Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."
"The solution offers high scalability as far as adding more users."
"The most important feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the multiple factor authentication."
"Our users find the interface very comfortable to use."
"It allows everyone to work from home. If no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19. It's mission-critical, especially since it's currently being used. If there is a problem with it, we would really be screwed. We would be hard-pressed because we would have to figure out what solution we're going to go with, how to deploy it, how long it would take to deploy it, and how we'd even get it on people's computers if we couldn't VPN to them. It would be near impossible to just change to a new VPN solution right now."
"The biggest advantage of Check Point Remote Access VPN is that we already use the Check Point firewall. We only needed to enable the feature and do the configuration in order to enable the VPN feature. We didn't need to buy or manage new hardware. This was a big advantage."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"The ability to change the way that the client works to a service so that we can get a little bit deeper into the operating system, as opposed to just an app running is the most valuable aspect. We also like the unattended sessions. Those are probably the two most important things to us. It's important because we can't do certain things when it is just an application running."
"The provisioning of VPN users has room for improvement."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt. For example, Windows 10 now has updates almost every couple of months. It changes the versioning and things under the hood. These are things that I don't understand, because I'm not a Windows person. However, I know that the Check Point client is installed on the Windows machine, and if the Check Point client's not kept up-to-date, then it's functionality breaks. It has to be up-to-date with the Windows versions. Check Point has to update the client more often. Now, the problem is that the Check Point client is not easy to update on remote computers and it's not easy to deploy a new client."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"The Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed."
"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."
"If they included some sort of monitoring system for managed services so we can have it all in one package, that would be helpful. There are managed services solutions that allow us to remote into the computers, but a lot of them have too much overhead. Usually, the remote connection is not as simple and as fast and cannot be run as a service."
