Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint

Quick, efficient way to deploy MFA within WatchGuard tech stack. We primarily use for MFA enforcement onIKEv2 & SSL VPNs.
  • Simple MFA deployment on VPNs
  • Active directory integration for more complex deployments / lower admin overhead after implementation
  • Ability to deploy with user id DB in cloud for smaller / simpler deployments
  • Have had issues where Firebox comes "disconnected" from the cloud, which results in VPN functionality outage
  • Mobile app does not always provide push notifications, even with sufficient device permissions - We train users to open the app when attempting to auth
  • I am not sure if 3rd party authenticators are supported, possible they are and I'm unaware, but this would be a nice feature, occasionally receive objections to installation on personal devices
  • This has enabled us (as an MSP) to effectively market, and win solutions for MFA implementation on our WatchGuard VPNs. Simple enough to be easy to quote, and inexpensive enough to easily demonstrate value to clients.
We are not running "total identity" Just using AuthPoint as an MFA solution
Total identity security is not implemented in our tech stack.
We have not implemented TIS in our tech stack.
NO, TIS not implemented by us.
AuthPoint integrates with our WatchGuard driven security stack, and is therefor the obvious choice. Competitive pricing. One vendor means streamlined implementation and management, streamlined support.

Do you think WatchGuard AuthPoint delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with WatchGuard AuthPoint's feature set?

Yes

Did WatchGuard AuthPoint live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of WatchGuard AuthPoint go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy WatchGuard AuthPoint again?

Yes

AuthPoint is the obvious choice if you already have a WatchGuard edge device, particularly if using it for VPN endpoint. I have not tried implementing it for other services, although it has this capability, but if I didn't already have a WG techstack, I would look at other alternatives to protect non-WatchGuard services.
