"Setup using the manuals was easy."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"Check Point has been perfect for protecting us from any type of attack or data theft during remote management."
"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."
"To maintain the authorization of the connected user, Check Point provides multi-factor authentication for an RA VPN client to make sure legitimate users have access to resources."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"TeamViewer has been one of the easiest, right off the bat products, that we have employed at the college. We have had no issues. It's been one of the easiest solutions to pick up."
"I have found the solution to be user-friendly even for beginners. It is not that sophisticated. There are different types of security features available, such as encryption and random machine ID."
"There have been a couple of times with the handy remote access feature, where I have been asked for something at eight o'clock on a Thursday evening and it is on my desk machine, but I am driving back to my office. With TeamViewer, I can just stay at my home machine, connect to my work machine, and get the data needed without having to drive back across town."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"I like that it helped a lot, even with low bandwidth network connectivity. For example, while I was traveling, sometimes there were requirements for me to join a TeamViewer session and provide technical support. I was able to do that without much of an issue. It is also a secure solution."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."
"The most important feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"The connection has gotten less smooth as the number of users increases. The issue is that the logs fill up quickly. Too many users are connecting remotely. It worked great when we only had a few remote connections. Now, it is disconnecting people and dropping the internet connection."
"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"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."
"I would like the support to be faster."
"The maximum it is giving us is only 5 licenses and if you need more, they must be purchased separately."
"There is a paid version of this solution with more features available. However, they should provide more free features to the user, such as factor authentication."
"I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult."
"Sometimes we'll have a device in the field, and I'll click on remote control and it says "Can't authenticate." I'll double click in a different part of the TeamViewer interface and it'll say "Can't authenticate." Then I'll do it a third time and it connects. It's possible that it's just bad luck. It's also very possible that it's some bug within TeamViewer..."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"The performance could always be better."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
