We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Infrastructure VPN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The management of the solution is very simple. It allows for a single view of all the endpoints."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"The policies are easy to use."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"It allows everyone to work from home. If no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19. It's mission-critical, especially since it's currently being used. If there is a problem with it, we would really be screwed. We would be hard-pressed because we would have to figure out what solution we're going to go with, how to deploy it, how long it would take to deploy it, and how we'd even get it on people's computers if we couldn't VPN to them. It would be near impossible to just change to a new VPN solution right now."
"It can improve an organization by providing secure access to resources for traveling employees, which can help to reduce the risk of data breaches or other security incidents."
"The clients of the customers have a facility to access the enterprise network."
"It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is its performance. It is very fast."
"The most valuable feature is the networking. I didn't have a good experience with the networking that Sophos has."
"It is scalable and depends on your chosen network bandwidth."
"The side-to-side connections are valuable."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution in our company, and we monitor critical health and performance parameters daily and weekly."
"What I like best about Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is that it's a managed VPN, so it's one of the most powerful VPNs I've ever found. It also provides point-to-site VPNs configurable within a few minutes."
"It is easy to configure."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The connection has gotten less smooth as the number of users increases. The issue is that the logs fill up quickly. Too many users are connecting remotely. It worked great when we only had a few remote connections. Now, it is disconnecting people and dropping the internet connection."
"It would be good to have Remote Access VPN solutions for Check Point edge services."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"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 ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"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."
"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."
"Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection. For example, the IPS zero-day threat protection can monitor the user behavior to protect the infrastructure. The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features."
"The product must provide a single sign-on."
"Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where."
"Microsoft could work on having micro VPNs to integrate with mobile devices."
"It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly."
"Considering my past interactions with Microsoft's support team, it is difficult to get the right support unless you find the right person to speak with from the customer support team."
"Connectivity could be improved in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway because it's not as stable, particularly when connecting a device tunnel."
"In future releases, I would like to see the ability to inject BGP routes."
