The Enterprise SSO market is close to defacto standardizing around SAML AFAICT. Either your product supports it, or the very large enterprises with very large budgets can't use it, and your competitor that does support SAML gets the dollars instead.

On a side note, is it necesary to use cryptic acronyms like "AFAICT"? If you don't want to write "as far a I can tell", why do you? It's kinda annoying to have to google for abbreviations like that all the time

It’s more annoying to have to type out the full expression each time you use it. That acronym has been in use on the internet for decades.

I thought it was a SSO protocol for a second. It sort of makes sense - Are you logged in? As Far As I Can Tell.
