Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."
"It is stable most of the time."
"The safety of online interactions when working with this product has enabled members to convene productive meetings without fear of being attacked."
"To maintain the authorization of the connected user, Check Point provides multi-factor authentication for an RA VPN client to make sure legitimate users have access to resources."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless access."
"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"The ability to block and erase remote devices is valuable to us, especially when those devices are lost."
"The ability to manage devices with different sets of policies is most valuable."
"The reporting and analytics features in Microsoft Intune have been a lifesaver."
"We use a local Active Directory, but we weren't able to manage all our on-site systems without a solution like Intune, and we needed to deploy software like VPNs and other things. It's seamless now to to this through Intune."
"I like the fact that it's integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products, so customers can manage it from their Office 365 portal or Azure portal."
"It's very informative when there is an error. It allows us to backtrace where the error is and resolve that ourselves. It's a bit of a Swiss Army penknife. We find that it fixes most issues."
"One of the main features of the solution is it allows the management of many devices in different ways."
"I would say the biggest benefit is the single-pane view. There's no jumping around multiple UI's to do your overall management."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's connectivity and establishment takes time and needs to be faster."
"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."
"We have noted some stability issues."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"This is the best version we are using, however, if some changes can be made in the next release, I'd like to see adjustments to the time period and internet connectivity."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"The ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"The UI also needs improvements because it is complex for end-users. We have had feedback from a few users in our organization who found the UI is not feasible for tracking and analyzing all the processes and monitoring all the devices."
"Additional application deployment options e.g. MSI deployment with more complex parameters or additional side-by-side files, and non-MSI deployment options."
"We would like to see support for Chrome and/or devices for Chromebooks."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"Lacking in features such as Wi-Fi and network security."
"In terms of what can be improved, I am looking for better enhancements regarding Apple management, not only on the mobile device, but also on the laptop."
"The documentation about the custom image setup could be better. Although Microsoft provides the steps to configure Intune or set up or deploy Intune, it doesn't have much information related to custom images. If you ask, "how can we deploy the custom image?" There is no information. The steps they mention ask you to connect to your on-premises environment or create your own image on the cloud itself once there is connectivity. But I needed to go to multiple websites to get all this information. I had to figure out how to upload the custom image if you want to use the on-premise custom image for Cloud PC. If you have the proper subscription, you must have the right access, like global admin or owner. Then you can add your custom image to that. There are no steps mentioned over there. Microsoft Intune doesn't have Chrome browser support. I would like to have that support because they will want it if we pitch the product to clients."
"Microsoft Intune fails a lot when it comes to device compliance."
