Check Point Remote Access VPN Reviews

The remote VPN enables us to connect our devices under a controlled network infrastructure. It protects the channels for transferring data and confidential information. 

It connects our managers with remote employees to enhance efficiency in the implementation of projects and tasks. Check Point Remote Access VPN blocks unauthorized access to our computing devices. 

It is easy to install and use this VPN for any new user. It keeps all the teams under the same collaboration and networking channel safe. Information encryption secures end-to-end conversation among teams.

I have experienced the most benefits while using this product in the organization. 

It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues. 

When working on joint projects and tasks this product prevents external cyber attacks from attacking our privacy. 

Teams operating from remote areas can customize the location features and set suitable IP addresses that serve them well. 

The speed and reliability enable us to achieve the set targets and initiate trade-offs.

It has a simple user interface that is easy to operate and set up. 

The customer support staff provides 24/7 customer support services that enhance effective service delivery. 

The premium version provides the most advanced services that are always effective. 

The cost of maintenance and privacy policies suits our daily demands. 

It is compatible with most devices and can easily integrate with most applications in the organization. 

There is no apparent IP leak and it connects firmly without disconnecting.

This version has comprehensive features that provide reliable services based on the organization's requirements. 

Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows. 

Most modern VPNs offer more features that are more powerful as compared to the ones set up in this system. 

The focus of the next release should be on the compatibility and speed of this platform so that it can easily compete with other products.

It should be customized to accept more languages and more locations.

I've used the solution for 14 months.

The operations and stability have been firm and reliable.

This is great and scalable product.

The customer support staff offers great services.

I have not worked with different solutions.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The implementation took place through the vendor.

There is increased ROI from its reliable performance.

It is cost-effective.

I have only had experience with this VPN.

The performance has been good and I recommend it to other business enterprises.

This functionality is very practical to be able to connect to the business network from anywhere; the monitoring that can be provided and the granularity in the VPN to provide control to users is really good.

It offers excellent performance to be able to connect our users to business applications outside the company perimeter.           

It is easy to use and has an easy-to-use connectivity agent, and can be integrated with MFA to provide an additional layer.

In these times when the priority is telecommuting or working from home, it is essential to provide accessibility to the company safely. Through Check Point it was possible to provide this essential comfort to users who work in this modern format.

One of the features that draws a lot of attention is the integration of the remote VPN application in our Check Point gateway and management server, where it is easy to use.

The granular control and access under the Check Point policies made applying a zero trust policy much easier, providing greater security.

The integration with MFA through a configuration and integration with Azure is quite good, providing security to the user's identity. It is a very important feature where everything is tried to shield against modern vulnerabilities.

The license is included with gw licensing, however, in terms of the number of users that can be activated for use.                                                                                       

In our case, we quote additional licensing and it is quite expensive for remote VPN, other manufacturers are not so expensive.

The support provided is slow, in addition to the fact that the service hours are contrary to ours, which generates slower problem solving, I think it is important to improve this area.

This is a not-so-new tool that can be used in our gateways and management products. We have used these VPNs since we started using our environments with this manufacturer.

On a personal level, I had previously used Cisco and Azure VPN, among others, however, the control generated with Check Point is not the same. It is much better.

It is essential to validate how many remote VPNs are required, check costs, and see if they are within the scope of the company.

We validated the scope against other manufacturers and were satisfied with the security features provided by Check Point.

On a technical level, the tool is very good, and safe, in addition to providing a lot of control.

The Remote Access VPN provides security to all computing devices across the organization. I can securely log in from a remote area and access the organization's data without physical appearance. 

It is easy to collaborate with colleagues in the same networking area from different locations. 

When interacting with our customers, I can easily change my IP address to correspond with a client's. 

This platform has saved the company a lot of resources that are being used to set up remote offices. 

This application provides total data security across the enterprise networking infrastructure. Remote interactions with my colleagues are encrypted to enhance safety and prevent threats. 

The organization of virtual events is always secure due to efficient security measures deployed in the organization. 

A powerful VPN has lowered the cost of team engagements and interactions in the field. 

The safety of online interactions when working with this product has enabled members to convene productive meetings without fear of being attacked.

The set of security features that prevent data leakages has saved resources. 

The customer support team responds faster when contacted to provide solutions for technical failures. 

The application does not affect the storage and functionalities of the operating system. 

The UI enables new users to understand the working criteria of the features easily. 

The performance of this tool does not affect the performance of other applications when deployed on mobile or desktop devices. 

All the set features have a great impact on protection from data leakages and have saved our organization from threats.

Sometimes it may mislead the user based on the requested location due to poor networking. 

Most features have capable performance that responds quickly to user requests. 

The cost of maintenance is high compared to most products in the market. 

Integrations with some applications are difficult due to poor compatibility tools. The development team should focus more on updates and integration features. 

I am impressed by the current performance despite the few challenges. The overall performance has been excellent, and I recommend it to others 

I've used the solution for six months.

The product performance is efficient.

The performance is excellent.

The customer support staff is reliable.

Positive

I have no experience with any similar solution.

The setup was straightforward.

Implementation was handled in-house.

We have gained positive ROI since we deployed it.

The setup process is not complex.

I evaluated other VPNs, however, in those cases, the performance was not stable.

This is the best VPN I have worked with so far.

