Daon IdentityX vs HYPR Authenticate

Daon IdentityX is an identity management platform for verifying identities and authenticating users across mobile, web, and in-person channels. Organizations can deploy it on premises, on customer-managed cloud infrastructure, or on Daon-managed cloud infrastructure, and select individual services rather than buying the full suite. IdentityX supports document verification, face matching, liveness and age checks, and biometric methods including fingerprint, face, voice, eye, and palm. Its mobile SDKs support biometric quality assessment, speech recognition, liveness detection, and identity document capture. The platform can check government identity documents, NFC-enabled ePassports and IDs, mobile driver’s licenses, and verifiable credentials; optional connectors provide third-party checks. Its FIDO-certified server supports UAF and FIDO2 registration and authentication through compatible web apps and browsers. Integration options include REST web services APIs, iOS and Android SDKs, and browser-based components. Daon says IdentityX has ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 27701, and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications. Pricing is on request.

HYPR Authenticate provides passwordless, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication using passkeys. It turns a smartphone into a FIDO2 credential based on public-key cryptography, eliminating passwords and shared secrets. Users pair phones with computers by scanning a QR code, then approve access with biometrics or a decentralized PIN. Authentication covers desktops, virtual desktop infrastructure, web apps, single sign-on, VPN and RDP; an offline mode supports workstation access without internet connectivity. Multiple phones and computers can be paired, and Remote Lock lets users lock a workstation from a smartphone. Organizations can apply their own branding and connect identity providers such as Entra ID, Okta and Ping, as well as RADIUS infrastructure and SIEM platforms. The service supports iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux and web. Plans include Identity Assurance Access at $3 a month, Identity Assurance Plus at $6 a month and Identity Assurance Advanced at $9 a month, all billed monthly. A free plan, free trial and free pilot for up to 50 users are listed.
