SAML SaaS providers are increasingly used over internally hosted SAML servers like Microsoft ADFS. Okta and Ping, to name a few, make things extremely easy for internal security teams, and likewise for SaaS providers.
I have been on the implementation team inside a large enterprise for Okta and MS ADFS. It was far easier for me to say to SaaS providers "make sure you integrate with Okta" vs having a series of technical meetings to implement a specific configuration for ADFS. It outsources risk, and means SaaS providers only have to manage the integration with one provider for a potentially large customer base.
