Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint

We currently use AuthPoint for Network Login MFA on our computers. We also use it for VPN access for remote access to network resources. This ensures that even if passwords are compromised, access to our network is protected. In addition, it provides MFA for access to our Office 365 accounts.
  • Protects again unauthorized access to our computers and network.
  • The mobile phone app is great for handling tokens for other platforms like banking.
  • Installation and rollout for users is very easy and Watchguard provides very detailed setup instructions for getting the most out of using MFA.
  • Currently, users logging into their computers with a Microsoft account cannot use the Authpoint Logon App.
  • The initial setup of the token on a mobile device has been a challenge for some non-Tech savvy users who do not know what a QR Code is for activation.
  • Using MFA has reduced the costs of our Cyber insurance costs significantly.
  • All company laptops are secured if lost or stolen.
We have benefited by the Cloud nature of the setup and maintaining of users. Being able to help other companies roll out Authpoint without having to be connected to their networks makes setup very easy.
Yes, most users are more than happy to install and use the mobile application. We do have some users resistant to installing software on their own purchased mobile phones and we provide them with Hardware Tokens to use.
Logging into the computer with Authpoint cuts down the time users spend authenticating to multiple sites and applications. This time savings increase users' productivity and cut down calls to our help desk for password and login support.
