We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and TeamViewer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"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."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client on different platforms."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We have more control over the activity that users have on the internal network, thanks to the monitoring offered by Check Point and the security provided by the gateway."
"The safety of online interactions when working with this product has enabled members to convene productive meetings without fear of being attacked."
"The secure hotspot access for enabling good network connectivity is great."
"Access is browser-based only and requires no additional client installation."
"TeamViewer is fast and easy to manipulate."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"The solution is scalable."
"This is a unique solution that is very easy to install."
"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."
"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."
"TeamViewer is useful for accessing data and systems remotely. Using this application, I can access other computers using an ID number that I provide to the users whose laptop I would like to access."
"The pilot feature is what stands out the most. I love the ability to use the pilot feature for remote inspections. The augmented portion of the software comes in handy when I have to assist my inspectors. They use the app in the field, and they show me what they're seeing through their phones."
"The client-side UI is fundamental, and there is nothing to see."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"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."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20 seconds."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."
"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."
"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt. For example, Windows 10 now has updates almost every couple of months. It changes the versioning and things under the hood. These are things that I don't understand, because I'm not a Windows person. However, I know that the Check Point client is installed on the Windows machine, and if the Check Point client's not kept up-to-date, then it's functionality breaks. It has to be up-to-date with the Windows versions. Check Point has to update the client more often. Now, the problem is that the Check Point client is not easy to update on remote computers and it's not easy to deploy a new client."
"The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better."
"I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult."
"A feature that they could add is chat with sound to talk."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
