Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."
"It offers a simple configuration and setup."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"The team has full visibility of the users that connect allowing them to keep control of who is in the network and what data they are allowing to come in and out."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"Access is browser-based only and requires no additional client installation."
"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the CASB solutions, which is protecting their Office 365."
"What I find most valuable in Zscaler Private Access is that it's a VPN. Its connectivity as a VPN is its most valuable feature."
"The solution offers a simplified network infrastructure and security functions and it enables secure remote access for the users"
"The most valuable feature of Zscaler Private Access is the categorization of the dynamic URLs which keeps the customer's environment protected. The threats and the malware are correctly categorized."
"It is easy to use."
"SASE's most valuable features are proxy and content filtering."
"With SASE, we have a single platform that covers multiple task services with which we need to control access. All the features are equally valuable."
"The scalability of the solution is great."
"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"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."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"I would like this service to be easier to manage when you integrate it with third parties."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"I cannot see the full effect of the endpoint solution because it relies on having access to the DNF queries, which might not go through the Check Point firewall when you're using it for perimeter networks. Check Point will not identify the actual source of the net queries. This may be related to the architecture, however, and not poor product issues. I don't know if it can be improved on the Check Point side or not."
"Sometimes we have some small problems with Check Point Remote Access VPN. For example, problems with authentication."
"I would like the support to be faster."
"We often face performance and latency issues with Zscaler SASE."
"There is improvement in enhancing proper manageability, policies, and logs. So, log management could be improved."
"The stability could be improved."
"The area that requires improvement is their support. The current support is lacking."
"It has massive room for improvement. The Zscaler product itself is okay, but it doesn't give enough granularity for us as an organization to stipulate rules or processes, especially for data-driven services. For instance, we can stick on SSL inspection, but it's just a click box. It doesn't allow us to go any further into the detail of the SSL inspection. We also can't pull it out without having an additional logging server. It just doesn't give us enough granularity. They should give us more control over the interfaces because it is all backend. They weren't very open to discussing their backend architecture with us in terms of their own data centers. They can maybe a little bit more open about what components are there and how the backend infrastructure works alongside Zscaler. Its licensing can be better. Some of the additional licensing costs are quite high, and they should have certain features ready and available as a baseline rather than having to purchase additional licenses for it. Their support should also be improved. I initially had a consultant from Zscaler for its deployment, but the support that I had throughout the deployment of the project wasn't the best."
"While Zscaler supports client-initiated connections, it does not support server-initiated connections. This is a feature that Zscaler may consider adding in the future."
"The DX layer could be better if it had improved visibility."
"There is some issue while accessing the portal. It takes too long."
