(51-75 of 209)Authpoint is a lifesaver for the remote workforce
- Easy to deploy
- Easy to use
- Easy to manage
- Not too expensive
- Easier access to logs
- Easier deployment for new users
- Better warning on licence expiration
Easy to use MFA.
- Manage tokens.
- Integrates easily with Active Directory.
- Easy to manage from WatchGuard cloud.
- Transferring of tokens when changing devices.
The best purchase you can make.
- Managing tokens.
- Logon.
- To create good habits with the use of credentials.
- Mitigating the risk of our credentials being compromised.
- Easier API integration.
- Logon for Linux.
- More profiles.
Great 2fa product.
- Ease of set up.
- Ease of use.
- Cloud console provides good usage details.
- I would like more feedback when Login attempts fail, maybe a separate push notification to admin.
- With the AD tie-in, it fails if an email address is not listed but doesn't give feedback on why it failed to send a set-up email.
WatchGuard AuthPoint is marvelous
- MFA on the cloud
- Ease of Administration
- Availability of Authpoint service
- Many integrations with today's applications
- Some product integration requires Authpoint Gateway. Meaning additional service to maintain
- WatchGuard AuthPoint Logon App unable to secure usernames with spacing
- Loading speed of WatchGuard Cloud console can improve
AuthPoint - a simple solution with great security
- MFA for VPN
- MFA on computer logins
- Security on active sync requests
- The integration with my firewall can be better
- Implementation is tedious
- All of our information is on their cloud which makes me nervous
WatchGuard AuthPoint Real Use Case.
- Router integration.
- Active directory integration.
- WG Cloud integration.
- More redundancy with External Identities so more Domain Controllers to sync.
WatchGuard AuthPoint works fine
- Security for logins
- MFA
- Administration of the system takes very little time to add/change/delete
- The installation was difficult. Step-by-step instructions were old and did not work. I needed to get on with the support rep to get it installed.
- I wish they had more case studies and reviews about using the hardware tokens instead of mobile phone apps. We would not have bought any tokens because they didn't suit our mission. All but a few are sitting on the shelf unused.
- Wish we didn't have to connect to the cloud to do this. It seems like a security flaw in the making. I have to stress that nothing has happened yet, I'm just not thrilled about the chance it has for issues to come up.
Needed Add-On
- consistently works
- no complicated end-user interaction
- straight forward
- The entire setup process is at times confusing. Multiple how to videos from watchguard that don't mesh with each other makes it more confusing.
- Provide a single updated how to guide and/or video for backend setup
quick and easy
- Provides another layer of security and additional roadblock from possible hackers
- is very quick to use in combination with our cell phone to verify authentication
- I can't think of anything. It is truly simple, easy, and fast to use. And I can't say I have ever said that before about software before.
- Easy active directory integration
- Well documented web application integration
- Desktop, laptop, and server MFA application
- Sometimes the logon app pushes authentication attempt to the wrong user
- Sometimes the logon app pushes authentication attempt without having the correct password
- Relatively easy to set up from the end user side
- Utilizes cell phone technology
- Allows employees options - code, push, hardware token, etc.
- Syncs with AD
- End-User setup - When finished it should highlight it was successful and they can close the app. Many left it open and thought it was not setup
- Initial IT setup is a little involved but WG support / sales was helpful
Maybe the best easy way to fast computer access and manage companies' passwords and personal as well
- Websites
- Windows 10
- Office 365
- Windows server 2016
- Improve push access on windows 11.
- Add the option to configure on open CRM´s like Suite CRM.
- The option to local bankings.
Authentication on point with Authpoint
- The Authpoint Cloud portal is easy to use and navigate
- It integrates well with the Firebox and gateway
- Promptly sends 2FA request onto the user devices
- Its very easy to re-activate token on a new device if the device is lost or stolen
- Troubleshooting logs are available to figure out whats wrong if a user cannot authenticate
- Integration with on-premise AD is not working, even after speaking with the support team, it could not get resolved. There is no better documentation on this topic as well
- Integration with Azure AD is not supported without the presence of on-prem AD
- Logs information is not precious, it provides a generic code in some cases, making it harder to troubleshoot.
- The Watchguard AuthPoint App in AppStore has some issues, after it's activated there is no approval request being sent to the phone, and there is no way to troubleshoot this, the only way to make it work is by uninstalling the app and reinstalling it again.
WatchGuard AuthPoint Review
- Simplicity to setup
- Easy implementation
- No fuss setup with software token
- Azure AD sync works well
- Support
- App sometimes takes longer for it to boot
- Change the way it sends out geo-coordinate (Not using PowerShell)
Solid product from solid company
We use WatchGuard AuthPoint for MFA for logging into local Windows desktops and laptops.
- Reliable authentication process between the WatchGuard Cloud and end devices
- Integration to local Active Directory is superb
- WatchGuard Cloud interface is mostly intuitive
- Agent software installation is very straightforward and works the first time
- More flexibility in designating which local AD users participate in MFA or not
- The ability to designate which users have a license and which ones don't
- Easier admin bypass for local desktop login
Integrates to Office 365 for a login provider--has some caveats though.
Integrates with WatchGuard firewalls for MFA on VPN connections.
- The product is very easy to set up. This took less than two hours to implement.
- We were able to assist get the users all set up and onboard using the product in less than 20 minutes for their users.
- The phone app for this is very easy to use and was free.
- While the set up was easy to do the instructions could use a little more details.
- It would be useful to be able to tell how many users are at the firewall level instead of going out to the cloud to look for it.
- Multi-Factor Authentication - push and rotating key options.
- Integration with WatchGuard Firebox.
- We haven't encountered any issues or deficient areas; it works exactly as expected.
A Great Product at a Great Price!
- Encryption
- Push Notifications
- Security
- Pop-up boxes on the application feel outdated
- Could be more streamlined to implement
- Web instructions for setting up can be hard to follow
Good value, easy to implement MFA solution
- Easy to setup the licensing and gateway components
- Simple for end-users to use
- Integrates well with WatchGuard firewalls
- Java/OpenJDK components hog memory for the AuthPoint gateway server
- Push notifications to need to have a number matching/login context (i.e. login location map screenshot) to discourage users from just pressing approve without paying attention
- The process for adding/extending license counts is clunky and has to be updated in 2 areas manually
- Unable to use text message/phone call option when implementing MFA for WatchGuard SSLVPN client (more of an issue with VPN client software)
- Windows login MFA could use some improvements
- Protects again unauthorized access to our computers and network.
- The mobile phone app is great for handling tokens for other platforms like banking.
- Installation and rollout for users is very easy and Watchguard provides very detailed setup instructions for getting the most out of using MFA.
- Currently, users logging into their computers with a Microsoft account cannot use the Authpoint Logon App.
- The initial setup of the token on a mobile device has been a challenge for some non-Tech savvy users who do not know what a QR Code is for activation.
Simple and Fast.
- Watchguard VPN 2FA.
- Sync between Microsoft Windows Server Active Directory.
- Radius Authentication Sync.
- There can be APIs that support 3rd party message services for Time Password (OTP).
- Compatibility with Mixed Apple & Windows Environment.
- Various authentication methods.
- Fast authentication time.
- Flexible setup.
- Sync user accounts with Azure AD or LDAP.
- Support cases response time could be improved. It is good to support, but I would like to see this time improve.

- AppleWatch apps.
- Setup by phone number/sms
- Security of the device (jailbreak etc).
- User management.
