We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Enterprise Infrastructure VPN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"I found the MEP feature the most valuable. This has improved users' latency allowing the users to connect to the nearest Azure Check Point VM."
"A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."
"It is a scalable solution...The technical support team of the solution is very good."
"The initial set up is not complex."
"The management of the solution is very simple. It allows for a single view of all the endpoints."
"We use it to connect our sites. We have a couple of sites that need to interconnect."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"The most important feature of Check Point Remote Access VPN is the multiple factor authentication."
"The solution has good performance. It is a simple tool to use, once I turn on Windows it automatically starts to use the VPN."
"Support does solve our issues."
"The ability to connect to the VPN remotely."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I like the ability to share the connections or simply to be able to pass the credentials for a connection to other colleagues without bothering too much about the connection being tracked or about security, because each and every user will require a secret password, so I don't really care about sending the details. It's very secure."
"It is reliable and easy to configure, and the Cisco Firewall can last for many years."
"The solution is quite stable."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"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."
"Improved scalability would allow the solution to handle larger numbers of users and devices without a significant impact on performance."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN could be more user-friendly."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"I haven't found there are any shortcomings in the product. For how I use it, it works well."
"Every two weeks there was a new version to install which was annoying for the users."
"At times, the login process takes a lot of time."
"We don't have the correct visibility to see the quantity of licenses we are consuming or not consuming."
"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client can be improved by having better speed and reliability. However, the speed and reliability are already really good."
"In terms of areas for improvement in Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, from my point of view, the solution works well and right now I don't see the need to improve it. Probably a better user interface could be created for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, but its core is VPN creation, and that works well, though I'm not a VPN specialist, and I'm not an expert on how to create a VPN, how the VPN gateway works, how it's implemented, and what's the architecture behind it. A two-factor authentication feature was recently added to the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. In the past, you only needed to log in with your username and password, but now, there's a token, and the user interface for that token isn't that good. That's another area for improvement. Cisco should also make the two-factor authentication better in the solution. What I'd like added to the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client in its next release is a better two-factor authentication, in particular, the validity of the code being shorter because sometimes when I get the code and I add it to the client, it's invalid, though I'm unsure if it's centrally set up that way or if its a characteristic of the product. Making the interface of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client more user-friendly is also what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is its ease of use and simple interface. It's always available as long as I have a good network connection."
"I would like to see improvements in regards to the connectivity speed."
