We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and GoToMyPC based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."This platform has developed a reliable communication infrastructure that employees can use to communicate with remote workers."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless access."
"The secure hotspot access for enabling good network connectivity is great."
"Scalability is great. We have been able to grow as a corporation due in part to this type of solution."
"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."
"Among its most valuable features is how it quickly and easily connects everyone to the VPN service."
"Thanks to all these security processes, our users can access our infrastructure with the certainty that we will not be compromised."
"The policies are easy to use."
"The technical support is good."
"The solution is very quick to set up."
"The installation is almost instant."
"I can do anything from a remote desktop as if I were sitting at my own PC."
"This solution has allowed us to have a highly flexible remote access solution in DR/BC situations."
"A characteristic to improve is the communication service under the SMTP scheme."
"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."
"The fully-featured security module is only supported on Windows and Mac systems, which means that organizations with Linux will face issues providing secure access."
"The main area for improvement is pricing. Another area could be integrating MFA authentication directly into the solution instead of using separate benchmark tools for implementation."
"The cost of maintenance is high compared to most products in the market."
"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."
"There is always room for innovation and the addition of new features."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
