WatchGuard AuthPoint Reviews & Product Details

We were already utilizing WatchGuard firewalls in our organization, so implementing AuthPoint for our remote (VPN) users was extremely simple. I was also impressed with the cost associated per user. The platform is also easily scalable as we have added more firewalls to our infrastructure and had multifactor authentication enabled within 15 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The instructions for setting up RADIUS authentication was a little confusing at first, but after I opened a support case with WatchGuard, they were able to remote into my environment and get the issue sorted out quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple for the users. Effective at doing what it should. Ultimately that's the real test of any system and this passes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The install was clunky. Following the website install procedure to the letter failed every time. When I finally got time with an engineer, he walked me through it with ease, but I shouldn't have had to wait 2 days to get on his call list. Update your install instructions and that all goes away.

Easily the variety of ways to authenticate, my personal favorite being push notifications. This alleviates the problem with having to type a six-digit code every time you wish to log in instead approve the login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside for me for Authpoint is not from a user perspective as I believe everything is great on a user side, but instead comes as a reseller purchasing it is a slow process and usually takes around 24 hours which seems a little behind the curve in this day and age.

The best feature of using authpoint multi-factor authentication is that it's built into the firewall. I don't have to be a third-party product to have MFA at my site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much I dislike about it except maybe the pricing per license, but even then, I still think it's a good deal. I think the one improvement I would like to see is the pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Authpoint brings Multi-Factor Authentication to the next level. Besides the traditional tokens that work offline, Autpoint also offers online tokens that add extra security to the system. Authpoint also monitors the devices where the tokes are stored, in order to detect attempts of cloning the whole device to a new device. Users can migrate the token on their own to new devices when needed. When the user initiates this process, then the token is practically deleted from the old device and reinitiates the initial process of token installation via email.

I'm not too fond of the fact that users can't change their password on their own and that they have to contact an admin to send them a new email to reset their password. Would also like to have the ability to set an expiration period for the passwords (e.g. 90 days) after which the users wouyld have to set a new password. It would also be great to have the ability to set the complexity requrements for these password to be complex and to be able to increase the requireed complexity.

We hear about hacks and network vulnerabilities every day in the news, and every business is a potential target. With Watchguard AuthPoint, I can rest assured that my home users can connect to my network in an easy and secure way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside to using Watchguard AuthPoint is that the documentation is written in a confusing way. I struggled at first and finally had to open a support ticket with Watchguard to complete the installation. Once it's installed, it's a piece of cake to administrate and roll out to our staff, but getting there was an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
