What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

There are a load of features and integrations which I like about AuthPoint, the best feature I like is the PC Login app to lock PCs down to use 2FA, as it is simple to setup and install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

The one thing that I dislike about AuthPoint is the fact you can not use Azure Active Directory to sync users and have to set up to Local Active Directory, meaning that this solution is not yet available for cloud only users.

However, after a support chat with Watchguard, I was informed that this is a requested feature which is being worked on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love it since the first beta"
5/5
What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

First of all, I like the built-in 'MSP' approach option, that allows even the smallest shop without any tech knowledge, to get it implemented.

Second - push notifications. I never liked typing TOTP passwords in the hurry, that they won't expire before I finish. AuthPoint Push notification takes that away, as users only have to press a confirm button - and in the end, it's even safer! TOTP doesn't tell you, that someone is just trying to log in to your device, while Push notifications will let you know it immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

What I dislike is more on the side of authentication providers like Google, Linkedin and others - they only offer integration with SAML for business accounts, forcing you into TOTP for your personal accounts. Since the AuthPoint mobile app supports even these TOTP tokens, you don't need any additional TOTP app on your mobile device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Logging into my computer is quicker with Authpoint than typing in my complex password. All I have to do is hit "Enter" on my keyboard and "Approve" on my phone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because I won't be using my password, I'll likely forget it. This is not really a dislike, more like an "undocumented feature". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
