Assitant IT Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/10/2021 "Great MFA app" 5/5 What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint? Some recent audits forced our company to implement 2FA. We currently use Watchguard Firewalls for our network protection. Setting up Multi-Factor Authentication using the Watch guard app was a breeze. One of the things I found remarkable is that the pricing structure is affordable for the company's size. We currently have a handful of individuals that access our system through a VPN tunnel, so Authpoint allowed us to integrate 2FA on that VPN seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint? Currently, I don't have anything that I dislike about the app. It just works. We haven't experienced any problems with the software. The minute you try and connect to the VPN, your phone receives a notification that you have to approve before it allows you to log in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WatchGuard AuthPoint solving and how is that benefiting you? AuthPoint Multi-Factor Authentication allowed our company to add 2FA for all the users that log into our network via our secure VPN.

I like the fact that the software is incredibly easy to use for the users. The software deploys a pop-up on their mobile device, asking if they are trying to connect to the VPN, and they simply click Yes. Very nice, simple solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint? I understand that the system has multiple levels of security involved, but I dislike the fact that the user has a single token, meaning that they can only have a single mobile device, so if they lose their phone, forget it at home, or it gets damaged, we (in IT) have to delete the old token and issue them a new one, making their connection process slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WatchGuard AuthPoint solving and how is that benefiting you? When I initially looked at AuthPoint, I thought it was going to be similar to other vendors' products, in that it would be sending them a 6 or 7 digit code. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that it's just sending them a confirmation request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Keep hackers at bay with Authpoint 2FA" 5/5 What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint? The push notifications are easy to use since my phone is always on my desk. It has become a normal part of my work routine. I login to my pc first thing in the morning, then connect to my vpn using the credentials, grab my phone and click approve. It is that easy! It makes me feel protected and safe while working from home and accessing the office network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint? I don't have many downsides to using this product really. Users can easily forget their passwords and then are not able to login. But you can reset the password fairly quickly to resolve the issue. If you are charging your phone or find you have left it in another room, then you quickly remember when you cant login to the vpn client. That is also an easy problem to correct. Overall this is a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering WatchGuard AuthPoint: Two factor authenication is a must in today's environment. It is a cost-effective way to keep your organization safe. It also gives the business owner peace of mind for employees accessing the network during and outside of working hours. Easy to setup and configure the software for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WatchGuard AuthPoint solving and how is that benefiting you? It helps our organization stay secure by eliminating outside RDP connections to the internal network. Before implementing the Authpoint our network was being pounded with outside remote desktop protocol attempts from Russia, North Korea, etc. Great for remote workers to stay secure at home!

IT Technician Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/14/2021 "Good, Secure Authenticator App" 4/5 What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint? I like that it keeps all of my accounts secure within one simple app. It gives me a huge confidence boost knowing that i can confidently use applications and websites and know that they cannot be compromised due to having a very secure and trustworthy multi factor Authenticator app. The app itself is very easy to use and you can add account security by simply scanning a QR code when setting up multi factor authentication on a new application or website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint? Unfortunately Authpoint is not a free application to use. It requires a user to be setup on a watchguard cloud account and a Token assigned. This therefore means that the application can only be activated and used if a company has a WatchGuard firebox, WatchGuard cloud subscription and then have the company set you up an active user. You must have an active WatchGuard cloud subscription to use this - Google Authenticator is just as good as a free alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is WatchGuard AuthPoint solving and how is that benefiting you? I know that even if my passwords were ever compromised, I have the safety of my multi-factor authentication as a second line of defence to stop people from accessing my accounts. We as a company have gained the trust of many of our customers. They are now using Authpoint, giving them the confidence that they are safe on the internet. Authpoint is also the only way of setting up multi-factor authentication security for the WatchGuard VPN Client. This alone gives a company security that noone can externally access the companies internal network without having the WatchGuard SSL Client with an active Authpoint user, which then sends a push notification that must be approved on a bobile device within Authpoint to gain external VPN access.
