We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Microsoft Intune based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the fact that Remote Access allows the administrator to control and manage things. It makes things smoother, and it has been an excellent experience."
"The security of the solution is a good feature, the stability is a valuable feature, and the customization is also a nice feature."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN provides strong security features, including encryption, authentication, endpoint security, access control, and centralized management."
"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless access."
"Among its most valuable features is how it quickly and easily connects everyone to the VPN service."
"The IPSec VPN, Mobile Access, and Identity Awareness are three of the blades with which we have been working with since the pandemic. This has given us great mobility, making our network more dynamic."
"The solution is easy to install, centrally managed, and stable, with good technical support and a straightforward setup."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to understand for those new to using it, and combined with the other Microsoft products it makes for an overall good package."
"I like how Microsoft Intune lets me lock down the email profile and make it accessible only on certain devices."
"It provides control over all mobile devices that are being connected to the corporate network."
"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."
"Intune device restriction policies enable me to enforce limitations on the device, like blocking the mobile camera or restricting the employees from using and inserting USB devices, including thumb drives and flash drives."
"We have found the solution is capable of scaling."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"There are so many features, but Windows Autopilot is one of the features that are very valuable for most customers."
"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"There were some issues with automation and instability."
"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."
"Improvements for Check Point Remote Access VPN could include enhancing mobile connectivity for a smoother user experience."
"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."
"In the case of URL translation of the VPN Web portal, the requests made from the front end to the back end weren't valid (due to the use of dynamic subdomains). In the case of host translations, the request was made to the same host, however, we cannot specify the ports, which, in our case, are used to redirect to different servers."
"We are very happy with the Windows client. You log in with the VPN for the full client, you do the log in there. But for Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. It is important because we have some users that use Linux and they don't have a specific application from Check Point to use. That is something that could be improved."
"The reporting could be improved, as it's pretty poor compared to other products of this type."
"We only have major classifications for iOS and Android, but there are different brands that have different cycles of updates. If they can fine-tune it to make it more brand-specific, that would be even better."
"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."
"Intune doesn't provide much control over Windows servers. It's something we struggle with."
"Microsoft needs to enhance device-level security, as sometimes when using Microsoft Intune, the device's operating system becomes stuck and requires a full uninstall to remove the Intune bug."
"No option to do end-to-en macOS management. Slow implementation of policies."
"It needs incorporation of Knox, ZeroTouch, etc."
"I would like to see easier pushdowns. Currently, we have to package our own software and then push it. Intune can make that way easier and integrate applications, such as Zoom and Adobe Acrobat, that are used by a lot of enterprise or corporate organizations."
