We performed a comparison between Check Point Remote Access VPN and Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager 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 clients of the customers have a facility to access the enterprise network."
"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."
"Check Point Remote Access VPN has some useful features, and configuring it is relatively straightforward."
"It is stable most of the time."
"It keeps us safe when browsing the internet and when sharing confidential information with our colleagues."
"The solution implemented in the cloud allows us to easily scale in cases of user increase."
"Once we install and connect the VPN service, it keeps on running until we disconnect."
"The solution has been solid for me for over five years."
"Devolutions's team is constantly making improvements to their products. If you submit a feature request, they are usually quick to implement it."
"Setup and installation was simple."
"It saves a lot of time for all of our IT staff from having to just use the RDP Windows client and reenter each server every time we access a different system."
"Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze."
"Initial setup was very straightforward."
"Integration with a third party credential storage, web login, and VPN are the most usable and useful functions at the moment."
"RDM has enabled me to do most of my work in one place. This helps me be able to have an RDP session open to a server in one tab and an SSH session open to a VMware host in another."
"It really helps to have all the data already pre-entered and all I have to do is enter the password."
"The connection has gotten less smooth as the number of users increases. The issue is that the logs fill up quickly. Too many users are connecting remotely. It worked great when we only had a few remote connections. Now, it is disconnecting people and dropping the internet connection."
"The provisioning of VPN users has room for improvement."
"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."
"There was complexity in the initial setup."
"The product’s architecture is a bit distributed."
"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 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."
"There needs to be a way to create a VPN client specific to our environment so that we can easily lock down who can connect."
"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
"There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
