Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Protectimus MFA is a multi-factor authentication platform for organizations securing employee, customer, directory, application, VPN, desktop, and network access. It supports cloud and on-premise deployment, making it suitable for teams that need flexibility around infrastructure or data location. Authentication options include the Protectimus SMART mobile authenticator app, hardware TOTP tokens, chatbot OTPs, SMS, email, and push notifications. It also supports passwordless authentication and adaptive access controls.
Pricing is structured across several plans. The Free plan costs $0 per month and includes 10 users, 1 resource, and an unlimited trial period with no card required to register. Starter costs $33 per month for 23 users and 1 resource. Business costs $111 per month for 77 users, 2 resources, 2 filters, and 1 admin. Platform costs $199 per month for 99 users and 1 resource, with additional users priced at $2. Cluster costs $299 per month for 99 users and 1 resource. Custom pricing is shown at $2 per user with individual configuration. The published plans make the product accessible for evaluation and provide distinct paths for larger or clustered deployments.
Integration breadth is a key strength. Protectimus MFA connects with Active Directory, ADFS, LDAP, databases, RADIUS, VPNs, Windows and RDP, OWA and Exchange Admin Center, Office 365 SSO, Roundcube, Citrix, Linux, macOS, and API environments. REST API support includes XML and JSON, while SDKs are available for Java, PHP, and Python; Java SDK support is also listed separately. On-premise deployments add clustering, replication, and backup support, while transaction signing uses Confirm What You See. Choose Protectimus MFA when hybrid deployment, varied OTP workflows, and directory or application integration are priorities. Teams seeking a narrower, simpler MFA service may prefer a product with fewer deployment and configuration choices.
