Perimeter appliances for SAML SSO

My apologies if my question is slightly off topic but I was hoping to get
your thoughts on perimeter appliances for SAML SSO integration.

The short list I have currently is:

Conformity
Ping
Symplified

Pointers to existing published reviews and/or bake-offs would also be
appreciated.

Disclaimer: my question is discovery/research focused only to make sure I am
not missing a vendor worth consideration during due diligence.  I have no
affiliation with any perimeter appliance vendor.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe:

We have had one customer and one large prospect integrate with
SimpleSAML.  It  is an open-source php-based solution.  I have not
played with it, but I intend to now. I was a bit surprised because,
well, it's php.

I have also tested against OpenSSO (which I found excessively complex)
and CAS (very .edu/web oriented).  Both of those are java.

However, these are not appliances and may not meet your requirements.

HTH,

Nick

Yo Joe,

Keep in mind that SSO is one big Anti-Pattern, especially when
considering threats like CSRF. Consider forcing re-authentication for
high risk apps and features (like password or email edit).
