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 …
The main reason why we selected WatchGuard AuthPoint is first of all the obvious one. We also have Firebox firewalls from WatchGuard. Aside form that they have very competitive pricing compared to the other available alternatives. Also they offer the online push notification …
We have chosen WatchGuard AuthPoint because we are gold partner and we know very well all their products. In the past we have used Safenet but we think that with Watchguard we can get a better solution to protect devices and network. End users don't need to learn difficult …
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.
Watchguard integrates easily into active directory which makes it very versatile. There are a lot more options inside of watchguard Authpoint versus DUO mobile authentication. It also works a lot better on end user devices in my opinion. The reliability of both products are top …
We investigated Fortinet IAM but found it costly and complex. Atuthpoint was less expensive, the mobile client was preferred by staff. The cloud console was also easier to use.
The nature of OpenVPN is that the passwords are stored on the firewall and are static. With Single Sign-On, the passwords change on schedule and complexity, length and time are set by Active Directory policy
The ease of use AuthPoint offers is nearly unmatched, with all of the same (if not more!) security benefits.

Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
While SonicWall worked ok for a while, ultimately, the WatchGuard VPN (Firebox SSL) proved to be a far superior and more reliable product. The Authpoint addition has made authentication of all services that much more secure. Every new layer of security helps to minimize …
We didn't compare other products. We chose WatchGuard AuthPoint because we are a silver partner and already have knowledge about WatchGuard Cloud and other WatchGuard products.
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 …
Maybe Kerio was more easy to configure and for some feature is easy to view some dashboard. But it is an old product, no more update, so we don't trust anymore Kerio.
Watchguard Authpoint is well suited to both small and large companies and scales well. It can be adapted to a number of token delivery methods, and mutliple methods (Push, QR code, OTP) can be used simultaneously to support users in different authentication contexts. The geokinetics function allows for real control of international travelers distinguishing them from random individuals using stolen credentials in random remote locations.
Today to ensure our ISO 27001 certification it is important that we maintain this solution. Today it is part of the way any employee within the organization works, we no longer have any other way of working and it is the simplest way to ensure that access to the workstation is done with MFA.
After initial setup, it practically runs itself. Onboarding new users is fast and easy as it should be. The AuthPoint mobile app is small and simple to use. The only reason I do not give it a 10 is that I frequently get complaints from end users that the AuthPoint app is "constantly downloading". In fact, it's not downloading anything and that what the users are seeing in the app is a timer for the 6-digit code that changes every minute.
WatchGuard support is always quick and reliable. They have urgency levels that you are able to select when creating your support ticket, and they respond in accordance to the severity that you have set. I have never had an issue with getting someone on the phone in the same business day, even for very low priority issues.
It was an Onsite demo at the ditributor with the benefits of Watchguard Authpoint. Was very nice to see the abilities of the product. This Demo was a few years back, since then Authpoint changed allot. It is very nice for partners that you can get this demo without any aditional cost.
We use the online training for all our employees. There are both sales and technical trainings available and there even is a technical certification. You can use this for the Watchguard Partner Program which can give you aditional benefits. Every now and then you have a webinar that discusses multiple Watchguard products.
the first time it takes more effort. It is helpful to already understand how each authentication type works. Then it's much easier to understand the MFA solution that you implement. It is useful to check the release notes from time to time and update the key parts of the Watchguard Authpoint. Authpoint Gateway, Logon App, RDWeb... Also, it's useful to set up notifications when something goes wrong or sometimes check the statistics of how many requests are being approved/denied, etc.
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 accounts, so it can be managed by a team.
Our end uses found this product very easy to use. Using one overview session, I have not had to follow up with users to access the product.
Once deployed, other users in our environment heard about the ease of use. We then had a 25% increase in requests for the product.
This product has added to the overall satisfaction of users having to work offsite, attend conferences and other travel while still being able to stay connected to their work product.