I like the fact that Remote Access allows the administrator to control and manage things. It makes things smoother, and it has been an excellent experience. 

We started with 50 users, but our numbers are increasing. Now it's difficult for us to maintain a steady internet connection and remote access, so we want to upgrade. We are considering a switch to FortiGate. I think they may have better service than Check Point offers. 

Scalability is where we're having problems now. Generally, Check Point has been working fine, but we need something that can accommodate many users and provide a steadier internet connection. Our remote users need to access the VPN without any issues. Of course, this could also have something to do with our internet connection at the organization.

We've been using Check Point to manage sites we need to block. It gives us the option to totally disable things, but it does not let the administrator create exceptions to allow specific users to access certain websites. Check Point could enable the administrator to permit users to access particular sites. I think the VPN we're using may have exceeded its lifespan. For example, if you check Instagram on Check Point, you might not even see it showing up, and it's difficult to restrict access to specific applications. 

We started using Remote Access VPN sometime in the past five years.

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 fills the logs and cuts off our connection when it gets full. It stops working. It's time-consuming to reset the device and reload the backups. It takes us about two hours because we would need to reconfigure those routes and integrate them with the IP addresses we have set up.

The setup was straightforward. Everything was populated on Check Point, so it was easy to select what we wouldn't allow. We deployed on-premise because we have the space and infrastructure to support it. 

The deployment didn't take long. Two IT people are responsible for the deployment and maintenance. The online documentation will walk you through the process. When you do a manual reset by pressing the button, it guides you through the setup process. You only need to follow the steps. 

After that, we import our backup file, and it populates. Next, we run the updates and check we forgot to configure anything else. Some backups are older and might not align with what we have running on the ground. 

I haven't seen an ROI.

The cost varies. I believe the price ranges roughly from about 3000 to 4,000 ZWD. I don't think it gets any lower than that. The initial cost is high because you need to buy the hardware, and you incur some setup costs, but the expense drops in the long run.

So far, I have not tried any other solutions. I'm doing the research now. I'm still shopping around, trying to understand what's on the market before deciding.

I rate Check Point Remote Access VPN eight out of 10. Aside from our current performance issues, it was smooth and flawless. I'm still shopping around. I was content with Check Point, but I want to see what's out there. I'm interested in knowing more about other available solutions. My primary goal is to avoid going through this process again two years from now. I'm hoping the next product will be a long-term solution, and it will be a while before we consider upgrading to something different.

We came to need a solution that would allow us to connect quickly and easily from our homes or from anywhere, and it was at this point that we integrated and enabled the Check Point Remote Access VPN. With it, our employees could log in from anywhere at any time. 

This solution allowed them to have the same experience that they had in the office, and they could access all the resources that were necessary for their work. 

This solution helped us mainly with the shift to remote work. Before the pandemic, everyone worked from the office. Today, more employees have become digital nomads. 

In terms of infrastructure, we can say that we have benefited since employees are happier being able to work from home. They make better use of their time and have become more productive. 

In the case of the organization, the impact is in being able to have to rent fewer square meters. This helps with annual returns since those operating costs have been reduced.

Everyone has told me that it is simple and easy to use. 

One of the most outstanding features is the ability to deliver third-party services and achieve double authenticity with integrated identities. We have SSO (Single Sign-On). It is a 'unified' or 'single authentication' which can be integrated to improve security in startup services. This is an advantage due to the fact that you can use the integrated services or the third-party services that you already have, and you will not incur more costs. 

I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties. 

Although it is complex to configure, I cannot complain that it is complete and it is worth being able to use and integrate it. However, any administrator would welcome any changes that made configuration simpler. 

We would like the ability to perform remote access with the VPN in the future with any type of device. Lately, Android applications tend to have more errors. I hope that this will be solved in the future. 

I've used the solution for one year.

The solution is primarily used for secure access for remote users. It's deployed as a SaaS over the cloud. 

The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera.

If you are new to deploying the solution, the initial setup might be difficult the first time around. I had trouble setting the policies and then resetting the device. 

I joined my company eight or nine months ago and have been dealing with the solution since then.

I don't have much information on the stability aspect of the product. I haven't spoken to customers about their experience. 

I haven't discussed scalability with customers to get their take on how easy it is. 

We haven't referred to the technical support of Check Point just yet. We did have a replacement engineer assist us in deployment, and they handled it quite well. 

Positive

There was complexity in the initial setup. With one client, once we installed it and then tried to set the policies, the firewall was not responding very well. I was doing it for the first time, so we were unable to do it. The customer was not pleased with that, so we had to send another engineer to deploy that device. That's not to say it's overly hard - it was just my first attempt at an installation.

We had three engineers handling the initial setup. We deployed it over two days. 

I'm hoping that the next time I'm deploying it, it should be done perfectly, without any support from any other engineer.

We do the implementation for our clients. 

I'm not aware of the exact licensing costs associated with the product. 

We are in the business of selling firewalls. We're resellers and Check Point partners. 

I personally have sold just the Check Point solution to only one customer. We are also selling data storage solutions, data backup, and cyber security solutions.

We are dealing with the latest version of the solution.

The solution is available both on-premises and in the cloud. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. I'd recommend it to other users and companies. 

Check Point Remote Access VPN is used to allow our employees to use the corporate resources or remote access to the corporation and lightweight on resources.
