Deepnet DualShield MFA Platform vs Entrust Identity App

Deepnet DualShield MFA Platform adds two-factor and multi-factor authentication to business applications and resources. Organizations can install it on-premises or host it in a private cloud; listed environments include Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, API, and self-hosted. Authentication options include SMS, email and voice codes, push, OTP tokens and apps, cards, FIDO keys, biometrics, keystroke dynamics, and device-based signals. Integration methods include LDAP, RADIUS, SAML, FIDO, OATH, WS-Federation, and proprietary agents and clients. Adaptive policies evaluate context such as location, network, device, and time, and can block a request or call for stronger MFA. DualShield also provides single sign-on, identity and access management, and a portal for password changes, resets, and account unlocking. It can protect VPN and remote desktop access, operating-system logins, web and cloud services, and Outlook email. Event logs and email or SMS alerts support auditing and administration. The paid platform has pricing on request, and Deepnet offers a free trial through a request form; no trial duration is stated.

Entrust Identity App provides one-time passcodes for signing in to websites, VPNs, and other online resources, and can verify transactions. For a transaction, it displays the details and generates a corresponding passcode for confirmation. One app can contain identities issued by multiple organizations, with separate branding and passcode generation for each. Entrust says its Transaction Notification Service can wake the app and alert users when transaction details are ready, without using SMS. The app is free to download and is listed for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. Activation depends on an organization that has deployed the Identity Enterprise authentication platform; it is intended for people whose employer, bank, healthcare organization, or another organization uses that platform. Entrust identifies Identity Enterprise as the new name for IdentityGuard. For activation help, users should contact the help desk or help website of the organization they are activating the app for.
