It is used at our own organization and at multiple customers. We like how easy it is for the users to use the MFA application. It is a very stable solution to manage. As an MSP you get a dashboard with all your customers in one place. Very easy to maintain and to set it up!
- Push Notifications
- Protection of Windows and mac computer with Logon app
- Easy of use for IT administrators
Cons
- Ability to convert service provider accounts back to normal customer accounts
- The ability to disable the change 6-digit passhprase when users only use the push option
- The ability to brand the app to own color/logo
- Easy to resell
- Nice margings
- Good market price compared to other companies that offer MFA
Watchguard has better management tools for MSP's and is cheaper.
Yes, very easy indeed. No need for servers.
Very easy for users when they receive the activation mail. Easy to download and activate the app with a few simple clicks.
We do not use this yet, but we have seen demo's that makes it much easier for employees to login just one time for all applications

At our own company we use 4 licences at the moment do protect business programs and our VPN. We are an IT company and provide MFA Authpoint to multiple customers, so our total user case is around 100. There also is the possiblity to connect it with SSO applications like Office365 but for now we do not use this.
