If you are just looking to use RMUnify for Office 365 and Google sync - there is no value in it - because there are free and easy to use (Microsoft and Google) tools to do this - and they sync groups, users and passwords just fine. So any value will need to be in what else it delivers. Syncing with an MIS is useful - that's certainly worth something. And yes - there are single sign on capabilities for a number of applications (although - often not the good ones you would like to use). There are alternatives - Magellan - for example has improved enormously - and does logons for sites that do not support federated SSO. It also provides external access to domain stored data which from RM would be the cost of another product - Portico. And Magellan in cheaper..... As in all cases - its important to get a test installation and evaluate these products. Don't take anyone else's word for how great something is....not least of all because they all have some short comings and irritations.
