shibboleth vs those "other" idps

No doubt here, I understand that and fully agree. However, I'm wondering
about arguments that work mid-small University shops where that culture
hasn't yet been understood or embraced benefits of open source? Where
resources are more limited to a single position or a fraction of a position
supporting IdM and SSO. That is more where I find myself. Sadly speaking,
business mindsets and corporate efficiencies are many times drawn to
proprietary solutions making the conceptual bigger picture tougher to see.
Which is why my question was more focused on short term, obvious,
feature-type comparisons as an initial means of exposing the larger ideals
which I completely get.
