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 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."
"The solution is easy for administrators because you can check logs and write rules on the same page."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"The team has full visibility of the users that connect allowing them to keep control of who is in the network and what data they are allowing to come in and out."
"It operates effectively, particularly during challenges like adversities or infrastructure issues."
"Scalability is great. We have been able to grow as a corporation due in part to this type of solution."
"For us, it was essential to integrate with Active Directory, which is our credentials repository."
"It is easy to install the Endpoint Remote Access VPN client to different platforms."
"It's very beneficial and time effective on how we are able to provide quick support. We've quadrupled our effectiveness as an IT support because we have cut down all that unnecessary travel time, even between floors."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."
"It was worth the investment. You can do file transfers and video calls with it. You can do a lot of copy paste stuff. E.g., if I have a file and want to place it on somebody's machine, I can just copy it off of mine and paste it right on their machine. I don't have to put it in a Dropbox account and have them log into it to pull it off. I can do all that right through TeamViewer. When you're looking at the TeamViewer screen, you think you are working on your own machine."
"TeamViewer is fast and easy to manipulate."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"The product is easy to install."
"I recommend it as a solution for remote disk users."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"Price category and smooth renewal of agreement should be considered for flawless and quick onboarding of clients and partners."
"Compliance Check on Check Point should be improved by having more configurable conditions to support multi-platforms and adding more granularity."
"In an environment with multiple cluster checkpoints, the global properties common to all clusters in some cases give problems."
"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."
"Improvements for Check Point Remote Access VPN could include enhancing mobile connectivity for a smoother user experience."
"When you need to create something, you have to follow many steps and I think that should be simplified."
"They need to increase their timeout. Right now, it will fail after ten seconds, however, it shouldn't fail until after 20. If you don't get on your phone right away and check on your authentications, it will kick you out."
"The VPN remote Access blade could be improved."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"If were to I put myself in the seat of a small business owner, I would prefer TeamViewer to be more of a pay-once-and-own-it solution, rather than paying via a subscription model (although I am using the free version). Only annual subscriptions are available. It makes paying for it the first time seem a little daunting."
"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."
"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult."
"It's not the program itself that's an issue, but there is a need for some better documentation on how to use the web portal Management Console. That seems to be a bit lacking in directions, if you aren't paying attention and you don't know what to do. Better documentation would make it a little bit easier to set things up in different groups and share groups between people."
"TeamViewer can improve by making the interface more user-friendly. It looks very basic, they can make it more modern and easy to use."
