"Authpoint brings Multi-Factor Authentication to the next level"

5/5

What do you like best about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

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.

What do you dislike about WatchGuard AuthPoint?

Would like to have the ability to set an expiration period for the passwords (e.g. 90 days) after which the users would have to set a new password. It would also be great to have the ability to set the complexity requirements for these password to be complex and to be able to increase the required complexity.

Recommendations to others considering WatchGuard AuthPoint:

Authpoint MFA is the best solution we could find out there. They can still improve some things, but the product is still young and will grow to be better. Given time it will become an excellent solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WatchGuard AuthPoint solving and how is that benefiting you?

We mainly use Authpoint MFA to allow remote users to connect to our internal network, using the Watchguard SSL VPN clients. The use of Authpoint MFA and its increased security has allowed us to provide access to most of the company resources to remote users, compared to our old solution, where we had to restrict access to VPN users to the essential resources! So especially in these trying times of the pandemic, Authpoint MFA made the whole concept of working from home possible! With our old solution, we would have to take a significant risk and expose sensitive resources, with being able to protect them adequately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
