## Reviews

### "Great MFA and SSO authentication solutions" — 5.0/5

> **Michael** | *28 July 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy and secure access to management through Watchguard Cloud.&#10;Documentation for integration with products is available on Watchguard website.&#10;The AuthPoint app for the mobile device (Android and Mac) is secure and easy to use.&#10;The SSO portal for applications is easy to configure and very convenient for end-users.
> 
> **Cons**: The rare outages of the service which delays or prevents logins.&#10;AuthPoint app will not allow me to sort tokens or filter / search for tokens which is a burden when users have dozens on tokens.
> 
> I am very satisfied with WatchGuard AuthPoint. I find setup and management of the AuthPoint solution fairly easy and well documented. Watchguard support is excellent for the solution. Diagnosing issue with logins is easy thanks to the audit logs.

### "one year utilizing Authpoint MFA on new phone." — 5.0/5

> **Christian** | *07 August 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease to add the tokens to the app and labeling them. Also, being able to back up to the cloud is extremely convenient.
> 
> **Cons**: The lag when getting a token to prompt. Another con is that not all token can be added to the same app.
> 
> Out of all of the MFA apps Authpoint is the best and easiest. Being able to log on with a QR Code when machine is offline is a huge plus.

-----

### "It didn't work for long" — 1.0/5

> **Bert** | *13 August 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Not much.  It worked for a while but suddenly stopped allowing me to have access and returns to the login screeen
> 
> **Cons**: It stopped working for no reason and I can no longer access our VPN
> 
> It started out OK, but now it does not work.

### "Auth point Feedback\_MFA" — 5.0/5

> **Ranjan** | *03 March 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Strong MFA activities, Fully Cloud management and quick support available from watchguard
> 
> **Cons**: Only depend on mobile device instead of email security, AI tools to configure \&amp; troubleshooting, Complicate while configure the authpoint
> 
> It's good enough while using in the data security platform. I have been using the Auth point for 5 years and it's good to use. It would better if there are any AI features involved in the watchguard cloud portal

### "Authpoint a wonderful mfa solution" — 5.0/5

> **Timothy** | *06 November 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Mfa solution that can fit different products usage
> 
> **Cons**: At times, the notification doesn’t appear. Have to press the check for notification in the app for the prompt.&#10;Migration from phone to phone requires assistance by MSP
> 
> Push notification is slightly inconsistent. The other mfa mediums are consistent.
