Centralized device management has automated onboarding and improves remote security compliance
One thing I feel Microsoft Intune could improve is troubleshooting visibility. In many cases, when a policy or application deployment fails, the error messages are a bit generic. So, admins still spend time checking logs manually or testing on devices one by one. Compared to the simplicity of deployment, troubleshooting sometimes feels less mature. I also think reporting and real-time monitoring could be stronger. The dashboard gives useful information, but in large environments, many teams still depend on additional tools or scripts for deeper reporting and analytics. If I had to focus on one area first, I would probably choose troubleshooting and reporting. Deployment through Microsoft Intune is generally straightforward, but when something fails, identifying the exact root cause can still take more time than expected. Error messages are sometimes too generic, and admins often have to dig through logs, sync status, or multiple portals to understand what actually happened. I think user experience and policy management could also improve further. Microsoft Intune has become much better over the years, but sometimes the admin portal still feels fragmented because certain configurations open in different sections or redirect to older interfaces. For new admins, especially, it can take time to understand where everything is located. Another thing is policy conflict handling. In larger organizations, multiple device policies, compliance rules, and configuration profiles can overlap. When conflicts happen, the visibility is not always very clear, so admins spend time figuring out which policy actually won or caused the issue.

Technique at Digitaltrack
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.

Easy to deploy with great security and responsive support
The security on offer is the most valuable aspect of the solution. It offers, for example, two-factor authentification. The remote connection across platforms is great. You can deploy it on anything, including Windows, Mac, iOS, your iPhone, et cetera. It offers multi-platform utility. This makes it great for enterprise. Users can use it for PAM access as well. The feature of Devolutions that has improved our customer's efficiency the most is probably the security side. It's gotten a lot tighter. Authentication and secure connections are helpful. They use encryption between them, which is just standard for them. The company has so many regulatory controls that they must ensure their security is very tight. There's a lot of potential cybercrime around casinos, and this solution ensures they are well-protected. Devolutions is a great product that can be safely used between China, Australia, or the Philippines, and it remains a good, safe product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It works well if you have a Microsoft environment."
"Its overall integration into Microsoft 365 is great."
"On the cloud, you can manage everything; you can push policies, maintain patches, and maintain security because everything interacts on the cloud and a VPN is not required."
"We were able to deploy about 65 computers in under two weeks to a completely remote user base without touching any of the machines."
"Once it is well integrated with the rest of the environment, it makes everything easy."
"Its price is reasonable. It is a part of our M365 suite."
"It's easy to manage."
"Microsoft Intune is unique in providing management for all operating systems, including macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"The main purpose of the product is for firewall purposes that we are using, and the VPN provides secure access for remote connections."
"The security and reliability we are receiving are exceptional."
"Its complete ROI, as expected."
"The unified platform view is great."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted our organization by centralizing the VPN connections so that we only have one place to manage them, instead of multiple that we had before."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"The remote connection across platforms is great."
"It saves a lot of time for all of our IT staff from having to just use the RDP Windows client and reenter each server every time we access a different system."
"There is not a day that goes by that I do not use the tool."
"One credential can be used to access VPN, RDS, and more."
"The ability to have all the connection information in one location saves so much time from trying to manage the same information across different applications."
"Setup and installation was simple."
"Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment."
"Allows us to configure limited access to resources with the security-based role feature (which we use for trainees and new employees)."
 

Cons

"Support is another area that could improve, as sometimes response times can be slow, and resolving complex issues may take longer than expected."
"There could be some kind of feature that supports a workgroup environment or a separate environment without the Entra ID."
"It's only good for a Microsoft environment. While it works very well for Microsoft users but if you have other kinds of operating systems, it's very painful to use."
"Intune has no remote control function for mobile phones to solve issues remotely for users."
"Its configuration is fairly complicated. You have to do quite a bit of discovery to be able to deploy it for a customer."
"It should be easier to define policies and comply with those policies."
"Intune needs to incorporate more tools to reduce the number of third-party applications we rely on."
"I rate Microsoft support four out of 10. Support is one area where Microsoft needs to improve a lot. I recently raised a ticket for a Microsoft Azure issue, and it took two and a half weeks for support to reply. They need to improve support across their entire catalog of products."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"Sometimes we have some small problems with Check Point Remote Access VPN. For example, problems with authentication."
"Improvements for Check Point Remote Access VPN could include enhancing mobile connectivity for a smoother user experience."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be improved in that the initial setup and configuration could be simplified for new users."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"It would be good to have Remote Access VPN solutions for Check Point edge services."
"The main area for improvement is pricing. Another area could be integrating MFA authentication directly into the solution instead of using separate benchmark tools for implementation."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"The console is a little bit clunky."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a cost benefit of using Microsoft Intune because of the packaging with other Microsoft products."
"We spend a lot of money on Intune licensing, and some of our users have to be double licensed just because of how our dev and corporate environments are segmented."
"The product is relatively pricey, but considering its benefits, I'd say it's fair. The benefits outweigh the expensive licensing fees, especially for large organizations, but medium-sized and smaller businesses may be unable to afford it."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The E5 license is expensive."
"I would rate the price a four out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
"My team members bundled it together with their Microsoft solutions, including Microsoft 365 and related products."
"The cost is somewhat on the higher side, particularly when considering certain price points, especially in markets like India."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"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."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"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."
"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 Free Edition is completely free. You can try also the Enterprise Edition for 30 days for free."
"Setup costs for most people is negligible."
"If you are a Microsoft MVP, VMware vExpert, Cisco Champion, etc., Devolutions offers a free Enterprise License."
