From my organization’s (Ping Identity) perspective, SAML 2.0 is still going very strong and likely won’t be superseded anytime soon. There are plenty of SAML-based products available – more and more popping up every day. Major SaaS providers like Google and Salesforce have standardized on SAML 2.0 SSO, and we’ve seen over 1500 others do so as well.
There’s some evidence to believe that OAuth 2 based SSO – or most likely OpenID Connect (built on top of OAuth 2) – will eventually become as predominant. At the moment it’s mostly focused on consumer facing identity providers & applications like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
SAML still reigns supreme in the business / enterprise world, where strong trust (federation) relationships are required.
