Remote access has transformed my hybrid work and now provides secure, fast connections anywhere
The best feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the easy connectivity. I just have to enter the gateway and the username and password, then click on connect and it will be connected to my organization network. The process is very straightforward and the remote control is outstanding with great connectivity. The remote control feature makes my work easier because there is no latency I am experiencing while accessing from a remote site. I mainly access two to three servers at a time, and I have not seen any lag or latency through Check Point Remote Access VPN. That is outstanding about Check Point Remote Access VPN solution. Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization because productivity has increased.

Needs to be easier to configure and to display logs more simply
We use only it for scanning files for viruses. That's the only feature we use in this product It needs to be easier to configure, it should be something that's working well with other sources. It should be something that allows me to see the logs simply. One to three years. Sometimes it doesn't…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."
"It allows everyone to work from home, and if no one could work from home, then we wouldn't have a company, especially now during COVID-19."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is a stable solution."
"Remote Access VPN is one of those essential items for every organization in order to maintain seamless and highly secured connectivity between the end-user and the organization's local area network to access resources - including Jump server Databases, et cetera."
"Organizations that already use the Check Point NGFW Solution do not require any additional hardware, which makes the implementation straightforward and reduces the time to go live."
"Our return on investment is the ability to allow people to work remotely in a secure way and a stable VPN."
"Its complete ROI, as expected."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has given positive outcomes by providing the flexibility to work from anywhere; it has increased the productivity of the team."
"the security level is very high. After we tested it and checked all the security aspects of the product, we found that it's highly secure."
"From a technical point of view, products are stable and scalable, and we do appreciate the personal touch the sales engineers (SE) support and development bring, as well as the personal touch of the sales support, the free online, and web-based training."
"At the end of the day it's really good and really improved."
"Safe-T SDA has allowed my organization to secure my office applications and makes it harder for hackers to be able to hack into my internal office web applications."
"We use only it for scanning files for viruses."
"Safe-T is very good for users because it has a plug-in for Outlook."
"It's easy to use over the web. A user who is not in the office can use it and securely insert files."
"If you need a solution for sending big files to customers or for receiving large files from them, this is a very good solution."
 

Cons

"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"Automations for cloud integrations need to be expanded, and currently, developers have to manually configure APIs, which is not developer-centric."
"The provisioning of VPN users has room for improvement."
"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."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be improved in that the initial setup and configuration could be simplified for new users."
"A characteristic to improve is the communication service under the SMTP scheme."
"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."
"I would like to see features added to Check Point Remote Access VPN that allow for easier authentication with MFA, and I also want to see a chatbot, an AI chatbot that can help me and my colleagues with issues if they have some."
"The cloud solution is not that great especially with Swiss customers."
"When we have something that we want improved, it takes a little bit of time until it can be fixed."
"I'm not sure what advice I would give others about this product because I don't like Safe-T."
"One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents."
"Setting up Safe-T SDE is very complex. It is not straightforward, and it requires much understanding on the concepts of the product."
"In terms of improvement, they need to be much more strict regarding the roadmap, about timelines and when new features will be up in production."
"Better UI. A better UI for the people that manage all the processes of Safe-T. Some of the UI is not as intuitive as you would like it to be."
"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"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."
"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."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"The price of this product is good."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
