Overall Satisfaction with WatchGuard AuthPoint

Added multifactor to our VPN solution.

Pros

  • Provided MFA through Radius.

Cons

  • Documentation is out of date.
  • One trick pony - doesn't add value outside its purpose or replace other tools.
  • 12-hour outage with no explanations.
The left hand already bought it before the right hand could recommend a more feature rich product.
Still need a local service to support your on premises identity service.
Yup, supporting people's personal phones and crappy cell services has been real "fun."
"Why do you want to install software on my phone?"
