Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Reliable remote access boosts productivity and connectivity for home-based users
In my opinion, the best feature that Check Point Remote Access VPN offers is its reliability, as there has been no downtime till now. The reliability of Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my daily operations by reducing my support tickets, particularly when users face connection issues due to ISP downtimes. Check Point Remote Access VPN has positively impacted my organization by providing users access to the internal network, allowing us to capture all activities through our network. The visibility offered by Check Point Remote Access VPN has benefited my organization as it detects unauthorized access attempts, immediately alerting me via a pop-up for any threat protection issues.

The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues We cannot see the number of monitors working on the system simultaneously. It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows. The product's stability depends on the network's stability in our…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"By using Microsoft Intune we can control which websites the users can go to and it provides a secure environment for our employees using their laptops that are having access from home. We have installed Intune to control the user's environment minimizing the chances of any hacking."
"I would recommend Microsoft Intune to others; it is a very good and scalable solution."
"Microsoft Intune simplifies device management by replacing the traditional method of installing OS, joining a domain, and configuring everything manually."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"It is a comprehensive security solution that not only controls access to enterprise resources but also tracks and prevents unauthorized access, ensuring the protection of sensitive data and preventing potential data loss scenarios."
"The key benefit of Intune is its integration with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"It's really easy to access."
"It is very easy to use. It has a very easy interface."
"This platform has developed a reliable communication infrastructure that employees can use to communicate with remote workers."
"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 tool is easy to configure and use. We integrated it with Active Directory to manage user authentication. It's intuitive and transparent, making it simple for users to use. It connects automatically to the VPN whenever users turn on the laptop. The product is efficient and offers centralized control."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."
"Scalability is great. We have been able to grow as a corporation due in part to this type of solution."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"Overall, I rate Check Point Remote Access VPN a nine."
"The initial set up is not complex."
"It's very beneficial and time effective on how we are able to provide quick support. We've quadrupled our effectiveness as an IT support because we have cut down all that unnecessary travel time, even between floors."
"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the high performance and it is not complicated to use, neither for me nor for the one I'm helping."
"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."
"It's very easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. The file transfer from remote machines to my machine or from my machine to the remote machine works well."
"The quality of the call and the quality of the sharing have been excellent."
"The product is easy to install."
 

Cons

"There can be more logs. I do not have any other requirements."
"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"I think there should be a better tracking of the cell phones used on the Intune."
"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."
"There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"The reporting dashboard is really limited."
"One thing that could be better in Microsoft Intune is the file size, as it is quite large at times."
"The user interface should be more user-friendly, as it can sometimes be challenging to navigate. Microsoft often relocates features, making it difficult to consistently find what I need."
"This is the best version we are using, however, if some changes can be made in the next release, I'd like to see adjustments to the time period and internet connectivity."
"When you want to deploy a new Check Point agent, it is really a pain in the butt. For example, Windows 10 now has updates almost every couple of months. It changes the versioning and things under the hood. These are things that I don't understand, because I'm not a Windows person. However, I know that the Check Point client is installed on the Windows machine, and if the Check Point client's not kept up-to-date, then it's functionality breaks. It has to be up-to-date with the Windows versions. Check Point has to update the client more often. Now, the problem is that the Check Point client is not easy to update on remote computers and it's not easy to deploy a new client."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"Price category and smooth renewal of agreement should be considered for flawless and quick onboarding of clients and partners."
"The knowledge base can be improved for advanced troubleshooting."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
"The cost of maintenance is high compared to most products in the market."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."
"I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
"On occasion, when remote connection process can't connect to a machine, the error messages aren't always helpful to tell you why you can't connect, as the message doesn't help troubleshoot whether it is too slow, too much interference, etc. I usually have to run to another computer and figure out what is going on, then restart it. The diagnostics could be improved."
"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."
"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."
"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."
"Every now and then you'll get a silent crash and you relaunch the application. But it happens no more than with anything else in the Windows environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Intune is available for individual purchase at a low per-device cost."
"The purchase of the product was handled by someone else."
"The tool is cheaper than our company's other MDM tools."
"The price of Intune is often included as part of a bundle with other Microsoft licenses, which makes it somewhat cheaper."
"In terms of the product price and licensing costs, my company finds the product to be reasonably priced."
"Microsoft Intune is expensive."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"The price of Microsoft Intune is reasonable."
"The price of this product is good."
"I give the price of the solution a five out of ten."
"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."
"The solution is pretty expensive. The rating is an eight."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"TeamViewer pricing is reasonable... The simultaneous controller licensing model of TeamViewer - compared to LogMeIn’s controlled Host licensing model - seems to benefit us so far. We’re currently saving about 30 percent on licensing cost... The savings from licensing have been eaten up by the soft costs involved in dealing with and working around TeamViewer’s deficiencies in allowing granular control by multiple controllers, and the issues with the various settings that are missing on the macOS Host."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
