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 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."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has some useful features, and configuring it is relatively straightforward."
"The security of the solution is a good feature, the stability is a valuable feature, and the customization is also a nice feature."
"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."
"Our users find the interface very comfortable to use."
"The management of the solution is very simple. It allows for a single view of all the endpoints."
"We have more control over the activity that users have on the internal network, thanks to the monitoring offered by Check Point and the security provided by the gateway."
"Documentation per entry, good for device configs or important/special instructions."
""Inherited" function for credentials - Configure the desired credential at one (top) location, and use the Inherited function on all sub-connections that should use this credential."
"The ability to have all the connection information in one location saves so much time from trying to manage the same information across different applications."
"Makes me instantly more focused on resolving the issue rather than getting to the issue."
"Initial setup was very straightforward."
"Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment."
"It saves a lot of time for all of our IT staff from having to just use the RDP Windows client and reenter each server every time we access a different system."
"Setup and installation was simple."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"We would like to implement HTML5 (clientless access) in the product without installing any additional software."
"It's difficult to configure on Linux workstations as Check Point Remote VPN clients support only Windows and Mac devices."
"The client-side UI is fundamental, and there is nothing to see."
"The authentication that we handle is through a .p12 certificate, however, we have integrated it with a 2MFA service through another provider. Something that could improve Check Point is if it had its own 2MFA service through a blade or some sort of application."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"For Linux machines, they don't have a full client to install. For the users that utilize Linux, there needs to be an equivalent."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
