Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Reliable remote access boosts productivity and connectivity for home-based users
In my opinion, the best feature that Check Point Remote Access VPN offers is its reliability, as there has been no downtime till now. The reliability of Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my daily operations by reducing my support tickets, particularly when users face connection issues due to ISP downtimes. Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization by providing users access to the internal network, allowing us to capture all activities through our network. The visibility offered by Check Point Remote Access VPN has benefited my organization as it detects unauthorized access attempts, immediately alerting me via a pop-up for any threat protection issues.

Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution
The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like most about the tool is that it's now very easy to set up a device for someone to use. It also helps us tremendously in managing security. Before, we used on-premise management with a domain controller. It was difficult to manage security comprehensively. For example, it was hard to know which computers were updated. We weren't able to do that easily with our previous solution."
"The thing I appreciate most about Microsoft Intune is that the management of the devices was very simplified. We have all machines connected to it at all times, whether they are in the office or working from home."
"I appreciate how easy it is to deploy certificates to end users to get control over their device with Microsoft Intune; that's what Microsoft Intune is known for, and that's what we use them for."
"Overall, I would rate Microsoft Intune as eight out of ten."
"Microsoft integrated BitLocker and Active Directory into Intune, simplifying management."
"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."
"Intune has significantly benefited our organization by providing comprehensive visibility into our device ecosystem."
"I believe that the solution is actually in Gartner's top quadrant at the moment for mobile device management."
"The tool is easy to configure and use. We integrated it with Active Directory to manage user authentication. It's intuitive and transparent, making it simple for users to use. It connects automatically to the VPN whenever users turn on the laptop. The product is efficient and offers centralized control."
"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."
"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 keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."
"This platform has developed a reliable communication infrastructure that employees can use to communicate with remote workers."
"A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."
"The advanced malware protection and the sandboxing features are very valuable as they perform well, with detection being very high."
"The management of the solution is very simple. It allows for a single view of all the endpoints."
"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."
"The technical support is good."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"The installation is almost instant."
"The solution is very quick to set up."
 

Cons

"When somebody has a customized application or their own company's application, we cannot deploy that application."
"There is room for improvement in the remediation and detection modules, which are currently about eighty percent fully functional."
"Intune has some limitations when it comes to application updates for third-party applications. You can schedule an update, but when it's a package setup, you need to supercede and replace it each time."
"The reporting is subpar. That's the only issue we have with Intune. We use another solution for that purpose."
"Could benefit from user having more control over devices."
"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"They need to add more group policies. Intune currently does not have many group policies that you can deploy. Its reporting, which is very limited at the moment, also needs improvement. It will be great if they can add report customization. Its stability needs to be improved. Sometimes, when you register a device in Intune, it doesn't show up instantly on the engine portal on the admin side. They need to provide better support for complicated issues. They also have a long turnaround time."
"We haven't really gone through all the features of Intune. We are just discovering them. Every day, we see a new feature that we want to apply, but what will be great for Intune is to be able to deploy apps in a simple fashion. We should be able to easily install various apps on the Windows platform, iOS, and Android. Currently, we have to write some scripts. It's not as straightforward as we would like it to be. It should be simplified so that we can do it just with three clicks—next, next, finish—without needing to write a script."
"The Compliance software blade is available only for the Windows operating systems family, so no macOS security checks are implemented and performed."
"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."
"An improvement I wish to see in Check Point Remote Access VPN is an automatic ISP translation feature, as users need to manually input a server IP address that can be cumbersome."
"The cost of maintenance is high compared to most products in the market."
"We encounter challenges for the product’s installation and troubleshooting processes compared to other VPN products."
"The provisioning of VPN users has room for improvement."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Intune and the competitor products are all within the same range, there is no true advantage when it comes to cost."
"It's reasonable. They're not giving it away, but it's reasonable."
"The overall pricing of Microsoft Intune is good for companies that have big IT budgets, 3,000 or more users and devices."
"I rate Intune an eight out of ten for affordability. It's bundled with the 365 licensing, which is competitive overall."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The licensing costs we leave up to the customer and these vary from one to another."
"Intune is linked with Microsoft. We can deploy the Microsoft E365 license to users by Intune. There are different types of licenses, such as device administrator licenses, E5 licenses for device enrollment manually, and P1 and p2 licenses for device enrollment automatically. These are the licenses required for the administration."
"It is reasonable. When you have Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license, it is already licensed in that license. So, you could say it is free."
"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."
"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"The price of this product is good."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"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."
"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."
"We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."
"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
