"Organizations that already use the Check Point NGFW Solution do not require any additional hardware, which makes the implementation straightforward and reduces the time to go live."
"The tool is easy to configure and use. We integrated it with Active Directory to manage user authentication. It's intuitive and transparent, making it simple for users to use. It connects automatically to the VPN whenever users turn on the laptop. The product is efficient and offers centralized control."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"Setting policies allow, block, and limit users' access."
"Access is browser-based only and requires no additional client installation."
"The security of the solution is a good feature, the stability is a valuable feature, and the customization is also a nice feature."
"The clients of the customers have a facility to access the enterprise network."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it works all of the time."

"The solution has good performance. It is a simple tool to use, once I turn on Windows it automatically starts to use the VPN."
"What I like most about Cisco AnyConnect VPN is its reliability and stability."
"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is good for securing our connection. It is very easy to use, I click to use it and it works."
"Easy to deploy and has good NAC integration."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Generally, the license is included with the Check Point gateway licensing, however, in terms of the number of users that can be activated for use, it is generally five users."
"The main area for improvement is pricing. Another area could be integrating MFA authentication directly into the solution instead of using separate benchmark tools for implementation."
"There needs to be a way to create a VPN client specific to our environment so that we can easily lock down who can connect."
"I cannot see the full effect of the endpoint solution because it relies on having access to the DNF queries, which might not go through the Check Point firewall when you're using it for perimeter networks. Check Point will not identify the actual source of the net queries. This may be related to the architecture, however, and not poor product issues. I don't know if it can be improved on the Check Point side or not."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
"It would be good to have Remote Access VPN solutions for Check Point edge services."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP."
"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client could improve by adding faster connectivity."
"Whenever there's a drop in internet or a connection fluctuation, it gets disconnected automatically."
"The setup is a bit difficult to handle on the server-side."
"If there's any cloud version available, instead of on-premise, that would be ideal."
"The cost could always be a bit less."
"If you're just turning on your laptop, it should connect automatically without keying in the credentials."
"The solution could improve the setup, it is complex."
"One improvement could be ensuring better backward compatibility."
