"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client on different platforms."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"One of the features that I like most about this software is that it has a very intuitive, simple, and versatile interface that makes it easy to use and configure."
"It can improve an organization by providing secure access to resources for traveling employees, which can help to reduce the risk of data breaches or other security incidents."
"The secure hotspot access for enabling good network connectivity is great."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"it gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues."
"I do love the monitoring page. If you are using ConnectWise Control, which is the on-prem version, when you are logged into the admin panel, there is a status page that checks network connectivity, the status of the license, and so on."
"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."
"ConnectWise Connect is very convenient as we can remote to a PC even when it is not within our LAN."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"When you need to create something, you have to follow many steps and I think that should be simplified."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP."
"We encounter challenges for the product’s installation and troubleshooting processes compared to other VPN products."
"There was complexity in the initial setup."
"They could add more features, like the security to block off the doors, or create another hatch, something like this. They could make the features safer, add malware to make my mail and the Kryon system safer and to protect data at an earlier stage."
"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"For my company, just installing the software and using it is very easy. But if I need to give one of my customers access to their machines, the process that you have to go through is some 15 to 20 steps. You have to create a group, and then you have to assign a policy. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up someone for remote access to their own machine."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."
"Mobile interface."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
