<p dir="ltr">Pro:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Uses SAML2<br>
not tied to AD for auth/attributes<br>
More control over integration <br>
Runs on open platforms<br>
Opensource</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cons</p>
<p dir="ltr">Less support from MS as compared to adfs<br>
Trickier to setup and manage the fed trusts<br>
Possible issues with non http based apps (lync and the like) ECP?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Either will do the job. Depends on you preference on platform and support. Note that other vendors also have idp's that will play with O365 (Tivoli TFIM, NetIQ Access Manager, PingOne and Oracle Identity Federation)<br>
