miniOrange Multi-Factor Authentication vs Spriv Adaptive 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.

Spriv Adaptive MFA adds multi-factor checks to logins across web, Windows, Linux and mobile environments. Its adaptive authentication can pair a workstation with an environmental identifier from a phone after the user approves a login, then authenticate later matching logins in the background. Other factors include one-way and two-way SMS, TOTP, and Allow/Deny prompts. Windows Remote Desktop logins can use a credential provider, while a PAM module covers SSH, su and sudo on Linux and Unix. Developers can connect their own applications through a REST API with sample code in five languages. Schema and directory needs vary by plan: Business includes Active Directory synchronisation and bulk user import. Large institutions can host custom servers in their own data center; other customers use shared cloud servers. Spriv states that its MFA meets FFIEC, PCI, HIPAA and SOX requirements and does not transfer personally identifiable information. It offers iOS and Android apps, a free plan for up to two users and two servers, and paid service from $7/user/mo. SMS on the free account is billed at carrier cost.
