miniOrange Multi-Factor Authentication vs OpenOTP Authentication Server

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.

OpenOTP Authentication Server is an authentication and identity management solution for multi-factor access, offered for cloud or on-premise deployment.
