More AT&T VPN Cons →

"Sometimes, the mobile app crashes and stops responding.""Some configuration options inside the management console are a little confusing because the interface is not always user-friendly.""The product does not provide deep capabilities for sharing specific data to users or groups separately, nor does it provide visibility as to whether a user has access to the data or not.""From a user's perspective, of course, it is always better when it is cheaper in price.""We can say that this is a very good solution but Check Point has to reduce the cost.""For SandBlast Mobile, the only thing that is lacking is that it wasn't available for all types of users. However, Check Point has since fixed this, with ZoneAlarm.""I would like to see management and remote administration functions in the same portal.""While it's great, there's always room for improvement. Adding capabilities for automatic deployment in an enterprise environment would be useful."
