Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint
WatchGuard AuthPoint is being used across the entire company. This software allows us to use multifactor authentication for remote access. We use it for our internal employees and external contractors that need to get into our servers after hours. Allows for a full-proof method of authenticating users using their cell phones.
- Multifactor Authentication
- Security
- Allow other means for authentication
- Grants security to our infrastructure
Microsoft Azure works, but it isn't integrated into the Watchguard Firebox. Having the integration is fantastic for seamless monitoring.
We have benefited from this because it uses LDAP to pull users over and synchronize their login passwords.
This authentication method is pretty easy to use as it pushes a notification to your phone and you just choose to decline or approve the login attempt.
This is more of a ease of use and our users love not having to constantly enter a password.
