| Fact | Boundary | Sysax Multi Server |
|---|---|---|
| Access controls | Boundary supports just-in-time and least-privilege network access, role-based authorization, and single sign-on through OIDC and LDAP. | Administrators can restrict access by IP address or hostname and automatically block repeated failed logins. |
| Automation | Boundary supports Terraform for automated deployment and configuration and provides a REST API, CLI, and SDK. | Activity triggers can start server actions such as OpenPGP encryption or email notifications based on file transfers or login attempts. |
