Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint

We use WatchGuard Authpoint in our company for multifactor authentication together with our Virtual Private Network system, also powered by WatchGuard. It provides a safety net for our users when connecting remote to the company resources. It adds one more barrier of security to our infrastructure in a easy and friendly way for both users and administrators.
  • Ease of administration
  • Ease of access
  • Cloud based that makes it so flexible for IT administrators
  • Access to support
  • Authpoint could improve the monitoring feature
  • Authpoint could improve the user connection logs
  • Authpoint could improve the user self service reset password feature
  • It is an extra cost for the company to apply this product, but it is worth it security-wise
  • The product it is not expensive at all
  • You can just add licenses by user, so you don't need to pay for entire company employees if not all of them needed remote access.
WatchGuard AuthPoint Total Identity Security has indeed reduced the managment of our workforce credentials. It is a great product for protecting our employees against leaked credentials, phishing and any other scams that are out there to get users identities. The implementation was great received by the remote and hybrid employees.

According to my manager, the product brings great value to the company cybersecurity-wise. The company gets audited by multiple regulators from different regions every year, and WatchGuard Authpoint settles all of their concerns regarding identity management. Not to mention the reduction on vendor management and cybersecurity insurance qualification.
We have recently implemented WatchGuard AuthPoint TIS to monitor our credentials for leaks in the Dark Web and the corporate password manager to alleviate and centralize our passwords administrations. We found there were old employees credentials on the dark web, so this products brings us one more peace of mind from now on.
As a financial company we are constantly being attacked by scammers with phishing, vishing, you name it. These two features from AuthPoint TIS gives us an extra layer of security protecting the most vulnerable point of every company, the employee.
We reviewed and tested Duo, but having already WatchGuard products, and WatchGuard AuthPoint also having more capabilities, we ended up with them. One less vendor to deal with and also knowing them for a long time and having a great relationship was the key factor to move forward with them.

In my humble opinion, WatchGuard AuthPoint is well suited for any type of company, no matter the size of business. It integrates perfectly with infrastructure that already have other WatchGuard products deployed. But I am not sure how will it play when the case is the contrary. With other security products in place, perhaps it requires more admin/installation effort.
