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 product is easy to connect."
"This solution is valuable because it's a stand alone system and doesn't disconnect, it functions well, it's a good software and good system, and I believe it's a better product than Cisco."
"The most valuable feature would be that you can actually narrow down your session to one application on one server, which is really nice."
"What I find most valuable is the total cost of ownership."
"It's a stand alone system that functions well."
"The setup is straightforward and hassle-free."
"After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN, the ease of doing work from anywhere has resolved our challenges."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless access."
"We can integrate remote access to our branches through Check Point services."
"Our VPN connects over 1,200 people with no issues."
"After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN, productivity has really improved because previously some users were unable to come to the office and were sitting idly at home without access to any resources in our private network."
"Setting policies allow, block, and limit users' access."
"The security and reliability we are receiving are exceptional."
 

Cons

"They are good, but sometimes it can take weeks to solve an issue."
"Reporting could be improved."
"Barracuda should find other ways to stir up interest about this product."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"Since it's not going to be getting any more software updates as per the end of this year, we have to move off to a different product.."
"The scalability needs improvement."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's current configuration has some limitations and issues. One major drawback is the inability to configure multiple gateways from the same management server for VPN access."
"With Check Point Remote Access VPN, performance issues occur; sometimes the connection speed can be slow, especially during peak hours."
"Compliance Check on Check Point should be improved by having more configurable conditions to support multi-platforms and adding more granularity."
"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt."
"We have noted some stability issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Barracuda SSL VPN is inexpensive."
"The product is affordable and reasonably priced so it would make a lot of sense for people to use it long-term."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"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."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"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."
"My company makes yearly payments only towards the licensing costs attached to Check Point Remote Access VPN, as there are no extra costs attached to the product."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
"The price of this product is good."
