Has improved security and enabled remote work flexibility across teams
The best features Check Point Remote Access VPN offers are its security features, which stand out to me. Whenever we are giving the remote access VPN to any employees or vendors, we can specify and control particular access. If we want to give access to a particular IP only, we can achieve that via this feature, and we also apply security features such as antivirus and anti-spyware while giving access to any employees or partners. The ability to control and specify access with Check Point Remote Access VPN, such as limiting to particular IPs or applying antivirus and anti-spyware, makes our environment safe from cyber threats and any types of malicious activities or accessing our private data. We control this through the feature by applying security policies that allow particular users. After deploying Check Point Remote Access VPN solution, I can say that our productivity has maximized. Users are working from home and even working 24/7. If they want, they can access our resources at any time, providing flexibility to work from anywhere. Employees say that sometimes they are not available during the working hour, but they can work from home at their flexible timing, needing access to our private network resources. They sit at home or any remote site and connect to our network to work, which is very good.

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…

"The solution is easy to install, centrally managed, and stable, with good technical support and a straightforward setup."
"Our VPN connects over 1,200 people with no issues."
"Setup using the manuals was easy."
"It's easy to use over the web. A user who is not in the office can use it and securely insert files."
"We use only it for scanning files for viruses."
"Safe-T is very good for users because it has a plug-in for Outlook."
"You can easily integrate it and fit the system to your organization's needs, and that's a very huge advantage."
"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."
"If you need a solution for sending big files to customers or for receiving large files from them, this is a very good solution."
"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."
 

Cons

"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"Knowledge base documentation can be upgraded."
"Despite being very intuitive, the interface needs improvements."
"The endpoint security VPN client sometimes feels heavy, and due to this, we have to install and uninstall it because of PC slowness. This aspect can be improved."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"Check Point RA VPN requires companies to take separate licenses initially so that only 5 connected users licenses are given as subscriptions."
"There was complexity in the initial setup."
"Compliance Check on Check Point should be improved by having more configurable conditions to support multi-platforms and adding more granularity."
"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 cloud solution is not that great especially with Swiss customers."
"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."
"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."

"The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."
