We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway 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."The solution has good performance."
"It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"We use it to connect our sites. We have a couple of sites that need to interconnect."
"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."
"The policies are easy to use."
"The initial set up is not complex."
"The solution is easy to install, centrally managed, and stable, with good technical support and a straightforward setup."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"This platform has developed a reliable communication infrastructure that employees can use to communicate with remote workers."
"Check Point has been perfect for protecting us from any type of attack or data theft during remote management."
"What I like best about Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is that it's a managed VPN, so it's one of the most powerful VPNs I've ever found. It also provides point-to-site VPNs configurable within a few minutes."
"The Azure tool is useful and powerful and availability for clients. The updates are very good and reliable."
"It is scalable and depends on your chosen network bandwidth."
"All of our offices are using Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway. The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway is its performance. It is very fast."
"The best feature is the ability to connect from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is the networking. I didn't have a good experience with the networking that Sophos has."
"The point-to-site is pretty good for the B2C stuff. It's fairly straightforward to set up."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."
"Some configurations, like idle timeout (the requirement came from multiple users), are not possible to configure directly from the Check Point management server."
"We encounter challenges for the product’s installation and troubleshooting processes compared to other VPN products."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP."
"There was complexity in the initial setup."
"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."
"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."
"In the case of URL translation of the VPN Web portal, the requests made from the front end to the back end weren't valid (due to the use of dynamic subdomains). In the case of host translations, the request was made to the same host, however, we cannot specify the ports, which, in our case, are used to redirect to different servers."
"Make it completely routable, for example, if I have a gateway, I should be able to connect to whatever network I want on either side of the gateway, and the gateway should figure out which packet goes where."
"Documentation and configuration settings can be improved."
"Considering my past interactions with Microsoft's support team, it is difficult to get the right support unless you find the right person to speak with from the customer support team."
"The marketing material in the portal is not very user-friendly."
"It isn't stabilized on the first day, and you need to set up the channels properly."
"Connectivity could be improved in Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway because it's not as stable, particularly when connecting a device tunnel."
"Microsoft Azure VPN Gateway could improve by providing IPS zero-day threat protection. For example, the IPS zero-day threat protection can monitor the user behavior to protect the infrastructure. The solution can only be used as a VPN, it is lacking features."
"Their technical support could be better. If you don't have a support contract, it takes longer."
