"To maintain the authorization of the connected user, Check Point provides multi-factor authentication for an RA VPN client to make sure legitimate users have access to resources."

"It is highly scalable, speedy, and reliable."

"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."

"This is the best version we are using, however, if some changes can be made in the next release, I'd like to see adjustments to the time period and internet connectivity."
"Without a doubt and with the new trends in technology, Check Point should already have a blade with a 2MFA solution and not through some other vendor."

Currently, I am unable to see that from a user's point of view."
"Cisco IOS SSL VPN should improve its pricing."
"Sometimes the connection drops, and we don't like that. I'm not sure the reason, but sometimes it will take time to connect or it will disconnect fast."
