The ability for the APP to replace other APPs so the end users doesn’t have multiple MFA APPs on their phones. The settings for group management are easy to control, and that it is cloud based for management is even better.

We got this using the NFR product and evaluated it. The easy of use and protection is far superior to other products in the marketplace.
I have clients using RSA and after a demo and trial for them on the AuthPoint, they switched and are happier with this product over RSA.
I would not change any of the evaluation processes.

WatchGuard AuthPoint Implementation

Send out an email beforehand to the users to make sure they know that there will be an email and what app to get installed on their phones
Change management was minimal - Getting the users to accept the email and install the app on their phones was the hardest part of the installation
  • users accepting the email and making sure it was not Phishing
  • users installing the app on their phones / forgetting their apple password to install the app
