Compare Amazon Cognito vs. OpenIAM Access Manager

Amazon Cognito is a simple user identity and data synchronization service that helps you securely manage and synchronize app data for your users across their mobile devices. You can create unique identities for your users through a number of public login providers (Amazon, Facebook, and Google) and also support unauthenticated guests. You can save app data locally on users’ devices allowing your applications to work even when the devices are offline. With Amazon Cognito, you can save any kind of data in the AWS Cloud, such as app preferences or game state, without writing any backend code or managing any infrastructure. This means you can focus on creating great app experiences instead of having to worry about building and managing a backend solution to handle identity management, network state, storage, and sync.

The Web Access Manager is an integral part of the OpenIAM platform. The Access Manager provides a scalable, secure and consistent solution to access applications in hybrid environments for both corporate (employees) and consumers (external) alike.

The Access Manager provides organizations with the following tools to enable these objectives:

Web SSO with support for SAML 2, oAuth 2, OIDC, and a rProxy to allow SSO to legacy applications
Adaptive Authentication
Multifactor Authentication (MFA)
Social Sign-on
Authorization
Session Management
Device registration
Fine grained audit logging
