Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint

WatchGuard AuthPoint is a simple product that allows the user to access from remote to their documents and resources in the office. WatchGuard AuthPoint is more secure and easy to use. It is a Multifactor Authenticator and it can be implemented with a smartphone or hardware token so if an office worker has only a personal phone and he does not know what to use to install an AuthPoint software token, you can decide to provide it to him a hardware token.
  • Integration with Watchguard Firebox for SSL VPN access
  • Integration with SAML
  • Itegration with LDAP Server / Radius
  • Integration with SAML is not easy to implement
  • In my experience, it take little time for manage users and resources.
  • You need take support to users and spend some time for this.
We use WatchGuard AuthPoint for access to the WatchGuard partner portal with MFA and it works fine.
We are technicians and so for us, the access method is easy. In my opinion, end users are easy too because today is normal to have installed almost one authenticator on own smartphone for internet banking access. WatchGuard AuthPoint has the same simplicity.
The first question is that users can have a weak password which happens often, but with MFA this problem is passed so the company security increases exponentially,

WatchGuard AuthPoint is well suited particularly with SSL VPN access because often the employees have password not secure or written near the device and so everyone that find credentials could access to the company. With WatchGuard AuthPoint you can increase remote access security exponentially.
