Niyajuddin Tiwale - PeerSpot reviewer
Technique at Digitaltrack
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.
Rich Darress - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Operating Officer at Darress Tech
A straightforward tool with high adoption rate due to its user-friendliness
SonicWall Mobile Connect’s marketing efforts are commendable; they may not be perceived as the most secure player compared to Fortinet or Meraki. SonicWall Mobile Connect should focus on positioning itself as a strong contender in the mid-market segment to improve its standing. Many high-end engineers dismiss it in favor of Fortinet or Meraki, often due to a lack of firsthand experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have more control over the activity that users have on the internal network, thanks to the monitoring offered by Check Point and the security provided by the gateway."
"Its complete ROI, as expected."
"This solution allows users to connect from any location, is very flexible, lets us easily control access and view usage statistics, and we are happy with the overall stability, easy configuration on the gateway side, and ease of deploying clients to endstations."
"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."
"It is stable most of the time."
"The ability for our entire global organization to work more securely and to allow us to deploy private and dedicated networks in more than one location."
"The VPN hides your IP address and encrypts your online traffic and it essentially ensures that your fingerprints cannot be traced on the Internet."
"The capacity that Check Point Remote Access VPN offers is one of the best, and it has made it easier for us and the team to have great mobility inside and outside the organization."
"This is a stable and reliable solution."
"I can say that it's stable and the performance is acceptable."
"The technical support is fine."
"The solution offers multiple OS support."
"The ease of use is great. It's pretty easy for users to get on the tablet or whatever and select the bookmark they need and just take it over."
"The solution benefits IT managers in backend programming. The ease of configuring and securing it while ensuring security measures is crucial. The tool is easy in terms of user experience. It is straightforward."
 

Cons

"The provisioning of VPN users has room for improvement."
"The scalability needs improvement."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"The ability to allow split-tunneling while still following our corporate policy needs to be on the table."
"You have no ability to reserve a total number of licenses. The VPN user licenses are assigned per gateway, and if you enable MEP function is not so easy to size the gateway licenses."
"They could add more features, like the security to block off the doors, or create another hatch, something like this. They could make the features safer, add malware to make my mail and the Kryon system safer and to protect data at an earlier stage."
"Despite being very intuitive, the interface needs improvements."
"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."
"SonicWall Mobile Connect’s marketing efforts are commendable; they may not be perceived as the most secure player compared to Fortinet or Meraki. SonicWall Mobile Connect should focus on positioning itself as a strong contender in the mid-market segment to improve its standing. Many high-end engineers dismiss it in favor of Fortinet or Meraki, often due to a lack of firsthand experience."
"Lacks multiple cloud integration."
"Licensing includes things that my customers don't need."
"Technical support can always get better. Any time you have to call in for any certain thing, it can be difficult."
"The solution would be improved if SonicWall would also offer it as a cloud-based service. I would also like to see it include multiple cloud integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"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."
"I can say that the licensing costs are charged annually."
"Organizations that already have the Check Point NGFW need to purchase an additional license to have access to the VPN functionality."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is not expensive and the cost is annual."
