"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 management of the solution is very simple. It allows for a single view of all the endpoints."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"We use it to connect our sites. We have a couple of sites that need to interconnect."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"This platform has developed a reliable communication infrastructure that employees can use to communicate with remote workers."
"For a basic setup, implementation is quite easy."
"The solution offers great security features, including zero-day protection, malware protection, anti-phishing, et cetera."
"The tool's most valuable feature is remote access."
"I can safely say this is one of the best solutions I have seen for VPN access. It can achieve what other vendors may not be able to. This product will train you about exactly what an SSL should be. You can leverage it to do whatever you wish, the way you wish to do it. This is the solution if you want a perfectly scalable product for your enterprise that can help your mobile users and integrate with the latest technologies."
"The most valuable features of the solution are reliability and uptime."
"Pulse Connect Secure is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Pulse Connect Secure are multi-factor authentications, and VPNs and SSL VPNs we are using."
"The solution helps with principal decisions. It also helps with the security and configuration of many technologies."
"The flexibility in their management is great."
"It is customer-friendly. It is quite easy for our users to connect. There is also the flexibility of the features."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN handles up to a hundred megabytes for clients, but I want it to be able to handle up to one gigabyte."
"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."
"In the case of URL translation of the VPN Web portal, the requests made from the front end to the back end weren't valid (due to the use of dynamic subdomains). In the case of host translations, the request was made to the same host, however, we cannot specify the ports, which, in our case, are used to redirect to different servers."
"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"We'd like to integrate Check Point into the Remote Access VPN solution and have the ability to integrate multiple devices as access points through the solution."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"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."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
"I don't have any downsides to report about the product at this time."
"There is room for improvement. I'm concerned about the frequent vulnerabilities identified. As a security product, the number of vulnerabilities is concerning."
"The product's price is an area where improvements are required."
"Ivanti Connect Secure needs to have faster connections. It also needs to improve the stability."
"Pulse Connect Secure could improve by having better integration with NAC solutions, such as Cisco ClearPass integration with Pulse Connect Secure. Additionally, they need better integration with Microsoft Azure AD and Azure Authenticator."
"At the moment, Pulse Connect Secure is a pretty good solution, and I don't see any issues with it. Currently, I'm not aware of a new or additional feature that's needed in Pulse Connect Secure, but it would be good if the team could look at how the speed of connection could be increased. Though it's quite seamless and I didn't face any problem with the speed, it would be better to improve the speed and keep going forward, especially as the industry's changing and people would love connections to be a lot faster."
"This solution normally works but at times, we have had trouble with connectivity."
"Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it."
