AuthPoint - The Solver of MFA Woes!
Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint
Currently using AuthPoint to protect our managed monthly firewall assets, and the reporting servers for them. AuthPoint is a great tool to have implemented due to its ease of use for all types of users and is being used by the whole company. Security is the lynchpin of our organisation and if even one user wasn’t secured with AuthPoint it could be catastrophic for our end users that we support. The end users rely on us to be secure, and expect us to be the same so we set the example high, which also makes it easier to demo and sell. After learning more about containerisation, using Authpoint ensures that all our services are protected by the security platform.

AuthPoint offers an enterprise level service in comparison to the consumer products that are available. With centralised management of users and tokens, you have peace of mind thanks to the control, auditing and visibility of the secure of your systems. Consumer products treat MFA as a User to Account management issue, where in this day and age having MFA as a secure later that can be managed centrally for each individual means that support and deployment is faster and easier. Consumer MFA usually requires a separate app for each service - AuthPoint allows you to bundle all MFA systems Into the one app.
Having the cloud app for AuthPoint, with its centralisation in WatchGuard Cloud means that all deployment and support can be done from the one pane of glass. Having it cloud based means that it can be managed from any device easily, while also being secured against intrusions. Cloud based platform takes the pain away from customers and the resellers needing to manage servers, systems and connections to maintain the cloud infrastructure- this is all handled well by WatchGuard.
Yes, using the app is fantastic. It provides plenty of user friendly information to empower the users to
make sure the authentication notification is for the work they are doing. If the app isn’t working or you don’t have a phone that you can use a hardware token can be provided which is super user friendly too.

Users don’t think about security. As security providers we need to ensure that our systems and services provided are as sound as possible. Users appreciate that we take a proactive approach and ensure that their security is front of mind.
as an admin, managing the platform is super easy and intuitive. Forgotten phone, not a problem! You can make changes and add tokens easily from the control panel. Can’t recommend them enough.
