The AARC project performed an extensive survey of the AAI tools and technologies in use in the research and education community. The tools are compared in the following tables in terms of their respective feature sets. The features have ben grouped in five distinct use cases, namely: authentication, attribute management, discovery services, credential translation and attribute aggregation.
Each table includes the features used for the comparison in the rows, and one column for every tool or technology. The purpose of this comparison is not to suggest a preferred tool for every use case, since different communities have different requirements and there may not be one-size-fits-all solution.
Tools can support several use cases, therefore tools may  appear in more than one table, based on the use cases they support.
