    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    We chose authpoint because we are already familiar with Watchguard and implementation was easy.

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    The ease of use AuthPoint offers is nearly unmatched, with all of the same (if not more!) security benefits.

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    Azure is much more complicated to setup. ManageEngine is an ok solution for smaller, single location networks.

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    AuthPoint was a clear choice when comparing these products. With a mixed OS environment, Cisco Duo did not seem to work well. Azure MFA does not work with MAC OS. Watchguard AuthPoint met what we needed.

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    WatchGuard's AuthPoint has been a breeze to implement and manage as compared to other vendor solutions and its third-party integrations put it in on a level beyond comparison.

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    WatchGuard AuthPoint has similar or more features than both Duo and Microsoft 365 Azure MFA. Its setup guides are much more fleshed out than Microsoft's and it is priced lower than both options. As long as your options for the 3 years licensing.

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    AuthPoint is far easier to manage and use than any other product I have used. Other products produce inconsistent results when put into practice and this frustrates our end users and clients. We find that the single pane of glass gives it a massive leg up on all its competitors.

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    AuthPoint was easier to evaluate and implement into our existing network. We had a tight deadline and was able configure test and deploy AuthPoint with minimal user interruptions. Okta has more features and other forms of authentication that we will reevaluate in the future, …

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    WatchGuard AuthPoint is an all round product and it works well with our cyber security stack, we went full WatchGuard for our cyber security remit. When we reviewed the others we struggled to get them working whether it was our side or the product but even the vendors product …

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    WatchGuard AuthPoint provides more authentication options the Microsoft Azure Multi Factor Authentication did, and with further ways to protect the multifactor tokens from being breached in the event that a phone or security device was left unlocked or unattended.

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    Besides the fact Microsoft's product has been discontinued, one of many WatchGuard AuthPoint pros is that it has the ability and flexibility to speak between protocols such as RADIUS, LDAP, SAML and this allows us to secure, not only login for Windows or AD, but each and every …

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    AuthPoint is generally more user-friendly and supports push notifications, which Google Authenticator does not. Microsoft MFA is a strong competitor because so many are using Office 365 nowadays, and it's free. Microsoft MFA can be a bit more complicated to set up. While that's …

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    Having the Multi-Factor Authentication developed by the same developer of the devices we use is very beneficial when we have to troubleshoot something. Support is great and is very responsive. Clients seem to prefer using their software over another vendor. The app is very …

    Chose WatchGuard AuthPoint
    Enabling MFA for Microsoft 365 online services is easy and straightforward however integrating it into an on-premise Active Directory to use for mobile VPN was quite the challenge compared to the reverse of setting up AuthPoint for both AD integration and M365 online services.
