Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint

Two factor authentication can be difficult to implement. Our implementation of the WatchGuard AuthPoint product was pretty flawless and we were able to get it done less than a couple of hours. We need a quick way to authenticate to our virtual private network connections for support of the network from offsite locations. The WatchGuard AuthPoint product meets that specification very easily. The integration with the Apple products and the Apple Watch on the apps makes it relatively easy to authenticate the login session.
  • Authentication to VPN
  • Easy enrollment of user
  • East management of client
  • Quick authentication to WatchGuard firewall
  • Cost effective VPN management
  • Quick authentication and no hard token or battery to replace
  • Easy to manage and set up
We are able to positively identify and log all VPN attempts and correspond them to enabled accounts. The fact that a physical token is not involved is a plus. People often leave home without tokens but seldom leave without their cell phones.

We use AuthPoint primarily for 2fa and VPN access. We have also enabled it for users to have offsite connections to their RDP sessions on their assigned PC when a client inside the network is required. The ease of how AuthPoint is configured is a cost savings. Not using multiple authentication methods or configuring multiple applications is a time and costs savings.
Unfortunately we don’t use all the capabilities
No instances we are aware of
  • RSA Access Manager (Discontinued)
We like the integration with the WatchGuard suite of other products
