"The secure hotspot access for enabling good network connectivity is great."
"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."

"The stability is very reliable in my experience."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"Without a doubt and with the new trends in technology, Check Point should already have a blade with a 2MFA solution and not through some other vendor."
"The Linux version may have an app (similar to Windows) instead of a shell script."
"Generally, the license is included with the Check Point gateway licensing, however, in terms of the number of users that can be activated for use, it is generally five users."
"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"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."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be more user-friendly."
"It is not scalable."
"Open VPN Access Server could be more user-friendly."
"The high availability deployment is not very straightforward. They can make it simpler. OpenVPN does not support some of the additional protocols that Pulse Secure and Cisco AnyConnect support. They can include support for these additional protocols."
"The server configuration file needs to be improved, it's the biggest problem in the configuration process."
"I would like to see continued advanced security implementation."
