrating to was the non-cloud solutions for Atlassian products. This allowed us to hit our scale without being rate limited. However, at a smaller scale, this product would work great.

VMWare Identity Manager is a fantastic solution if you're looking for a "single point of access" type experience for delivering applications and data to your users. There are some features it lacks compared to some competitors, particularly when it comes to integration with other products and customization of look/feel, but we have been very successful using it to provide an easier user experience than our old systems were able to deliver.

Pros
  • Many different options for authentication, including credential validation only, user detail synchronization, and more
  • Many different levels of access control, including, user, group, and application-level
Read full review
  • It provides an "SSO" type experience for access to applications and data. Users sign in to one "portal" and then have access to whatever university systems they need to do their job.
  • It greatly simplifies securing these types of access. Firewall rulesets can be made much simpler and easier to manage, as well.

Cons
  • We did not get the speed that we needed vs. hosting our own local atlassian product
  • Configuring accounts could have been easier
  • I didn't like the process for installing extensions

Return on Investment
  • New systems are tough when it comes to an ROI, as a dollar amount for saving time on a sign-in can be tough to track. Like most new systems that makes things slightly easier to execute as an end user or manage or support, it really might come down to the existing structure of how a company manages its users.
  • The positives are always with the end user, which I have to say, Crowd was able to accomplish.
