You should keep in mind that even though both BASIS ID and Forefront Identity Manager may provide a top quality range of features each product could be created for a different company size. If you are analyzing various solutions you should pay attention to a company size they are aimed at. Certain functionalities might scale up with no problem for big enterprises but if you run a small or mid-sized business it’s often more sensible to avoid paying for complex functionalities that you might never use.
