miniOrange Multi-Factor Authentication vs Protectimus MFA

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.

Protectimus MFA provides cloud and on-premise multi-factor authentication for teams and their customers. Authentication options include a mobile authenticator app, hardware OTP tokens, chatbots, SMS, email, and push notifications. Its cloud service is a ready-to-use SaaS option that avoids managing authentication equipment and infrastructure. On-premise deployment keeps user data, token secrets, and authentication logs within an organization’s infrastructure, with authentication traffic staying inside its network. Listed integrations include Active Directory, LDAP, Windows and RDP, RADIUS, OWA, ADFS, Roundcube, VPNs, Citrix, and Office 365 SSO. Developers can use a REST API that supports XML and JSON, plus Java, Python, and PHP libraries. Additional integration methods include an iFrame widget, plugins, and integration components. On-premise deployments support multidomain environments, clustering, replication, and backups. Protectimus says its solution is OATH-certified and that it is an OATH coordinating member. Plans include a free option for 10 users and paid options; the Custom plan is $2 a month, billed per user.
