A stable and scalable solution for VPN dial-up with easy setup

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution as a VPN dial-up. That's all. We are working from home or anywhere else from the office. We connect using the VPN.

What needs improvement?

The scanning part is one of the key features that Cisco should provide. Secondly, FortiClient has more features than Cisco. FortiClient allows you to connect their VPN over any machine. We can change the FortiGate firewall, but we need a separate license in Cisco.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Cisco IOS SSL VPN for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

You have to purchase SSL for every VPN license from the vendor side. Everything depends upon the licensing.

3000 people are using this solution. There is a hybrid model in my company. Most of the employees work from home, or company or country. They are connected over the SSL VPN.

I rate the solution’s scalability a ten out of ten.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have also worked with the FortiClient. FortiClient is much more versatile, easy to configure, and is more functional.

How was the initial setup?

The solution setup is easy for everyone. We must run the platform and upload the configuration file to every agent installed on the system. Every agent is easier to proceed.

What other advice do I have?

When I was in Pakistan, my company used Cisco products and the firewall. The ransomware came into our environment and breached the Cisco firewall. It passed along the Cisco firewall and then ran CMC connections. With respect to reliability, I rate it around seven.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Pros and Cons
  • "The product's initial setup phase was easy."
  • "Check Point Remote Access VPN handles up to a hundred megabytes for clients, but I want it to be able to handle up to one gigabyte."

What is our primary use case?

When it comes to Check Point Remote Access VPN, my company is still in the testing phase and will be due for a rollout with our client, who has wanted a VPN connection since last summer.

What is most valuable?

If I compare the solution with some of the other products my company has used in the past, I can definitely see that it has some valuable features that allow me to see the traffic and what a client does. With the tool, I cannot only see a session but also the resources our company's clients are connected to since I can do so with the help of firewall logs. I like the overall visibility of the product.

The thing I like about Check Point Remote Access VPN stems from the fact that it terminates at the firewall wherever the client is going, and it works in an unencrypted manner, which allows me to see where the traffic is going. I can gain access to the clients' networks with NetScaler and with the aid of a packet sniffer.

What needs improvement?

Check Point Remote Access VPN handles up to a hundred megabytes for clients, but I want it to be able to handle up to one gigabyte.

For improvements in the product, I can create a wishlist since it is a VPN technology. I would love to see what is available on the VPN connections, but it is important for our company to check the encryption part of it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Check Point Remote Access VPN for a couple of years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The firewall part of the tool has been running for a while now without the need for any reboot. I don't have any stability-related issues with the product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

When it comes to VPN products, our company talks about putting them on another internet gateway, which seems to be an easy process. Using the scalability feature of the product seems to be a painless process, in my opinion.

How are customer service and support?

I have contacted the technical support for the solution. The solution's technical support responds immediately. The quality of the solution's technical support is good. If a member of the technical support team doesn't have the answer to my queries, then they ensure that someone else who has the knowledge responds to my issues.

I rate the support team a ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have experience with Citrix NetScaler since it is the only product that I have used as a remote access VPN tool.

I feel Check Point Remote Access VPN is better than Citrix NetScaler.

How was the initial setup?

The product's initial setup phase was easy. I haven't had any formal training, but I have learned everything related to the tool.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

What about the implementation team?

A team in my company takes care of the deployment phase.

What other advice do I have?

The reason I started to use Check Point Remote Access VPN is because it is preferred by the organization where I currently work.

The solution needs maintenance. There is a need to update the policy rules and ensure that the firmware is kept up-to-date.

I request the potential users of the product to invest time in going through the knowledge-based articles since they have a plethora of information.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.
