What both publish
| Fact | Bastillion | Tailscale |
|---|---|---|
| Access controls | Systems can be grouped into profiles that control which users can access them. | ACLs use users, groups, IPs, CIDRs, hosts and tags in directional default-deny policies to control which identities can connect. |
| Identity integrations | The maker lists Entra ID, Okta, and ADFS as SAML identity-provider examples. | SSO and MFA can use existing providers including Google, Microsoft AD, GitHub, Okta and OneLogin. |
| Product | Bastillion is a self-hosted, browser-based SSH console and SSH key-management platform. | Tailscale describes itself as a zero-config VPN that works with almost anything. |
