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."It's an ideal gateway solution for small and medium businesses, i.e., around 300 devices can be easily handled."
"The solution has good performance."
"A single login based on a second authentication factor is giving us the possibility of integrating third-party services for authentication based on a security scheme."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"The tool is easy to configure and use. We integrated it with Active Directory to manage user authentication. It's intuitive and transparent, making it simple for users to use. It connects automatically to the VPN whenever users turn on the laptop. The product is efficient and offers centralized control."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"Access is browser-based only and requires no additional client installation."
"The secure hotspot access for enabling good network connectivity is great."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN enables us to access on-premise applications while working from remote locations."
"The IPSec VPN, Mobile Access, and Identity Awareness are three of the blades with which we have been working with since the pandemic. This has given us great mobility, making our network more dynamic."
"The most valuable feature of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is the one-click VPN connection. Additionally, the performance is good."
"The ability to connect to the VPN remotely."
"The setup is quick and easy on the client-side."
"I like how I don't need to see the solution or start it up. I just use my computer and have it working in the background. I start my laptop and it's there and working. That's the most important feature."
"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client provides a secure way for users to access our systems remotely."
"Support does solve our issues."
"Advanced malware protection helps us to prevent any virus from contaminating computers. We also have DLP for prevention. And AnyConnect has a feature that lets us do some sandboxing to evaluate files that arrive from the outside. So before opening them, we can check them with the sandbox."
"The most valuable feature is AnyConnect's reliability."
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."
"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."
"We would like to see support for a layer seven VPN over UDP."
"When you need to create something, you have to follow many steps and I think that should be simplified."
"The product’s architecture is a bit distributed."
"Sometimes the application slows down the computing device, and this affects workflows."
"Compliance Check on Check Point should be improved by having more configurable conditions to support multi-platforms and adding more granularity."
"I would like the support to be faster."
"Bug Fixes and enhancement requests should be remediated earlier."
"There are times the WiFi connectivity has disruptions and you have disconnections. It doesn't work with two connections. I have two switches back and forth sometimes. It doesn't have a failback scenario feature. However, on the gateway side, it does, but on the user device, it doesn't have that kind of option. It would be nice to have this feature."
"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is a stable solution. However, there have been times it has not worked and I needed to call our IT department. It could be more stable."
"There are some issues with connectivity and latency that should be improved."
"Behavior analytics and other newer technologies should be integrated into the solution."
"If they could simplify connections via other machines, like Linux or Mac OS X, it would be helpful."
"The logout should be automized and it should have a reminder that you have logged in into a private network."
"More frequent updates would be ideal."
"The cost could always be a bit less."
