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."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"This solution is widely adopted and involves both technology and non-technical devices. It is robust, except in cases of significant power outages."
"The authentication features are valuable."
"Aruba works well in large spaces, especially for manufacturing. That's when you start seeing the effectiveness of Aruba."
"Once configured and operational, they tend to function reliably, with few reported issues from clients or customers."
"The product is very flexible. So far the stability of the solution has been good."
"Aruba Remote Access Points provide a level of protection for our IPs."
"I can use the solution from my home or any remote office to access printers, servers, etc."
"The platform has the most valuable advanced filtering feature."
"The IPSec VPN, Mobile Access, and Identity Awareness are three of the blades with which we have been working with since the pandemic. This has given us great mobility, making our network more dynamic."
"Setup using the manuals was easy."
"The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"Our number of users working remotely vastly increased during the COVID 19 pandemic. Check Point Remote Access VPN allowed us to quickly make the transition from in-office to remote work."
"A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"The solution is costly for medium-sized companies."
"The remote access point coverage should be bigger than it is now."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing. If they can be more competitive."
"It would help if the remote APs had some kind of SoHo environment with built-in firewall features. That way it could connect directly in a client-to-site type of environment, or a site-to-site VPN environment. That way users could have a complete office setup without coming to the private cloud."
"The solution's technical support has some shortcomings that need improvement."
"There are some issues, like the VLAN capabilities and support for routing between two VMs."
"The product needs an increased level of security for the end user."
"I use the controller when using Aruba Remote Access Points, particularly during configuration. Hence, room for improvement in Aruba Remote Access Points is for its web UI to be easier to control."
"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."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"In the case of URL translation of the VPN Web portal, the requests made from the front end to the back end weren't valid (due to the use of dynamic subdomains). In the case of host translations, the request was made to the same host, however, we cannot specify the ports, which, in our case, are used to redirect to different servers."
"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."
"Improved scalability would allow the solution to handle larger numbers of users and devices without a significant impact on performance."
"The ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP."
