Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint

Authpoint solved the problem, of being able to secure two-factor authentication without needing to use an internal LDAP servThe prncpal business need was to migrate users from standard authentication based on lognames and passwords stored on the firewall, to one with that offered greater security. By corporate policy, there was no option to delegate authentication to an internal LDAP server or Azure AD services.Authpoint solved the problem, of being able to provide the security of two-factor authentication without necessarily having to use an internal LDAP server or Azure AD.Ease of use and configuration are a plus of the product, minimal learning time for those who must then manage the service.
  • Ease of implementation
  • App compatibility even on older smartphones
  • Used with watchguard firewalls, it would be useful to have a multiple user creation system.
  • With some phone carriers, there is some latency, between logging in and the appearance of push confirmation on the app.
  • The product is not priced out of the market; it is perfectly in line.
  • At this moment in history, vpn account trading on darkweb marketplaces is at high levels, an MFA authentication, has a minimal cost compared to the cost of data loss and/or image loss from a data breach
We work with Exclusive Networks and are very comfortable with it.
Very practical is the unified security system, being able to have a view of different installations from a single point is definitely a big advantage for those providing managed services.
The WatchGuard Cloud products work very well even we use them very little leaving only the management of Authpoint to WatchGuard Cloud the but configuration is almost all local.
