"Not a mature product, but ok for some scenarios"
What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

The end-user enrollment process is easy and intuitive and the direct authentication integration for VPN's running on Watchguard Firewalls is nice. It's a decent product for securing VPNs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

The Windows Logon application is too much of a black-box with no real logging or information about what's going on.

The RDS Gateway and Connection Broker roles do not have any actual integration, so utilizing RDS gateway means installing the logon app on each session host you want to protect and locking down your CAP and RAP policies. The Logon application can't properly determine the source address of multiple sessions so any network-based policies do not work reliably - support confirmed that this is a known issue in development.

We experienced multiple instances where the logon application just plain failed. There is no logging from the logon application, just the gateway service which the logon application could not contact. I had 40+ users unable to connect to an RDS environment and support didn't have a real answer as to why it failed. The first time it happened they asked me to uninstall and reinstall the service.

I low confidence in the reliability of the logon application at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I'm so tired to this tool, and regretful to bought this..... PLEASE DON'T BUY AUTHPOINT!!"
What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

App support other types of tokens, like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator

It's possible to sincronize other fisical tokens to aprove access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

When Authpoint does not synchronize my AD Groups because my Active Directory is huge (over 20.000 objects).

When Authpoint does not send e-mail to activate token for my users and need to send manually.

Have a lot delay in sending push notifications to approve access.

Logon App does not work with hardening applied on my network computers.

Authpoint doesn't support SMS to send tokens, and doesn't support other SMS providers.

By the way... this tool is trash, in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to install and run 2FA add on"
What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

Simple to use and walk end users through, install and setup was simple and WG support was more than happy to work with me and set up the first time I worked on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

Sometimes, (after server maintenance, updates, and reboots especially) the associated services on the LDAP server don't start, causing connection issues,. The fix is simple enough but if you don't know about rebooting the service it can leave you scratching your head for a minute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
