Authy vs Security Monkey: What are the differences?

Developers describe Authy as "The easiest way to add Two-Factor Authentication to any website or app". We make the best rated Two-Factor Authentication smartphone app for consumers, a Rest API for developers and a strong authentication platform for the enterprise. On the other hand, Security Monkey is detailed as "Monitors AWS and GCP accounts for policy changes". Security Monkey monitors your AWS and GCP accounts for policy changes and alerts on insecure configurations. Support is available for OpenStack public and private clouds. Security Monkey can also watch and monitor your GitHub organizations, teams, and repositories.

Authy and Security Monkey can be categorized as "Security" tools.
