Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The biggest advantage of Check Point Remote Access VPN is that we already use the Check Point firewall. We only needed to enable the feature and do the configuration in order to enable the VPN feature. We didn't need to buy or manage new hardware."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"It is stable most of the time."
"The policies are easy to use."
"We can integrate remote access to our branches through Check Point services."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN is a stable solution."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"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."
"it's very easy to use, it's very efficient."
"The solution has been in the market for the past 20 years. For us, it is one of the best tools."
"Has an easy way to remote on to a remote computer without having prior access to it."
"Customer satisfaction went up by 40 percent and productivity for my staff went up by 30 percent."
"It is very straightforward to set up, use, install, and transfer sessions."
"It works with different operating systems, I can connect to a PC or Mac."
"It has a feature that, when you take over the machine, you can get into the system administrator level. We’re able to tweak things on the machine as if we’re sitting there."
"The tech support person I spoke to was very knowledgeable about the product, and was straightforward with me about its capabilities. There was no fluff about the product. They basically said this is not available now and we're hoping to have it available in the third or fourth quarter. It was nice to talk to someone who was straightforward and knew about the product."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"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."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"The product’s architecture is a bit distributed."
"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."
"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."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"I would like the support to be faster."
"Nothing's perfect but I think it's really a great tool just the way it is. The suggestion that I made to them at their user advisory board is that they combine the two products, Rescue and Central, into one because you really should have both. A bunch of the other people in that meeting very much liked that."
"I would like to see a mobile client that would work on an iPad, so I do not always have to be on a PC or a full-blown Mac operating system."
"We are currently supporting Linux, but there are certain limitations. We are currently working on improving Linux support and addressing certain limitations in the roadmap."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network, what good is the product?"
"The one big problem that I have with LogMeIn Rescue is, I use a Mac. All my technicians use PCs. I use a Mac, and the Mac agent crashes at least once a day. I have to stop it and start it again. To date, I don’t have a problem with people using PC. I think the Mac app that they have needs to be improved."
"Support to remotely control more mobile devices' screens is desperately needed. It is sad to see how long this product has been out and how many phones are still not supported for, specifically, remote screen control."
"it needs better iOS integration. It's still limited in its functionality when it comes to iOS. Currently, when you do something other than iOS, you're not able to take control of what's going on; instead of having to tell the user, "Click here, click there," I would like to have full control over an iOS device."
