AuthPoint Total Identity Security provides businesses with a solution to protect user accounts and credentials. With
multi-factor authentication, password management, and dark web credential
monitoring, AuthPoint mitigates the risks associated with workforce credential
attacks.
AuthPoint adds an extra layer of security by monitoring for
potential credential exposure in the dark web for both personal and corporate
accounts.
Cisco Secure Access by Duo, against WatchGuard AuthPoint, is a broader tool with more applicability across applications to my knowledge. I also find it to be faster, and simpler for users to understand. For example, with Authpoint, the tokens that appear and "count down" seem …
As we were on Cisco VConnect mobility client, we felt the ROI of using a Cisco auth client would be much better even though when we took this decision, remote working wasn't in vogue. That's the main business reason for going with Duo / Cisco Secure Access, by Duo--a …
WatchGuard AuthPoint is less expensive than most competitors, easier to manage through WatchGuard Cloud, and the MFA solutions is rock solid and secure. We do not worry about vulnerabilities with WatchGuard AuthPoint.
We reviewed and tested Duo, but having already WatchGuard products, and WatchGuard AuthPoint also having more capabilities, we ended up with them. One less vendor to deal with and also knowing them for a long time and having a great relationship was the key factor to move …
AuthPoint integrates with our WatchGuard driven security stack, and is therefor the obvious choice. Competitive pricing. One vendor means streamlined implementation and management, streamlined support.
I would slot Authpoint as better than ESET but not Duo. ESET has the same limitations as Watchguard in the OTP support. It also is an on-prem installed console rather than a cloud, which increases cost and maintenance requirements. The duo now supports standard OTP for admin …
WatchGuard AuthPoint has similar or more features than both Duo and Microsoft 365 Azure MFA. Its setup guides are much more fleshed out than Microsoft's and it is priced lower than both options. As long as your options for the 3 years licensing.
Duo Secure works in a very similar way. We utilize WatchGuard routers & access points in all our offices. We use the WatchGuard Mobile VPN software too. We knew that the WatchGuard AuthPoint would integrate well with our current equipment.
Having the Multi-Factor Authentication developed by the same developer of the devices we use is very beneficial when we have to troubleshoot something. Support is great and is very responsive. Clients seem to prefer using their software over another vendor. The app is very …
AuthPoint has better integration with the product stack. Simpler to implement. Less complex of a setup. Easier to explain to customers and easier training for the engineering/support team. Licenses per user are good value and affordable for the majority of our small and …
AuthPoint was a clear choice when comparing these products. With a mixed OS environment, Cisco Duo did not seem to work well. Azure MFA does not work with MAC OS. Watchguard AuthPoint met what we needed.
The product works great but needs more control on the device itself (no jailbroken device, check the local update, etc). The GUI is more clean and simple on the Authpoint side.
We have implemented both Azure VPN Gateway & Cisco Duo in our environment alongside AuthPoint. Each has a different use case. Azure VPN client (we are using this with O365 MFA) is a split tunnel solution, relatively cost-effective and easy to use - the beauty of the solution …
In my opinion, Authpoint is by far the better product for MFA. Firstly, the ease of setup and maintaining the system is 100% easier and simple than DUO. Not having to change random hidden text files to achieve what you need. Install one gateway server and you're away. Simple. …
Watchguard Authpoint is a good competitor to Duo in environments that run the Watchguard ecosystem as it has seamless integration and can be managed using the existing platform. Cisco Secure Access is more vendor-agnostic and is a better fit in my opinion for larger …
AuthPoint was acquired at a much lower price point than similar competing products. Let's face it, price is king, especially when you need to increase security without a real budget. AuthPoint was also easy to integrate using the same vendor and support techs from the firewall …
FortiAuthenticator is less compatible than Authpoint, for other players and is needed to have a virtual machine to deploy FortiAuthenticator image, if you think in high availability of MFA services you should have two or more servers. The licensing of FortiAuthenticator is more …
Duo is a great alternative however we chose to go with AuthPoint because we were already using other products from Watchguard including the firewall, DNS filter and it uses the same cloud dashboard like the other products. From my understanding Duo has much better integration …
