Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With todays work climate we not only work on location, but often remote. WatchGuard provides us a secure way of employees accessing sensitive work data under the saftey of WatchGuard. We worry less about security with WatchGuard and focus more of our time on work. Thank you WatchGuard, we are comforted that we know you have our backs.

Pros

Ease of Use
Security
Reliable

Likelihood to Recommend

With the remote work environment we are able to securly get all employees working under the saftey and security that WatchGuard provides while accessing work files as if we were at work.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use WatchGuard AuthPoint to act as the MFA tool for our business which allows our users who login to login securely and not have to worry about any security lapses that could potentially be very damaging to our business. The App is very straight forward and the pricing is just right.

Pros

Two Factor Authentication
User Friendly App
Push Notifications

Cons

Push Notification can be slightly inconsistent
Some Minor Glitches with the App
Pricing could be a challenge if you had more users

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it is very well suited for small to medium business. We are only a staff of 10 but now we use it for our remote technicians so they can login to our servers and perform remote sessions. We fell secure with this and not as exposed as using basic RDS sessions

Easy to add MFA for remote users

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use AuthPoint together with our WatchGuard firewall to secure our remote workers via 2 factor push notifications to their mobile devices when attempting to login to the VPN from a remote location.

Pros

Consistent MFA push notifications
Simple management once configured
Reasonable logging for debugging

Cons

Documentation is lacking for more complicated setups, for example integrating into Windows AD Radius backed VPNs
Generally configuration can be time consuming as it is not always clear where settings are, cloud or local

Likelihood to Recommend

AuthPoint is great if you are already in the ecosystem, I cannot see how this would benefit if you are not already using a WatchGuard firewall or other service they provide. Most competitors have their equivalent products so mixing these up will likely lead to issues.

AuthPoint is the way to go for MFA.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use AuthPoint for our desktop, server and VPN login MFA. It has kept out so many hacking attacks on our network and servers. We have been extremely impressed with the ease of use and installation of this software. We had concerns because we have implemented "other" MFA software products and have been extremely unhappy with how they have performed.

Pros

MFA
Securing our servers and desktops.
Securing our VPN.

Cons

renewing license

Likelihood to Recommend

Cyber Insurance now requires all systems to have MFA enabled. By us implementing AuthPoint, we were able to fulfill this obligation and everyone is now secure.

Great product support could be faster

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At our small software company, we have a number of remote workers in the US, as well as abroad. We use WatchGuard AuthPoint to secure our IKEv2 VPN - remote users must use the WatchGuard AuthPoint mobile app to allow the VPN to connect. This is just one of our security layers, we use other 2FA to control logins, etc.

Pros

Speed of notification
Stable connection
Mobile app has minimal footprint
Portal is easy to navigate

Cons

Email support is SLOW unless I want to allow a stranger to access my production firewall. That is never allowed here, so our hands are tied in terms of being able to get support in less than 48 hours.
Again, support takes far too long because you refuse to employ any staff that works in US time zones during normal business hours.
There has to be another option besides: 1) you take full control of my systems or 2) I wait on SLOW email support that isn't that great.

Likelihood to Recommend

While I cannot speak of the functionalities that we do not use, the 2nd factor authentication has been great. It's actually secure, I can control it all remotely, users don't mind the extra step, and management feels more at ease knowing that we have full access control. The VPN for remote connections is fast and stable, it stays connected during network oddities and has plenty of bandwidth.
