Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint

We currently use WatchGuard AuthPoint for MFA requirements for VPN access, RADIUS implementations, and various SAML implementations, and we're testing the API capabilities for use with specific applications.
  • Easy to use for end users
  • Implementation is simple and quick to do
  • Overall management isn't a huge learning curve for admins or developers
  • The iOS app should be licensed by device instead of user, so it's more easily deployed using MDM solutions.
  • The overall ROI is quick for a few reasons, one being enhanced security and the second being the flexibility of utilizing the product in a number of different ways.
As a WatchGuard customer adding AuthPoint was a simple add-on to their other products and a seamless learning curve for the admins.
Most of our users have not had issues with the mobile device, but some were less inclined to install the app because they didn't quite understand the concept of using an authenticator. One way that could be alleviated would be to allow the use of WatchGuard AuthPoint tokens with 3P authenticators from Microsoft/Google as there is familiarity with the brands.
We haven't fully utilized SSO options at this time.
