"One of the features that I like most about this software is that it has a very intuitive, simple, and versatile interface that makes it easy to use and configure."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"Access is browser-based only and requires no additional client installation."
"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."
"The initial set up is not complex."
"Organizations that already use the Check Point NGFW Solution do not require any additional hardware, which makes the implementation straightforward and reduces the time to go live."
"It offers a simple configuration and setup."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution's USB redirection could be improved."
"In my organization, there aren't Linux users, however, I know it has difficulties offering secure access for customers who use this operating system."
"The main feature that would be improved within Check Point Remote Access is its operation within Linux OS, as it currently does not have many features for that OS."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's current configuration has some limitations and issues. One major drawback is the inability to configure multiple gateways from the same management server for VPN access."
"It would be good to have Remote Access VPN solutions for Check Point edge services."
"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."
"The non-standard setup is quite complex as you have to do changes via GUI and CLI."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN's enterprise support could be improved."
"Sometimes it causes the consumption of machine resources, and also improves the scanning since they consume many resources in the clients' machines."
