I love that AuthPoint was so easy to integrate into Active Directory. It allows us to lock down user accounts for workstations and servers without unnecessary maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Windows client likes to send unnecessary pushes, like when a user wakes up their computers by pushing enter. Sometimes the pushes do not come through in a timely manner, at least to Android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Authpoint is super easy to use and very secure, there is almost no wait time to get the push notification to work. We used it in our computers and VPN connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at the moment, maybe the lack of Exchange Online/OnPrem support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

nothing for now. everything work as expected Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it works across different platforms. I can use it with more than just WatchGuard, and it is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup process takes a little bit to set up. Once I was able to setup the system then it was a little easier to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to set up initially. Group sync made it easy to add ldap groups to the cloud easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slow push notifications. Issues with permissions randomly where push stops working on ios and android. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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 can't 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.

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.

Unfortunately Authpoint is not a free application to use. It requires a user to be set up 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 as 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.
