Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint
Easier to use and deploy than our previous solution. Especially since we increased our remote workforce, WatchGuard AuthPoint has helped us quickly deploy access to our employees to allow them to work remotely and ensure that their access was secure. WatchGuard AuthPoint is also very easy to deploy and use with few management requirements.
- Easy to deploy
- Easy to use
- Easy to manage
- Not too expensive
- Easier access to logs
- Easier deployment for new users
- Better warning on licence expiration
- Quick transition to remote work for the workforce
- Low cost regarding licences compared to previous solution
- Well integrated with the Watchguard cloud solution for ease of management
- RSA Access Manager (Discontinued)
Easier to deploy and manage. Everything is accessible thru the web console. The major difference is in the cost of ownership. WatchGuard AuthPoint is less expensive by far compared to the previous solution. This is a key point especially since the number of users required to work offsite has dramatically increased in the past 2 years.
It's not only easier to manage but we are also confident that the solution is always up to date and that new features are added and evolve rapidly when security issues are discovered. We can always count that we are up to date and that our solution is 100% reliable and secure.
It is really a lifesaver. Push authentification is so much easier to use than our previous solution which required pins to be synchronized and entered. This saves a lot of time in training and support. Our users can focus on their work and less time is spent on support.
We have not implemented SSO but we will probably look at it eventually. It is nice to see that it is available and that we can leverage this functionality if we ever decide to implement it.

Especially the price. It was less expensive than our previous solution and it was a key deciding point since our remote workforce headcount increased dramatically in the last 2 years.
We would not. We are totally satisfied with our evaluation and selection process. We would do the same.
