Entrust Identity App vs miniOrange Multi-Factor Authentication

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.

miniOrange Multi-Factor Authentication requires two or more factors to verify a user before access to an account or system. It applies MFA to Windows login, RDP, RD Web, Linux SSH, Mac, VPNs, web applications, and legacy applications. Adaptive policies can use IP address, device, location, and time to allow access, request MFA, or deny it. Passwordless options include biometrics, push notifications, and authenticator apps; security questions and email OTPs can act as fallbacks. Users can self-enroll in administrator-approved methods at first login. Reports, audit logs, and an Endpoint Dashboard cover MFA activity, agent health, deployment status, and troubleshooting. The product supports cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployment. VPN connections include Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto, SonicWall, OpenVPN, Citrix, and RADIUS protocols. Web-app integrations use SAML, RADIUS, OpenID, or JWT. Plans include Free, Essential at $2/user/month, and Premium at $3/user/month. The 30-day trial includes all features and requires no credit card.
