So, we just released a freemium offering. That's typically a SaaS marketing move. Various hosted solutions have freemium two-factor authentication offerings. However, many, many people are uncomfortable outsourcing the keys to their kingdom. The reason we are willing to offer a piece of server software as a freemium product is that we are highly confident that the support costs will be minimal. Our server is very robust and rugged. It runs and runs. Come to our IRC channel (#wikid on freenode) and ask some customers. In fact, one of our biggest issues is that customers don't upgrade the server because they never have issues with it.
Authentication-as-a-Service offerings are not really 'software-free' either. RADIUS, the primary authentication protocol for all enterprises is not encrypted. So any AaaS service you use requires that you install software to proxy these requests. Our goal is to make it as easy to install WiKID as it is to install these proxies. On top of that, we offer advanced RADIUS functionality like Return-attributes, groups as well as other protocols like TACACS+.
In addition, WiKID is easier for the end-user than 'two-step authentication'. With WiKID, you get the OTP and login. That's better than logging in with a username and password, then getting an OTP and logging in. Users do not need an extra hassle.
