Being under the google umbrella gives a level of reassurance to our users. It seems to be cleaner and easier to use for our users. Being able to use a product from an already known vendor helps onboard new users to the software. It is clean and easy to use, all of the users …
First, Google Authenticator meets the security requirements which should be considered "table stakes". Second, simplicity is critical. Many users don' understand why they are setting up MFA (or they just don't care), and so adding additional complications to their day-to-day is …
I've used Duo, Authy and Google Authenticator for non-work-related accounts. I didn't have any say in initially choosing AuthPoint for our organization and haven't had any big enough reason to recommend we switch away.
We use the Microsoft MFA also and I have used the Google Authenticator (only prior to the MS version being released, however). They are similar in terms of functionality of course, but I have not attempted additional integrations using SAML 2.0 or anything like that so cannot …
AuthPoint is a good merge between Authy and Google Authenticator. Authy has a better push notification system while google auth has a better time based. AuthPoint is a perfect mix between the two, and if you need both, it is the obvious solution. Having integration …

WatchGuard's AuthPoint has been a breeze to implement and manage as compared to other vendor solutions and its third-party integrations put it in on a level beyond comparison.
We chose WatchGuard for two reasons. 1. We have been using WatchGuard appliances for many years and 2. The AuthPoint licensing prices are reasonable and fit our budget. So I would say that familiarity with WatchGuard products and knowing how good Watchguard support is were …
WatchGuard AuthPoint in my experience has been far easier to setup compared to Duo which I have used extensively in the past, for both engineers and the end users
Authpoint was an easy choice as we use WatchGuard firewalls. This allows us to set up two factor authentication for VPN access easily. With Work-From-Home becoming the norm [rather] than the exception, this extra layer of security is vital. It is nice that there are several …

Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
AuthPoint has a much broader use, where the competition falls short.
I've found most MFA applications function essentially the same. It's ideal to have all your accounts using the same platform for simplicity. WG's AuthPoint provides that compatibility.
We're a WatchGuard Gold Partner and have been installing WG firewalls and Wireless Access …
AuthPoint protects both cloud/app logins as well as, and most importantly, our corporate login (Active Directory based). WatchGuard AuthPoint gives the option of using hardware OTP tokens for corporate network login, as well as the mobile app which is simple to use, customise, …
WatchGuard has great documentation, and we use it in our product stack of firewalls which is why we thought it'd be a good compliment to use it for MFA. It was easy to use and setup with good documentation and support.
