You might be interested in having a look at Gartner’s Magic Quadrants for Identity Management. In particular, a recent article (15 August 2008) published by Earl Perkins and Perry Carpenter focused on the “Magic Quadrant for User Provisioning”:
“User provisioning delivers capabilities to manage users' identities across systems, applications and resources. Driven by compliance (security effectiveness) and security efficiency, the market is maturing, but identity governance and role-based access concerns raise new issues for customers.”
On one hand this kind of reports provides good insights about the current state of the art (in this case about user provisioning). On the other hand, some criticisms have been given about the overall evaluation of current IdM solutions and their positioning in the “magic quadrant”. For example, have a look at this article by Dave Kearns.
