We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and N-able Take Control 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."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."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless access."
"The clients of the customers have a facility to access the enterprise network."
"It is stable most of the time."
"Setup using the manuals was easy."
"We can integrate remote access to our branches through Check Point services."
"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"Take Control enables you to collaborate with end users. It's for supporting a workstation where you want the person on the other side to see you moving their mouse, and you can work with them."
"The most valuable part of N-able Take Control is being able to remotely access your customer's site. You are able to view their network. Once you have it set up, it's always available. N-able Take Control can be used even when other remote access controls have been made."
"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."
"Connection of devices from various locations is efficient though there are a few challenges when there is a network failure."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"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."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN handles up to a hundred megabytes for clients, but I want it to be able to handle up to one gigabyte."
"There was complexity in the initial setup."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"The cost of maintenance is high compared to most products in the market."
"The dashboards I do not use because there are issues. The solution monitors your antivirus and other programs but it does not seem to work well."
"We've seen some latency problems in AWS environments. Aside from that, it's a pretty solid service."
