Very user friendly but configurations can be a bit complex
We use the solution to access company information via the cloud.  The solution is very user friendly.  Configurations can be a bit complex.  I have been using the solution for two years.  The solution is stable.  Technical support is very helpful so I rate them a seven out of ten.  Neutral…

Has improved security and enabled remote work flexibility across teams
The best features Check Point Remote Access VPN offers are its security features, which stand out to me. Whenever we are giving the remote access VPN to any employees or vendors, we can specify and control particular access. If we want to give access to a particular IP only, we can achieve that via this feature, and we also apply security features such as antivirus and anti-spyware while giving access to any employees or partners. The ability to control and specify access with Check Point Remote Access VPN, such as limiting to particular IPs or applying antivirus and anti-spyware, makes our environment safe from cyber threats and any types of malicious activities or accessing our private data. We control this through the feature by applying security policies that allow particular users. After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN solution, I can say that our productivity has maximized. Users are working from home and even working 24/7. If they want, they can access our resources at any time, providing flexibility to work from anywhere. Employees say that sometimes they are not available during the working hour, but they can work from home at their flexible timing, needing access to our private network resources. They sit at home or any remote site and connect to our network to work, which is very good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very user friendly."
"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."
"A clear example of the positive impact this license has had in my organization was back in 2020, as the software was in use since before the pandemic hit so our personnel was familiarized with the product and the transition was smooth and secure from the office to work from home."
"The safety of online interactions when working with this product has enabled members to convene productive meetings without fear of being attacked."
"This solution allows users to connect from any location, is very flexible, lets us easily control access and view usage statistics, and we are happy with the overall stability, easy configuration on the gateway side, and ease of deploying clients to endstations."
"Our VPN connects over 1,200 people with no issues."
"Overall, I rate Check Point Remote Access VPN a nine."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It allows everyone to work from home, and if no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19."
 

Cons

"Configurations can be a bit complex."
"Improvements for Check Point Remote Access VPN could include enhancing mobile connectivity for a smoother user experience."
"The support hours don't align with work hours, and AI could be introduced."
"Sometimes it will be disconnected, but it's a good solution."
"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"When you need to create something, you have to follow many steps and I think that should be simplified."
"The solution isn't really stable."
"My overall experience with customer support is not great; our typical first level of support that we receive is lackluster, usually involving someone that doesn't really understand our issue, and it takes multiple days to get the issue escalated to someone that can actually help."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"My understanding is that the pricing and licensing are very competitive, and it's not one of their more expensive products. We buy licenses for the solution and have licenses for the endpoint servers."
"Regarding pricing, as a global customer, we get a big discount. For us, it's a good return on investment. We need to pay for additional features we want to enable. It seems cheaper than other vendors, but I can't say what it would cost an average customer."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing a ten out of ten. For the cost of one product, we could purchase two or three Fortinet solutions with the same amount of money."
